Synopsis:

Spring has sprung! The Vernal Equinox occurred yesterday at 5:24pm EDT. This was the exact moment when the sun’s direct rays were over the equator on it’s way Northbound.

Much of this upcoming week will make most smile as high pressure begins to modify. Strong March sun and lack of cold air in the East will attribute to our nice Spring start. A warm front will approach from the South on Thursday with more clouds and just the chance of a few showers-it’ll be unseasonably warm.

The threat of showers is in the forecast for Friday as cool front may get hung up over the region. Friday’s forecast could turn out for the better.

On Saturday Low pressure will develop over the Ohio Valley with a secondary low most likely develop near our region. Showers are likely with readings below the average high of 51º.

Stay tuned.

Synopsis:

An intensifying offshore storm will continue to affect the region through today. The lack of Arctic high pressure will be one of the several reasons this will not be a significant snow for the Southern 2/3rd’s of the region.

The upper levels (jet stream level) will have a deepening cutoff low that will move from Southern NJ this morning to East of Long Island by this evening. . This will do two things: Strengthen the first surface low and also bring down colder air from the upper levels of the atmosphere. The second low over Eastern low over Eastern Long Island will consolidate with the main storm. The ocean storm will move onshore over Eastern Massachusetts and do a loop then move back over the Atlantic.

There will be intermittent snow throughout today from all of these systems. Our region is on the Southwest side of the snow bands- the backside of the storm if you will. Since the storm will be consolidating and slowing down the on and off snow will last into this evening. Some of it will come down light at other times it may come down at a fairly good clip.  These total snow amounts will be elevation driven. If you live in a county with drastic changes in elevation within a couple of miles that will result in the difference of a couple of inches of snow. Pavement and concrete surfaces will have a significantly lower slushier amount or none at all.

The winds will also pick up out of the Northwest and gust to over 40mph at times.

Any evening snow will taper off and end. Skies will become partly cloudy overnight and the winds will be strong.

Wednesday the sun will dominate and winds will continue to be busy as the storm moves farther out to sea.

Thursday will be more tranquil, bright and mild as high pressure works in.

The luck of the Irish will be around on St. Patrick’s. A mix of sun and clouds are expected with Springtime readings.

A few morning showers are expected on Saturday, otherwise the sun will return with above average readings.

Stay tuned. Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.

Synopsis:

The highly advertised storm is on the map for today and Tuesday as low pressure develops off the coast of Virginia. The potential track of the storm is above. The latest guidance has the storm a bit farther to the East. The first part of the storm is straight forward. There isn’t a cold high to supply the cold air for the start of the event. For this reason, rain will develop and not snow for today for much of the region. Well to the North wet snow or a mix is likely.

Now, this is where the fun part begins (for meteorologists anyway) for Monday night and Tuesday. The upper levels (jet stream level) will have a deepening cutoff low that will slide Southeast from the Great Lakes to NJ. At the same time surface low pressure will strengthen rapidly off the Virginia coast and move to just to the East of the classic bench mark of 40º North Latitude, 70º West Longitude, South East of Montauk Point Long Island. All the models have the storm coming to a halt then doing a loop near Cape Cod.

A second low looks to develop near the NYC vicinity and then traverse East across Long Island with the upper level cutoff. Depending on where this exactly happens will determine the Western extent of the heavy snow band that will accompany the backside of the storm into NJ and NY State. This is known as the deformation zone. The area of heavy snow. Where the two enhanced areas of heavy snow set up to the the North and West of both surfaces storms will mean all the difference in snow amounts. A full fledge snowstorm is likely where this bands sit. The latest models have moved the sharp cutoff of precipitation to the Northeast. This would most likely result in not much snow accumulation in the City, Long Island and much of the stretch of the 1-95 corridor through NJ. Potential snow amounts above. The last two maps is what JMW is leaning towards.

In summary, the potential has increased for a snowstorm North of NYC. It has become clearer that the sharp cutoff of heavy precipitation will be moved 20 to 30 miles to the Northeast drastically keeping snow amounts quite low. Winds will increase Tuesday as the two storms combine and bomb near Cape Cod.

Wednesday will be bright but windy. Thursday the sun will dominate and winds will abate.

St. Patrick’s day will  be very mild under a mix of sun and clouds.

Stay tuned. Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
