Summer-like conditions will return to the forecast area and will do so in a short period of time. That means that humid air and temperatures in the 80’s and possibly 90’s will return to the forecast area. When the hot summer conditions return, I’m willing to bet that the conditions will feel hotter and [...]

June has seen some very impressive rainfall amounts with many locations well over an inch above normal. Even some locations double the amount of normal rainfall. While a continuous onslaught of showers and thunderstorms have impacted much of the Mid Atlantic, and specifically the New York City and Philadelphia metropolitan areas, other locations have [...]

The visible satellite picture this morning shows us that once again, yet another weekend has been spoiled by wet, soggy conditions. However, I do have some good news for this afternoon.

The forecast for today through tonight is best described as significantly complicated and potentially very active. The main theme is basically the progression of the warm front currently over southwesterly Pennsylvania through eastern Virginia.

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 [...]

The one good aspect of El Nino this summer is that development of tropical systems continues to be inhibited by strong westerly shear and a lack of any organized disturbances. Strong westerly and southwesterly shear dominates the central and wester Caribbean and over the western Tropical Atlantic. The combination of a trough over northern [...]

Through this up coming week, the weather conditions will mirror more of late September rather than mid June as high pressure positions itself over Maine and several waves of low pressure passes to the south. Conditions like yesterday’s heavy rain event may develop for any particular afternoon where some clearing develops and mesoscale boundaries [...]

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 [...]

The theme for this summer, raw and cool, looks to continue as once again the forecast area is positioned north of a stationary front this morning. The forecast area is clearly under the influence of a marine air mass as an easterly wind fostered by high pressure over Maine and a stationary front over [...]
