Scattered Snow Squalls This Afternoon. Bitter Cold to Follow…

 

Synopsis:

A polar vortex (frigid rotating airmass) will move from the Great Lakes today and into the Northeast Thursday. This airmass will be bitterly cold. An Arctic front will work in this afternoon. Scattered snow squalls are possible. Any squall can drop a quick inch of snow within minutes accompanied by gusty winds and low visibility. Please be aware it can go from sunny to a whiteout within moments from Noon to 6PM Today. Winds could gust between 40-50mph.

A bitter blast will once again grip the area on tonight through Friday as the polar vortex pushes it’s Arctic grip on the tri-state area. Readings will approach 0º along the coast tonight (2nd map above)  & Thursday morning. Inland readings will be below zero. Wind Chills will reach -15º along the coast to -25º inland (last map above). This is life threatening cold. Please dress in layers as that tends to deaden the air in between the layers and in turn keep you warm.

The airmass will slowly moderate as high pressure works in from the West for the weekend. Skies will be mainly sunny. By Sunday it’ll feel like a heatwave!

You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Quick Hitting Snow This Evening. Snow Squalls Wednesday Aftn…

 

Synopsis:

A quick hitting period of snow is likely this evening into early tonight with developing low pressure and a front moving through the region. By the coast any rain will go over to snow. Accumulations are likely, mainly to the North and West of the City where a few to several inches may fall-possible snow amounts graphic is above. The areas in white will be mostly confined to the lower end of the range. The coast won’t see much in the way of accumulation. The storm won’t get it’s act together until it’s well to the North and East of the area. The snow will last for a few hours and end from West to East from later this evening West to after midnight over Eastern sections.

A polar vortex (frigid rotating airmass) will swing out of Canada and move to the Great Lakes Wednesday. This airmass will be bitterly cold. An Arctic front will work in midday Wednesday into the afternoon. Scattered snow squalls are possible. Any squall can drop a quick inch of snow within minutes accompanied by gusty winds and low visibility. Please be aware it can go from sunny to a whiteout within moments from Noon to 4PM Wednesday.

A bitter blast will once again grip the area on Wednesday through Friday as the polar vortex pushes it’s Arctic grip on the tri-state area. Readings will approach 0º along the coast Thursday morning. Inland readings will be below zero.

More Seasonal Today…

 

Synopsis:

Today will be dry and chilly as high pressure over Eastern Canada supplies the region with seasonal readings under a mix of sun and clouds.

A polar vortex (frigid rotating airmass) will swing out of Canada and move to the Great Lakes tomorrow and Wednesday. This airmass will be bitterly cold. The upper level winds will be traveling at a very high speed and a good bit of energy will swing through the area. Rain and snow showers are in the forecast for Tuesday afternoon. A  period of snow is possible Tuesday night with the developing low pressure and a front moving through the region. Accumulations are possible, mainly to the North and West of the City where a few to several inches may fall-possible snow amounts graphic is above. The coast won’t see much in the way of accumulation. The storm won’t get it’s act together until it’s well to the North and East of the area.

A bitter blast will once again grip the area on Wednesday and Thursday as the polar vortex pushes it’s Arctic grip on the tri-state area. Temperatures maybe as cold or even a tad colder the MLK’s frigid readings.

Milder, Despite Limited Sunshine…

 

Synopsis:

High pressure will move off the coast today. Readings will be several degrees above the average high of 37º. Clouds will dominate as a cold front approaches the area.

Monday will be dry and chilly. A polar vortex will swing out of Canada and move to the Great Lakes Tuesday and Wednesday.  This airmass will be bitterly cold.  The latest computer guidance suggests that the upper levels winds will be traveling at a very high speed, so even though a good bit of energy will swing through the area, precipitation looks to be limited for later Tuesday and Tuesday night.  A storm won’t get it’s act together until it’s well to the North and East of the area. At this time rain and snow showers are in the forecast for later Tuesday. A period of light snow is possible Tuesday night. Minor accumulations are possible, mainly to the North and West of the City.

A bitter blast will once again grip the area on Wednesday and Thursday as the polar vortex pushes it’s Arctic grip on the tri-state area. Temperatures maybe as cold or even a tad colder the MLK’s frigid readings.

Rain Moves Out by Late Day. Flooding Continues. Dry Friday…

 

Synopsis:

The storm that gave the area between 1″-2.5″ of rain is moving into New England this evening. The rain will taper off later this afternoon and early evening. The runoff from the deluge will result in ponding of water on streets and highways. Streams and rivers are near bankfull and some waterways are flooding . If you encounter a flooded roadway- TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN.

There are signs in the long range (Tuesday-Wednesday) that a storm may develop with a deep trough in the East.

Much Milder. Spotty Showers. Heavy Rain Thursday AM…

 

Synopsis:

A January thaw will be with us through tomorrow. A Southerly wind will bring up milder air, but we’ll have to pay a bit of a price with wet weather moving in. A few glimpses of sunshine will give way to thinking clouds today. A front will move toward the area from the West increasing the threat of spotty showers later in the day (much of the day will be dry). A low will develop along that front over the Virginia Piedmont tonight and Thursday. This will cause the rain to become steadier and heavier. A Flood Watch has been posted for Thursday. One to two inches of rain is possible. The ground is saturated and frozen, this will cause the water to run off immediately resulting in possible flooding. Highs today will be in the mid 40s. By Thursday readings will reach into the 50s.

It’ll turn more seasonal on Friday as we dry out. The weekend will be cold under a mix of sun and clouds as high pressure dominates. There are signs in the long range (Mon-Tuesday) that a storm may develop with a deep trough in the East. Where it develops along that trough and how it affects are weather remains to be seen.

You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Mostly cloudy and much milder. Chance of spotty afternoon showers. Highs in the mid 40s. Southwest winds at 5-10mph.

Any sunshine on Wednesday will give way to thinking clouds. A front will move our way from the West increasing the threat of spotty showers later in the day. A low will develop along that front over the Virginia Piedmont Wednesday night and Thursday. This will cause the rain to become steadier and heavier. Highs on Wednesday will be in the mid 40s.
