A complex forecast is setting up for the forecast area this morning into the afternoon hours as a strong disturbance generates a new low pressure system to the southwest of the forecast area this morning.
Currently, the precipitation on the radar would likely not indicate much of a rainfall event for the forecast area. The [...]

The latest visible satellite image clearly shows that fog has developed throughout much of the forecast area with dense fog advisories issued for much of the region. The dense fog has developed due to a combination of lingering low level moisture from a few showers early this morning and very light winds. The good [...]

The low pressure system that produce rainfall amounts ranging from a quarter to a half inch of rain has now exited the region. High pressure over the Ohio Valley is building into the Mid Atlantic, which will produce clear, warm, and dry conditions over the next 36 hours. However, trouble is brewing over the [...]

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.

A very dangerous situation is developing for parts of the forecast area that can lead to some significant icing over parts of the interior by Wednesday morning. These types of forecast can be tricky to forecast because the line between a heavy rain and over 0.25″ of ice is like walking a tight rope [...]

The new year is certainly starting off with a bang this year, unfortunately that does not mean snow for all.
The main theme through this period will be the changing Pacific and Atlantic patterns. The negative NAO block will begin to weaken, however already the ECMWF is backing away from the complete collapse idea and [...]

I’m sure everyone has seen the latest 12Z guidance. The GFS is having trouble with the upper level features and the ECMWF is beginning to strut it’s stuff in the type 3 to 7 day span of dominance of accuracy.
Do I believe the ECMWF, well to an extent yes. I don’t want to put [...]

The thermal gradient is really starting to produce some strong low level forcing (LLF) over the forecast area. The latest observations are in for 7 AM, and there is some striking developments here.
