Strong moisture advection off the Atlantic is supporting light to moderate rain along the coast and light snow over portions of Connecticut, the Hudson Valley, and northeastern Pennsylvania. The snow will continue to slowly accumulate over these locations as temperatures slowly fall into the upper 20’s to lower 30’s with accumulations of another 1 [...]

The coastal low off the Virginia/North Carolina coastal waters this morning continues to slowly exit to the east-northeast this morning. The coastal low actually has ended up slightly closer to the coast than expected, but is now moving into the Atlantic with diminishing impacts through the rest of the day. However, much of the [...]

Through this winter one of the major impacts that has significantly impacted snow fall totals is the development of mesoscale snow banding within the precipitation shield. The impact of such banding has produced staggering snowfall gradients throughout the region and has created significant impacts on many locations this winter.
Mesoscale banding can have several different [...]

The surface low that has brought a near historic 20.9 inches of snow in Central Park and over a foot in many locations throughout the northern Mid Atlantic is slowly weakening and exiting to the east.
The surface low is actually splitting into two separate low pressure systems, one which will eventually deepen once again [...]

The water vapor satellite picture shows the next upper level low that will bring snow to much of the northern Mid Atlantic. However, this time, the focus of the heaviest snowfall will be focused more towards the northwestern interior rather than the coastal plain.
Today through tomorrow afternoon, high pressure will move through the region. [...]

The northern Mid Atlantic is getting a bit of a breather from the active winter weather of the past week. After two major winter storms approaching blizzard conditions, impacted the region over the past seven days, high pressure is providing generally tranquil conditions.

The 00Z guidance confirmed my suspicion that the 12Z guidance was not handling the development of the 700 MB upper low correctly.
At this time,this storm is clearly going to have a major impact on the entire northern Mid Atlantic. While I likely will have to adjust some features on the snowfall map to the [...]
