Tropical Weather Update for Tuesday, June 23 2009

6:55 AM
Minor development of a disturbance has eyes drawn to the Gulf of Mexico this morning.  While much of the Atlantic remains dominated by strong west and southwesterly shear due to a deep trough over the western Atlantic, a minor disturbance is showing some signs of organization in the western Gulf of Mexico.  
The disturbance [...]

Tropical Weather Update for Monday, June 22 2009

6:51 AM
No tropical development has been observed this morning and none is likely for at least the next 48 hours.  Strong shear associated with a deep trough over the central Caribbean and over the western Atlantic is inhibiting any form of development from the Caribbean to the African coast and will likely continue to do [...]

What has caused the heavy rainfall this month?

9:52 AM
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 [...]

Heavy rain and severe weather a significant threat

7:30 AM
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.  I want to start with the fact that the surface low pressure system is further north and weaker than forecasted [...]

A break in the wet weather today, but more rain on the way

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 [...]

Another rainy day for the region

7:39 AM
A clash of air masses is unfolding right over the forecast area as the marine air mass that has been over the forecast area the past several days slowly is eroded from the region and off the coast.  The latest surface map best describes the current situation.  High pressure remains off the New England [...]

High pressure gives way as rain is on the way

7:27 AM
The pleasant weather conditions from yesterday are about to come to an end.  So is my confidence in model guidance, by the way.  However, before I get to that, let’s take a look at the precipitation that is charging towards the forecast area. 
High pressure currently centered over eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island, will continue [...]

Drier weather returns to the forecast area

7:58 AM
The rainy pattern that much of the forecast area has experienced this June is taking a short break, as high pressure positions itself over Maine this morning.  The position of the high pressure system will still force a marine air mass in place over the region, which is supporting the low clouds this morning. [...]

Tropical Weather Update for Tuesday, June 16 2009

7:32 AM
This morning over the Tropical Atlantic, a strong upper low northeast of the Leeward Islands is producing strong southwesterly shear from the eastern Caribbean through the central tropical Atlantic.  This shear is and will continue to inhibit any type of development for the next 48 hours.  
However, wind shear has weakened considerably over the [...]

Threat for showers continues through the week

7:18 AM
Another disturbance is dropping south through the Hudson Valley, Connecticut, and Long Island Sound this morning with a round of heavy rain this morning.  This disturbance will continue to drop south and east and will exit the forecast area over the next 2 to 3 hours, impacting much of Connecticut and Long Island rush hour [...]
