Evening Thoughts- storm threat increases for Friday

November 24th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

10:15 PM
Tonight I’ve been going over the various models from the 12Z and 18 Z guidance. First I want to touch on the storm potential for Thursday night into Friday.
The 18Z models are a good indicator of where models are trending or adjusting to. Both the 18Z GFS and NAM produced a stronger and more [...]

Things to do today

September 11th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

9:44 AM
Personal post here for those interested.
I just want to take some time to send out my thoughts for those suffering from the tragedy that occurred on September 11, 2001. I was in college at the time, thinking about graduating and what the future held when the cowardly attack unfolded right in the city that [...]

Afternoon Thoughts

March 1st, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

5:21 PM
Well, the storm is right on the door steps as snow has started to fall over southern New Jersey.
At this point, the upper level structure of this storm is rather impressive. The upper level low remains strong and separate of the northern branch, which has been key to this point. The conveyor belts [...]

Defined Thoughts And Increasing Confidence

January 24th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

10:52 AM
I’m going to cover all the thoughts for the next seven (7) days in this one post. The reason is because the short and medium range periods are really interconnected so there’s no point in splitting them up. So get that coffee cup and prepare to read a lot. I’m going to add more [...]

Thoughts About What Could Have Been

January 13th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

9:06 PM
Before I issue a snow map for this Thursday and discuss the increasing potential for signifcant winter storm on Sunday night into Monday morning, I just want to touch upon the potential that has been missed just off the coast.
At this hour, a strengthening area of low pressure is deepening a bit too far [...]

Wrapping Up Thoughts

January 10th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

9:19 PM
Well, to say this storm was a disappointment as far as precipitation would be an understatement.
What Went Right: Despite model guidance saying otherwise, precipitation never went over to rain for the majority of the forecast area save southern New Jersey. The idea that I went with that the 850 MB low would track in [...]

Sorry about the break, had to take care of some family stuff.

Developing Clipper Will Bring A Coating Of Snow To Forecast Area

December 6th, 2008 by Steven DiMartino

When forecasting the weather, the most import tool a meteorologist has is current observations. In today’s day and age, that also includes great radar and satellite data. What I see this morning is a clipper driving through the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley with more moisture and stronger upper level dynamics than forecasted on most [...]

Stormy Sunday, But Not Snowy

November 26th, 2008 by Steven DiMartino

Yesterday there was a lot of excitement when the medium range model guidance, especially the ECMWF produced a rather snowy solution for the coastal storm on Sunday. Even with the exciting model output, I had my significant doubts on this system playing out due to some of the points I made, one of which was [...]
