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 [...]

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.

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.

A strong arctic high pressure is positioned over Quebec this morning and supporting a cold, dense air mass over the forecast area this morning.

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.

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.

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.
