Cold Front, Potential Coastal, And The Developing Deep Freeze

We are heading towards the finish line for November (wow, this month went fast), and all signs continue to point to some interesting potential for the forecast area through the Thanksgiving week.  
First lets deal with the end of the weekend, which will be dry yet very cold on Sunday.  Temperatures will continue to average [...]

Weak Clippers and Cold Temperatures

So is everyone welcoming an early visit by winter?  If not, then you are not going to enjoy the forecast discussions today nor much of December.  More on that later.
Cloudy conditions are expected through much of the day as a weak clipper moves towards the Mid Atlantic coast.  The low currently (6:50 AM) is over [...]

Cold And Quiet Through Wednesday

The forecast area along with much of the Northeast and Mid Atlantic will be under the influence of a  deep trough.  The trough axis will move from just west of the forecast area to east of the forecast area by Wednesday, which will be a key feature for disturbances that move through the forecast area. [...]

Very Wet Day Expected, Cold Change On The Way

The forecast area is in store for a very wet Saturday.  The second disturbance associated with this large long wave trough is currently moving through the forecast area with moderate to heavy rain from eastern North Carolina to the Hudson Valley.  This rainfall is not making much progression to the east and rain will continue [...]

Very Heavy Rains On The Way

This week is certainly going to end on the very wet side as a storm gets it’s act together over the eastern third of the nation through Saturday morning.
I’m going to jump right to Thursday afternoon.  The most interesting aspect of this period is the small yet intense southern branch disturbance that moves from the [...]

Cold Turkey On The Way

All evening I’ve been looking at a lot of long range data to see how my winter forecast is holding up.  Let me tell you, the signals are very promising for those that like cold, stormy, and snowy weather conditions.
The basic observations I have been studying with the past few patterns is interesting.  For example, [...]

Coastal Low Slowly Exits, Strong Cold On The Way

The coastal low off the Mid Atlantic coast apparently likes the area, as the low pressure system continues to sit over the forecast area.  As a result, clouds and a weakening northeasterly wind will persist through the afternoon hours.  Regardless, temperatures will warm into the mid to upper 60’s throughout the forecast area, which will [...]

A Complicated Period Of Weather Ahead

A strong upper low will take shape over the Great Lakes this weekend, which will support strong high pressure building over the forecast area.  This Polar high pressure system will have the support of strong confluence and convergence over the central Great Lakes with ridge extending into the forecast area on Sunday and Monday.  
Meanwhile, [...]

Wet And Warm Conditions For The End Of The Week

The coastal low that has slowly developed over the southern Mid Atlantic will continue to impact the forecast area today through Thursday night.  
The coastal low and the associated upper low over the forecast area, will continue to push a marine air mass into the forecast area.  The majority of the strongest lifting will remain [...]

Coastal Low Rapidly Developing

Another week, another coastal low.  Are we seeing a trend here?
The next 66 hours, a deepening upper low will move from the southern Ohio Valley towards the Mid Atlantic coast.  At the surface, the surface low will continue to strengthen off the Mid Atlantic coast.  
The majority of the rainfall today will remain to the [...]
