A lot of action is starting to unfold for the northern Mid Atlantic. As we all know, there is a snow threat for this weekend that has the potential to produce a significant snowfall for much of the northern Mid Atlantic. Then there is the threat influence of the MJO in phase 7 [...]

A light snow event is going to unfold on Friday morning, but the details remain uncertain as much depends on the evolution of mesoscale parameters. So this morning, I’m going to try to clear some of the fog and mist of this time period and discuss the potential that exits and why it [...]

On Monday, the cold front that moved through the [...]
