High Impact Spring Snowstorm…

 

Synopsis:

A storm will continue to intensify today off the Mid-Atlantic coast. The latest computer models are in unison. A Spring snowstorm will occur. Wet snow and or rain will become more widespread during the morning hours. The brunt of the storm will be from late morning through late evening. At this time the storm will only very slowly move off our coast. The snow could come down at 1″-2″/hr at times. Whiteout conditions are possible with thunder snow. Unfortunately power outages and tree damage is once again possible.

A Winter Storm Warning has been posted for the entire area for the likelihood of 6″-12″ or more of snow. There will be a sharp cutoff to the heavy snow amounts to the North and Northwest (see map above).

The sun angle will play into the equation of how much snow will stick during the daylight hours (it has to snow at a very good rate for snow to accumulate during the day). Also, the big question is where do the heavy bands of snow setup as the rotate off the ocean. This will be another factor in what locations get high amounts of snow.

It will be windy with gusts up to 50mph at the coast. Coastal flooding is possible during the times of high tide today.

Please check in frequently to this site. A high impact event will occur today and tonight. Please keep it here for a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

High Impact Spring Snowstorm Wednesday…

 

Synopsis:

A storm will off the Mid-Atlantic coast tonight. A period of snow, sleet and or rain is possible through this evening mainly from the NYC vicinity and to the South. A slushy coating is possible in colder areas.

Additional energy in the jet stream diving South into the Carolina’s later tonight and Wednesday. A storm will form East of the Virginia coast by morning . The latest computer models are in unison. This storm will rapidly intensify and move to the Northeast just off the coast. Confidence continues to increase that a Spring Nor’easter will occur. Wet snow and or rain will develop during the morning hours. The morning commute will not be the worse of the two commutes. The evening commute will be hazardous and it will be dangerous to be outdoors. The brunt of the storm will be from midday through 9PM this is when bombogenesis will occur. During this time the snow could come down at 1″-3″/hr at times. Whiteout conditions are possible with thunder snow. Unfortunately power outages and tree damage is once again possible.

A Winter Storm Warning has been posted for the entire area for the likelihood of 6″-12″ or more of snow. There will be a sharp cutoff to the heavy snow amounts to the North and Northwest (see map above).

The sun angle will play into the equation of how much snow will stick during the daylight hours (it has to snow at a very good rate for snow to accumulate during the day).

It will be very windy with gusts up to 50mph at the coast. Coastal flooding is possible during the times of high tide Wednesday morning and evening.

Snow/Rain Threat South of City Today. High Impact Storm Wednesday…

 

Synopsis:

A developing storm will move out of the Tennessee Valley today and move off the Virginia coast and to the East Northeast and out to sea.  There remains a threat of a bit of snow or rain mainly to the South of the City this afternoon. There will be a sharp cutoff to the precipitation on the Northern edge. Where this cutoff sets up is still in question. Will it clip the City and vicinity or will it remain South? This will be a minor event as the heaviest precipitation stays well South. Also, the sun angle will play into the equation of how much snow will stick during the daylight hours (it has to snow at a very good rate for snow to accumulate during the day). The possible amounts are above by Tuesday night. This is for storm #1 and think the lower end of the those numbers.

A second storm will develop with additional energy in the jet stream diving South into the Carolina’s. The storm will form East of the Outer Banks on Wednesday. The latest computer models are in unison. This storm will rapidly intensify and move to the Northeast just off the coast. The potential continues to increase for a Nor’easter on Wednesday if the latest track verifies. Wet snow and or rain which could be heavy at times by midday. A Winter Storm Warning has been posted for the entire area with the exception of Eastern Suffolk county for the potential of 6″-12″ or more of snow. Gusty winds and coastal flooding is possible if this storm comes close enough to the region on Wednesday and Wednesday night. Power outages are possible along with additional tree damage.

In summary, there will be two separate storms. One that may clip parts of the area (mainly South) today the other that will have to be monitored closely for Wednesday and Wednesday night with a raging wet snowstorm possible. Please check in frequently to this site. A high impact event is likely Wednesday. Please keep it here for a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Early sun possible otherwise thickening clouds. Chance of rain, wet snow & sleet South of the City. Highs in the upper 30s to lower 40s. Northeast 10-15mph.

Snow/Rain Threat South of City Tuesday. Potential Nor’easter Wednesday…

 

Synopsis:

A developing storm will move out of the Tennessee Valley on tonight and Tuesday and move off the Virginia coast and to the East Northeast and out to sea.  There remains a threat of a bit of snow or rain mainly to the South of the City on Tuesday. There will be a sharp cutoff to the precipitation on the Northern edge. Where this cutoff sets up is still in question. Will it clip the City and vicinity or will it remain South?

Snow/Rain Threat South of City Tuesday. Watching Coastal Storm Wednesday…

 

Synopsis:

High pressure will continue to nose in from central Canada today. This will result in mainly sunny skies and below average temperatures. The average high for NYC is 51º.

