Mesoscale question for central New Jersey

August 11th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

5:05 AM
Yesterday I got an interesting question on my facebook wall from a reader in Manalapan, New Jersey. Here is what he wrote:
“I live in a neighboring community ( Manalapan )… Yesterday I watched the radars most of the afternoon & evening & found again that storms just fade away or dissapate so many times [...]

June 19th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

7:15 AM
As low pressure exits the forecast area this morning, a brief break in the clouds and rainfall can be expected through the day. In case anyone forgot, that big bright ball in the sky is called the sun, and no we are not in Seatlle. Weak high pressure over the eastern Great Lakes will [...]

Snowy Tuesday Or Just Snow Showers?

January 31st, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

10:12 AM
The medium range forecast obviously is focused on Tuesday as to whether the forecast area gets a heavy snowfall or nothing at all. It’s amazing just how much the model guidance has changed in the past few days where the forecast from ALL guidance went from a driving rainstorm for the forecast area and [...]

The Models Trend East, And Here Is Why

January 30th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

6:53 AM
All throughout the forecast area, I am betting there are some pretty surprised and possibly exited snow lover out there if they saw the trends and solutions of the GFS, ECMWF, and Canadian model guidance. The models took a huge leap to the east with the ECMWF taking the most significant shift from a [...]

Precipitation is racing through Illinois and entering Indian. This area of precipitation is producing light snow and is a heck of a lot more consolidated than any model guidance has [...]

Minor Snow For Sunday Night Into Monday

January 24th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

8:32 PM
For the past several days I have advertised the idea of a light snow developing Sunday night through Monday morning for southern portions of the forecast area, specifically for southern New Jersey.
Moisture is now starting to develop over Nebraska and expand eastwards towards the north/central Plains. As this moisture moves eastwards towards the [...]

Afternoon Thoughts

January 17th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

4:40 PM
I’m going to be heading out for the evening for a family event, but I want to leave some thoughts before I head out this evening.
Keep an eye on that moisture over south central PA. If that precipitation makes the jump over the mountains, that means that the mid level forcing is stronger than [...]
