Tropical Depression Four takes shape

August 16th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

9:00 AM
The tropical Atlantic pulled a magic act on me this morning, while my attention was drawn to the central Atlantic a new tropical depression formed overnight just off the Florida coast.
A low level low pressure system developed this morning and sustained winds have reached 35 mph. Tropical Depression Four will eventually reach tropical storm [...]

Another day, another stationary frontal boundary

June 12th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

8:52 AM
This summer is not shaping up to be one that works out well for beach lovers. This morning, yet another cold front is slowly losing steam over the forecast area as scattered showers continue to move through the region.
The majority of the rainfall is now off the coast as the best dynamics race towards the [...]

Great conditions to start the week

June 1st, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

6:42 AM
Through this week, the pattern will exhibit all the possible outcomes that the forecast area will see through this week all of which will be influenced by the position of the trough over the Great Lakes and the ridge over the western Atlantic through this period. Already this morning, we can see the evolution [...]

Next week is shaping up to be on par with about average in terms of temperatures and precipitation.

Everything Coming Into Place

March 1st, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

7:24 AM
It is very rare to see all the pieces of a major snow storm come together when the usual 500 MB key indicators are missing to such a great extent. Well, remember this storm because the observational data strongly is pointing in that direction!
The low pressure system that is bringing light snow and [...]

A Rough Rush Hour

February 3rd, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

5:02 PM
Rush hour is not going to be pretty for the Philadelphia and New York City metros this evening. Moderate snow will continue over many locations with some bursts of heavy snow at times within the bands moving through the forecast area. I expect the snow to taper off from southwest to northeast through the [...]

More Challenging Forecasts On The Way

January 16th, 2009 by Steven DiMartino

7:58 AM
The pattern is not going to break down quietly, I think that is for certain. The cold air mass is refreshed though not as intense on Monday and Tuesday as the storm, in what ever result, exits the forecast area. Some moderation begins in the temperatures on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday, however many locations [...]

Windy End To 2008

December 31st, 2008 by Steven DiMartino

7:47 AM
The new coastal low pressure system is really starting to take shape right over southern New Jersey and the immediate coastal waters, specifically around Atlantic City.
Through the rest of today, rain and snow showers will change over to all snow showers throughout the entire forecast area. Temperatures will fall through the afternoon through the [...]

The Road To Snow And Cold

December 26th, 2008 by Steven DiMartino

8:24 AM
The pattern in this period will be evolving into a cold and very storm pattern. In this post I will naturally explain the step down into what will make a lot of individuals in the I-95 corridor very happy, if you like snow at least. Then I will touch upon my thoughts for the [...]

Another Blast Of Snow For The Interior

December 20th, 2008 by Steven DiMartino

6:35 AM
The set up that will be developing tonight through tomorrow does not support a wide spread snow storm for the forecast area and certainly not for locations along the coast. While almost the entire forecast area will see some snow, the snow will change over to rain along the coast. Why?
As I have [...]
