Thoughts, Theories, and The Future of this Pattern

1:30 PM
I want to start this post by saying that what I am about to write is a theory, an unproven theory at that, which has been rattling around in my brian for the past several days.
As we all know, the Tropical Atlantic season has been less than stellar with very few tropical systems impacting [...]

What has caused the heavy rainfall this month?

9:52 AM
June has seen some very impressive rainfall amounts with many locations well over an inch above normal.  Even some locations double the amount of normal rainfall.  While a continuous onslaught of showers and thunderstorms have impacted much of the Mid Atlantic, and specifically the New York City and Philadelphia metropolitan areas, other locations have [...]

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 [...]

Another rainy day for the region

7:39 AM
A clash of air masses is unfolding right over the forecast area as the marine air mass that has been over the forecast area the past several days slowly is eroded from the region and off the coast.  The latest surface map best describes the current situation.  High pressure remains off the New England [...]

Stationary front to keep dreary conditions through Friday

7:13 AM
While much of eastern Pennsylvania was impacted by strong to severe thunderstorms yesterday, much of the coastal plain was under the influence of a cool marine air mass, which produced generally overcast skies and showery conditions.  The strong to severe thunderstorms over Pennsylvania produce large hail, frequent light, and flash flooding.  I do not [...]

Strong thunderstorms on the move, more to come later

7:18 AM
There’s a lot to discuss this morning, so lets dive right into it!
An impressive line of thunderstorms has developed early this morning in response to the strong low level jet stream at 950 and 850 MB this morning.  The warm front continues to lift north and eastward, but is having some difficulty doing so [...]

Stormy and wet conditions to continue through Friday

7:23 AM
A line of impressively strong thunderstorms moved through much of central New Jersey this morning with very heavy rainfall, wind gusts over 50 mph, and impressive lightning strikes.  Those thunderstorms have already had an impact on the region’s forecast as the cold front that was to the west of the region is now off [...]

Active spring pattern continues

8:26 AM
The Spring pattern that has brought a noticeable increase in precipitation over much of the forecast area, and that pattern will continue through the end of this week and through this weekend. 
Note the map to the left.  I labeled the “storm track” but not the jet stream pattern.  The reason why is because the [...]

Fog will burn away, severe weather on the way

7:40 AM
The latest visible satellite image clearly shows that fog has developed throughout much of the forecast area with dense fog advisories issued for much of the region.  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 [...]

Rain returns for next four days!

7:13 AM
A break in the dry and cool weather is beginning and a good dose of rainfall will be moving through the forecast area this afternoon and again on Saturday night through Sunday.  
An area of low pressure over the Tennessee Valley continues to organize this morning and will move towards the forecast area by [...]
