The secondary low has yet to develop this morning, however the rain and snow has already entered the forecast area via the fast moving cold front. For the most part, this clipper and the eventual coastal low that will form and become the primary low pressure system by late this afternoon will have a [...]

All this warm weather is making me think of baseball!
After a very warm day yesterday where temperatures soared into the 50’s and even 60’s, a cold front moved through last evening to knock temperatures back to more seasonable levels. High pressure will move right over the forecast area today with clear skies and light [...]

Over the next seven days, the developing negative NAO will play an important role in limiting the warm up over the forecast area. Temperatures will still rise above normal and will likely feel spring-like compared to the 10’s, 20’s, and 30’s experienced over the past 30 to 60 days, but conditions could have been [...]

The big storm is now exiting stage right with little evidence of snow on the ground after the driving rainstorm that followed.
High pressure will continue to build into the forecast area from the southwest, supporting a northwesterly wind at all levels of the atmosphere. Temperatures will average near normal with highs in the [...]

For most of the forecast area, the forecasted ice and snow totals verified via reports from the National Weather Service. The one area that busted was in northeastern Pennsylvania where 6 to 10 inches of snow was expected. Instead, most locations in extreme northeastern Pennsylvania only received around 4 inches. When I looked back [...]

The back end of the precipitation over the Ohio Valley is currently producing heavy snow and ice over parts of the Ohio Valley, can we expect the same?
Well, clearly 850 MB temperatures crash quickly below freezing while the precipitation begins to move through. This trend is seen this morning and has been seen in [...]

Hey, where is Vanilla Ice anyway? Last I heard he was destroying a VH1 studio.
Anyway, freezing rain is falling heavily over central New Jersey and currently right over my location in Freehold. My major concern is that in Freehold I am sitting at 28 degrees with freezing rain. Trenton is in an even [...]

The cold air is being rather stubburn to leave the forecast area, however the signals are showing up as winds slowly shift to the east. Before the warm air gets into much of the forecast area though, ice is going to be a significant concern through the morning hours from Philadelphia through central New [...]
