My thoughts this evening on the storm for Friday night through Sunday morning has not changed much. The overall development of the storm will depend on the development of the Polar Vortex and the interaction of the Arctic cold front with the Sub Tropical disturbance.
The initial set up for this storm on Friday afternoon [...]

I have a feeling that I am going to be a very busy meteorologist through the New Year. The active, cold pattern is well on the way of forming and organizing and the agreement on the GFS and ECMWF in the medium and long range guidance of the overall pattern structure is nearly uncanny. [...]

Today would not be the day to open two new baseball stadiums in the New York City area as a rainy and stormy day and evening is expected. Currently, a warm front is progressing northward over the Maryland and Delaware with a steady light rain over much of the forecast area this morning. The [...]

The dense fog has developed due to a combination of lingering low level moisture from a few showers early this morning and very light winds. The good [...]
