Warmer times ahead after glancing blow

7:48 AM
A strong area of low pressure is rapidly developing along the Gulf Coast, however this storm is staying far enough south and east to not have a major impact on the region’s weather.
The “pattern changer” as I like to call it is not over the Gulf Coast however but the West coast as a [...]

Rain today, snow potential grows for end of the week

8:25 AM
A new coastal storm is starting to take shape off the North Carolina coast this morning and has produced periods of moderate to heavy rain along the immediate coast and a mix of snow and sleet over the northwestern interior.  In fact, moderate to heavy snow is growing in coverage and intensity this morning [...]

Cold front passage brings Arctic air back

7:30 AM
A cold front with an Arctic air mass behind the passage of the front is moving through the region this morning with scattered snow showers for much of the region.  The cold front is currently located in western Pennsylvania and will move east through the day.  Winds initially from the southwest will allow afternoon [...]

Area of rain and snow approaching from the west

9:00 AM
An area of rain and snow showers is expanding and intensifying over south-central Pennsylvania this morning.  This area of precipitation is developing due to enhanced lifting from the upper low over Virginia.  As the upper low moves east along with the rapidly intensifying coastal low off the Virginia coast, this area of precipitation will [...]

No significant changes to thoughts from this morning

8:50 PM
The current trends on the radar and the satellite basically support the forecast that I issued this morning.  I don’t expect much in the way of precipitation north of central New Jersey through the immediate northwest suburbs of Philadelphia from this developing low pressure.
This evening, a new coastal low is forming off the South [...]

That cold air is knocking on the door!

9:40 AM
The low pressure system well to the east of Long Island this morning is going to be the trigger for a very cold and latter, a very active pattern for much of the eastern United States.
Currently, this low pressure system had the potential to produce very heavy snowfall for much of the northern [...]

First disturbance brings the snow, second one not so much

7:34 AM
A weakening yet still energetic disturbance in the Sub Tropical jet stream this morning is producing light to moderate snowfall over much of the Philadelphia and New York City metropolitan areas this morning.
This disturbance is moving slightly faster than forecasted, but still on track to produce some minor accumulations.  The rain/snow line is currently [...]

Major Changes And The Reasons Behind Them

8:47 AM
An extremely rare and extremely difficult forecast is evolving for the forecast area this morning.  In previous posts, I stated my doubts of a heavy snowfall as a perfect track with perfect timing was going to be needed to produce a significant snowfall along the coast.  The model guidance and more importantly, the atmosphere [...]

No Snow Storm, But Still Stormy

6:00 AM
Model guidance for this period is starting to come into line with my thinking of a basic non-event for the potential storm on Sunday night.  Let say right off the bat, that I think the 00Z GFS over phased the disturbances on Sunday morning, which lead to the big rain storm on the model [...]

A Not So Wild Clipper And Plenty Of High Pressure

5:58 AM
As the storm from Thursday morning continues to drive north and east, the forecast area will experience dry yet windy conditions on Friday.  Temperatures will average below normal for the day as a strong Polar air mass sets in.
The clipper which was shown to be rather impressive on the previous GFS runs now is [...]
