7:00 AM | *A warm day to start off the new work week*

Paul Dorian

High pressure builds into the region later today following the passage of a cool front which will be close enough that it can still spark an isolated shower or two. A series of frontal systems and low pressure areas will impact the region during the second half of the week with the threat of showers from time-to-time.

6:45 AM | **Still the threat of showers around here today and there can be a thunderstorm mixed in...any thunderstorm can generate small hail**

Paul Dorian

A strong cold front will slide through the region this morning and then a second one late today/early tonight. As a result, the threat of showers will continue around here right into the evening hours and there can be a thunderstorm or two mixed into the picture...any thunderstorm today can generate some small hail. It’ll turn noticeably cooler later tonight following the passage of the second front and the weekend will start off on the cool, windy side as high pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region. It turns milder on Sunday, but remains unsettled with the threat of late day and nighttime showers as low pressure heads to our north.

7:00 AM | **Cold front approaches later today with numerous PM showers, maybe a thunderstorm...rain/thunderstorm threat continues on Friday...some of the rain will be heavy**

Paul Dorian

A strong cold front will head in this direction later today and it is going to generate numerous showers around here and maybe a thunderstorm or two. The threat of rain and thunderstorms will continue on Friday, some of the rain will be heavy at times during the next 36 hours, and any thunderstorm can generate small hail. It’ll turn noticeably cooler later tomorrow night following the passage of the cold front and the weekend will start off on the cool, windy side as high pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region. It turns warmer early next week with 70 degrees possible for highs by Monday afternoon.

7:00 AM | *The threat of showers returns to the NYC metro region for the second half of the week*

Paul Dorian

Yesterday turned out to be a very warm day in the Mid-Atlantic region with many areas flirting with the 80 degree mark for afternoon highs. Today will be cooler in the NYC metro region as a southeasterly low-level flow develops and afternoon temperatures are likely to peak near the 60 degree mark. A strong cold front heads this way later Thursday and this system is likely to generate numerous showers around here, maybe a thunderstorm, and some of the rain can heavy at times into the day on Friday. High pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region for the upcoming weekend.

Monday, April 8th, 2024 - *Eclipse times in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor*

Paul Dorian

Eclipse times, peak percentage:

Philly 2:08 pm to 4:35 pm (90%)

DC 2:04 pm to 4:32 pm (89%)

NYC 2:10 pm to 4:36 pm (90%)

A mix of sun and clouds today as a warm front advances from southwest-to-northeast across the western Mid-Atlantic region. Looking at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed Sun through dark sunglasses or any other unapproved filter is a recipe for serious and potentially permanent eye injury (i.e., do not use regular sunglasses).

6:30 AM - *Slow improvement next few days as large low pressure system gradually pushes away*

Paul Dorian

A large low pressure system that has been plaguing us for the past few days will slowly push away from the Northeast US and the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region will slowly improve during the next few days. It remains breezy and chilly today with the chance for a few showers, but likely dry and cool on Saturday, and then dry and milder on Sunday with plenty of sun to close out the weekend. High pressure will be in general control of the weather here during the early part of next week and the warming trend will continue.

7:00 AM | **Another unsettled day in the Mid-Atlantic with occasional showers**

Paul Dorian

Another active weather day is coming to the region with the threat of showers mainly during the PM shower. Any heavier shower later today can generate small hail (ice pellets) due to a cold upper atmosphere. It stays somewhat unsettled on Friday with lots of clouds and a couple of showers are still possible. Quieter and milder weather returns to the region later in the weekend.

7:00 AM | **More rain today, tonight and Thursday and some of it heavy...a thunderstorm or two possible along the way...hail (ice pellets) or graupel (snow pellets) can be mixed in at times**

Paul Dorian

There has been rain, heavy at times, during the past couple of days and there will be rain, heavy at times, during the next couple of days…watch out for localized flooding. There are a couple of differences, however, in overall atmospheric conditions that will have an impact today, tonight and tomorrow. First, the overall atmosphere becomes some what more unstable later today leading to an increasing wind compared to earlier in the week and an also an increased chance for a strong thunderstorm. In addition, the overall atmosphere will become colder later today and tonight and this will allow for an increased chance of hail (ice pellets) or graupel (snow pellets) during any heavier shower or thunderstorm right through tomorrow. The weather remains somewhat unsettled on Friday and it takes until later in the weekend to finally settle down to quieter and milder conditions.

Tuesday 02 April 2024 - **A strong and dynamic spring storm system impacts a large part of the nation next few days...severe weather in its warm sector…significant accumulating snow up north**

Paul Dorian

A double-barreled storm system will impact a large part of the nation from today through Thursday with an initial (primary) low located over the Upper Midwest and a secondary is to form later tomorrow near the Mid-Atlantic coastline. The initial system is producing severe weather today across the Ohio Valley and there are waves of heavy rain running all along the “I-80” states from Illinois-to-Pennsylvania with “flash flood watches and warnings” issued in most areas. The severe weather threat will shift to the east on Wednesday raising the chances for strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity in the southern Mid-Atlantic and eastern Carolinas.

Farther north, it is cold enough for accumulating snow today across portions of Minnesota and Wisconsin and some spots will get dumped on over the next 24 hours. The accumulating snow threat will shift a bit to the east to Michigan by later tonight and perhaps to the south on Wednesday into Iowa and Illinois. Once the secondary storm gets going near the east coast later tomorrow, the accumulating snow threat will shift from the Upper Midwest to the interior Northeast US and some spots in interior New York State and New England will get dumped on by the time Thursday evening rolls around.

7:00 AM | **Chilly with occasional rain around here right into Thursday...maybe a thunderstorm or two along the way**

Paul Dorian

An ugly stretch of weather continues in the NYC metro region with chilly conditions and periods of rain expected right into Thursday and some of the rain will be heavy at times. In addition, a couple of thunderstorms can mix into the picture as we go through the next few days. As low pressure intensifies off the New England coastline, enough cold air may push in late Wednesday night and Thursday to see snowflakes mix in with the rain in parts of the local area. Farther north, accumulating snow is likely during the mid-week across upstate NY and interior New England keeping the ski season alive and well up there for the foreseeable future. The weather here remains on the chilly and unsettled side on Friday and then it quiets down this weekend and turns slightly milder.