The latest computer guidance has at least come so some sort of consensus for the first area of low pressure to affect parts of the area on Tuesday. A developing storm will move out of the Tennessee Valley on Monday and move off the Virginia coast and to the East Northeast and out to sea.  There remains a threat of a bit of snow or rain mainly to the South of the City on Tuesday. There will be a sharp cutoff to the precipitation on the Northern edge. Where this cutoff sets up is still in question. Will it clip the City and vicinity or will it remain South? An accumulating snow is possible if the heavier rates of snow occur, but it looks like this will be a minor event as the heaviest precipitation stays well South. Also, the sun angle will play into the equation of how much snow will stick during the daylight hours (it has to snow at a very good rate for snow to accumulate during the day). The possible amounts are above by Tuesday night. This is for storm #1 and think the lower end of the those numbers.

A second storm now looks to develop with additional energy in the jet stream diving South into the Carolina’s. The storm will form East of the Outer Banks on Wednesday. Will the upper level winds sharpen up enough to have this storm affect the area. The possibility has increased some. There is the potential for a period of wet snow and or rain with gusty winds and coastal flooding if this storm comes close enough on Wednesday and Wednesday night.

In summary, there will be two separate storms. One that may clip parts of the area (mainly South) on Tuesday the other that will have to be monitored closely for Wednesday and Wednesday night. Please check in frequently to this site. A shift to the West and a potential high impact event would occur. Please keep it here for a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 40s. Northwest winds at 5-10mph.

Tonight:

Clear. Breezy. Lows near 30º in the City, the teens & 20s inland. Northeast wind 5-10mph.

Tuesday:

Chance of rain, wet snow & sleet South of the City. Highs in the upper 30s to around 40º. Breezy.

Sunny Sunday. Snow/Rain Threat Tuesday. Watching Coastal Storm Wednesday…

 

Synopsis:

A persistent Northwesterly flow will continue resulting in colder than average temperatures right through the weekend. The culprit, a stationary storm in Eastern Canada and high pressure nosing in from central Canada. Sunny skies are expected for the last weekend of Winter (that sounded good). Winds will not be as busy.

The latest computer guidance is now converging on a scenario for this upcoming week in regards to areas of low pressure affecting the East coast. A developing storm will move out of the Tennessee Valley on Monday and move off the Virginia coast and to the Northeast on Tuesday- up and off our coast.  This increases the threat of snow, rain and sleet from NYC and to the South on Tuesday. There will be a sharp cutoff to the precipitation on the Northern edge. Where this cutoff sets up is still in question. Will it clip the City and vicinity or will it remain South? An accumulating snow is possible if the heavier rates of snow occur. Also, the sun angle will play into the equation of how much snow will stick during the daylight hours (it has to snow at a very good rate for snow to accumulate during the day).

A second storm now looks to develop with additional energy in the jet stream diving South into the Carolina’s. The storm will form East of the Outer Banks on Wednesday. Will the upper level winds sharpen up enough to have this storm affect the area. The possibility is slim at this point. Gusty winds and coastal flooding is a possibility with a persistent Northeast wind Tuesday through Thursday.

In summary, there will be two separate storms. One that may clip parts of the area (mainly South) on Tuesday the other that will have to be monitored closely. At this time the forecast is for the second storm to stay just offshore. But please check in frequently to this site. A shift to the West and a potential high impact event would occur. Please keep it here for a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Sunny. Highs in the mid 40s. Northwest winds at 8-12mph.

Tonight:

Clear. Breezy. Lows near freezing in the City, the 20s inland. North wind less than 5mph.

Monday:

Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 40s.

Tuesday:

Chance of rain, wet snow & sleet, especially from the City and to the South. Highs in the upper 30s to around 40º. Windy.

Wednesday:

Sun and clouds. Low potential of some snow and windier conditions. Highs in the lower 40s.

Tranquil, Bright Last Weekend of Winter. Eyes on Storm Next Week…

 

Synopsis:

A persistent Northwesterly flow will continue resulting in colder than average temperatures right through the weekend. The culprit, a stationary storm in Eastern Canada and high pressure nosing in from central Canada. Sunny skies are expected for the last weekend of Winter (that sounded good). Winds will not be as busy.

The threat of a storm affecting the area continues Tuesday and Wednesday, although the latest computer guidance has diminished that threat some. At this time it is too early to determine how much rain and or snow will fall.  The models do have an area of low pressure on the map over the Eastern states, but where does it go?  Where does the secondary redevelopment occur & does it stay just far enough South to spare the region?  These questions need to be answered.  Also, the sun angle will play into the equation of how much snow will stick during the daylight hours (it has to snow at a very good rate for snow to accumulate during the day). Strong winds and coastal flooding is also a possibility. At this time, be aware that the Tuesday into Wednesday time frame could be hazardous.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Sunny. Highs in the mid 40s. West to Northwest winds at 10-20mph.

Tonight:

Mostly clear. Breezy. Lows near 30º in the City, near 20º inland. Northwest winds diminishing to 5-10mph.

Sunday:

Sunny. Highs in the mid 40s.

Monday:

Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 40s.

Tuesday:

Thickening clouds. Chance of rain, wet snow & sleet. Highs in the upper 30s. Windy.

Wednesday:

Chance of rain, wet snow & sleet. Highs in the mid 30s. Windy

A low may affect the area Tuesday into Wednesday. At this time it is too early to determine how much rain and or snow will fall.  The models do have an area of low pressure on the map over the Eastern states, but where does it go? Where does the secondary redevelopment occur? These questions needed to be answered. Many days to watch this unfold.
