Heavy rain and severe weather a significant threat

7:30 AM
The forecast for today through tonight is best described as significantly complicated and potentially very active.  The main theme is basically the progression of the warm front currently over southwesterly Pennsylvania through eastern Virginia.  I want to start with the fact that the surface low pressure system is further north and weaker than forecasted [...]

Update on showers and thunderstorms

4:09 PM
The majority of the showers and thunderstorms that have formed this afternoon are the direct result of the sun being allowed to warm and destabilize the lower boundary layers of the atmosphere.  Showers and thunderstorms will continue to intensify and rotate northwest to southeast through the forecast area.  However, as the evening progresses and [...]

Atmosphere destabilizing once again

1:33 PM
As the cold front stalls over the New Jersey coast this afternoon, some of the low clouds have broken and has allowed the sun to break through.  As a result, the atmosphere is warming and becoming unstable.  With the frontal boundary remaining an area of focused low level lifting, this means the development of [...]

Cold air mass in control next two days

7:10 AM
If you go outside, you probably won’t believe that the Mets and Yankees start playing real baseball games in roughly two weeks!  A strong arctic high pressure is positioned over Quebec this morning and supporting a cold, dense air mass over the forecast area this morning.  Temperatures this morning have ranged from the lower [...]

Cold front on the move, quiet conditions through this week

10:37 AM
Good morning everyone!  
I don’t know about everyone else, but I have been having a blast watching all the NCAA basketball games, especially since I am getting most of the picks correct!  However, there’s actually some action going on with the weather out there today and it is time to discuss what’s going on [...]

Satellite Data Telling An Interesting Story

8:35 PM
Looking at the satellite data can be an important tool is figuring out what is going on in the atmosphere.  The water vapor and IR satellite images to the left.  First, let’s take a look at the IR satellite image.  Clearly the clouds are cooling rapidly over the East coast, which indicates rapidly rising [...]

A Super Weekend For The Super Bowl

6:37 AM
Okay, so the Super Bowl is no where near the forecast area, but the weather conditions will still be great for traveling to your favorite hot spot to watch the game or to go out and get about 80 pounds of wings.  Personally, I’m rooting for a good game and hopefully less officiating.  
Anyway, [...]

Thoughts For Sunday Night

9:10 PM
As I was alluding to this morning, model guidance is wavering on how to handle the intensifying trough and the large strong disturbance that will be diving towards the Mid Atlantic on Sunday and exploding somewhere off the coast on Sunday night into Monday. 
As a forecaster, I know that trying to nail down details [...]

This Pattern, More Than Meets The Eye

7:51 AM
Taking a look at the pattern via surface maps, the potential and interest in the pattern through this weekend into next week would best be described as boring, especially the GFS.  However, if one was to look at 500 MB, they would come away with a totally different perspective on this pattern that is [...]
