High pressure takes control of the weather today in the Mid-Atlantic region and leads to a few days of dry and seasonably cold conditions. Temperatures should peak in the middle or upper 40’s for highs next few days with overnight lows in the upper 20’s to lower 30’s.
Read MoreIn the wake of the powerful storm system that brought us a lot of rainfall, winds will remain quite strong today with temperatures slightly below-normal and there can be a snow shower or two. High pressure builds in by tomorrow and the second half of the week should be dry and seasonably cold.
Read MoreThe remainder of this week and the upcoming weekend are likely to be seasonably cold-to-slightly below-normal in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US, but much of the rest of the nation should be warmer-than-normal. The return to seasonal cold in the Mid-Atlantic/NE US follows what has been a very mild few days that culminated with a major rainstorm up and down the eastern seaboard. There are signs that the overall pattern will change by later next week that can result in more sustained cold for the eastern and southern states. A look at some teleconnection indices tends to support the notion of a change in the pattern that would favor more colder-than-normal air for the eastern and southern US - and potentially, an increased chance for snow as well.
Read MoreRain winds down this morning and it becomes very windy on the back side of the departing powerhouse storm system that brought us a lot of rainfall. Winds can gust up to 50 mph from a northwesterly direction which can result in some downed tree limbs and possible. power outages. Temperatures will drop from early day highs in the 50’s to the 40’s for the bulk of the afternoon hours. There is a chance for scattered snow and/or rain showers tonight and on Tuesday and then high pressure takes over for a few days and temperatures will remain on the chilly side.
Read MoreLow pressure will slide into the central Gulf of Mexico region by tomorrow and an intensification process will begin there that will soon result in a powerhouse storm system. The intensifying storm system will impact the Florida Peninsula and other parts of the Southeast US on Saturday night and Sunday and then it pushes northward producing rain and wind throughout the eastern states from later Sunday into Monday. Some of the rain around here will become heavy at times with flash flooding a concern and winds will be strong. Along coastal sections, winds can become potentially damaging and beach erosion/coastal flooding will be on the table. There will be no cold air around initially in the Mid-Atlantic region when the storm hits, but colder air will likely pour in from the northwest by later Monday night and Tuesday.
Read MoreLow pressure will slide into the central Gulf of Mexico region by the early part of the weekend and an intensification process will begin there that will soon result in a powerhouse storm system. The intensifying storm system will impact the Florida Peninsula and other parts of the Southeast US on Saturday night and Sunday and then it pushes northward producing rain and wind throughout the eastern states from Sunday into Monday. The rain will be heavy all along the path of the storm and winds are very likely to reach damaging levels; especially, along coastal sections where 60+ mph gusts are possible...power outages are on the table up and down the coast. There will be no cold air around initially in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US when the storm hits; however, cold air will pour in from the northwest on Monday night and Tuesday raising the chance for a transition to some accumulating snow on the back end; especially, in “lake-effect” locations just downstream of Lakes Erie and Huron.
Read MoreIt’ll remain moderately cold again today after the passage of a weak cold front on Wednesday, but it does turn milder on Friday and the milder conditions should last through the upcoming weekend. Powerful low pressure is going to turn northward this weekend after pounding the Florida Peninsula and other sections of the SE US and push right on through the eastern states from south-to-north. This storm will produce lots of rain and wind around here from later Sunday into Monday. Some of the rain can be heavy and some of the winds can get very strong; especially, along coastal sections where beach erosion and flooding are on the table. Colder air pushes in on the back side of the storm by Tuesday, and there may be some lingering precipitation from what likely turns out to be a slow-moving storm system.
Read MoreLow pressure will slide across the southwestern states over the next couple of days and produce some significant snowfall in the higher elevations of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. By the early part Saturday, this system will have moved to the central Gulf of Mexico where intensification will begin to take place. By Saturday night and early Sunday, tropical storm-like conditions will develop across Florida including heavy rainfall and strong winds and other sections of the southeast US as well.
On Sunday, this powerful low pressure system will push northward up along the Atlantic seaboard and heavy rain and strong winds will likely develop in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US later Sunday and continue into the day on Monday. Cold air will be lacking in the northeastern states - at least initially – when the storm is likely to get underway so rain will be the dominate precipitation type at the start. However, a powerful storm system like this sitting near the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US coastline can certainly draw in enough cold air for a changeover to snow from later Monday into Tuesday; primarily, across higher elevation, inland locations from upstate New York to northern New England.
Read MoreIt’ll remain moderately cold today and the passage of a weak cold front will usher in a reinforcing chilly air mass for tonight and Thursday. It does turn milder on Friday and the milder conditions should last through the upcoming weekend. Strong low pressure is likely to turn up along the eastern seaboard this weekend and it could result in rain and wind around here from later Sunday into Monday.
Read MoreLow pressure will slide across the southwestern states over the next couple of days and likely produce some significant snowfall in the higher elevations of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. By the weekend, this system will move south and east into the Gulf of Mexico region and begin to intensify. Signs are increasing that at this point the storm will take a turn to the north and east, produce tropical storm-like conditions across Florida including heavy rainfall and strong winds and then likely ride right up near the eastern seaboard with heavy rain and strong winds on the table. Cold air will be lacking in the northeastern states - at least initially – when the storm is likely to hit so rain will be the dominate precipitation type at the start. However, a powerful storm system like this sitting near the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US coastline can certainly draw in enough cold air in this kind of setup for a changeover to snow in higher elevation, inland locations from upstate New York to northern New England.
