The storm system about to cross the West Coast within the next 36 hours is likely to bring significant snow for the Sierra Nevada, Wasatch all the way to the Upper Midwest followed by potentially the coldest air of winter. This system will be a big rain and snow producer for California and Southwest. Here’s the latest GFS surface […]
I think it’s safe to say the late week storm misses the Northeast while a clipper-like feature pushes over the Great Lakes bringing snow showers and possible lake effect. The two systems don’t phase and so the Northeast can relax (for now) give or take flurries, perhaps a coating. Into next week and things get […]
It was a cold morning following one of the biggest East Coast snowstorms of all-time, particularly over the Mid-Atlantic to the west of DC up into south-central Pennsylvania where snow cover was deepest. Great shot captured from Clarksburg, MD yesterday. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The warming trend has already kicked in as temps even over the deep Eastern snowfields […]
Following the ridiculously warm but ‘forecasted’ December, January has seen winter return with an epic East Coast snowstorm which smashed records and brought DC and NYC’s 2nd biggest snowstorm in history. Let’s not forget December and how much of a blowtorch it was. The shift to colder came following Storm Frank’s northward injection of warmth into the arctic […]
UPDATED 40 inches now reported in West Virginia! Intense snow band that’s dumping an incredible 2-4, possibly 5 inches of snow per hour holds firm over DC-NY megalopolis. Cape Cod, MA now upgraded to a blizzard warning. Temps at or below freezing from northern North Carolina to Canada at noon today. Some dramatic snow images […]
Only once every so many years do you get a monster storm system like the one we’re seeing now that’s still in the developing stages but has dumped close to a foot of snow in parts of North Carolina already. A blizzard warning remains in effect from central Virginia up to southern New England including all big cities […]
A blizzard warning is now up for the DC area while watches are in place throughout the surrounding area including Baltimore and Philly. No real change in the forecast. I still believe the biggest snow totals (12-24″) out of the Major Cities is DC while 10-20″ focuses in Baltimore and Philadelphia and 6-12″ for New York City. The […]
There is little change in overall thinking with regards to the late week/weekend snowstorm. This is a textbook case of all the ingredients coming together and southern and northern branch energy converging and intensification of an intense, closed upper low right over or just south of Washington DC. Just look at the latest GFS 500mb chart and see how this […]
The major winter storm looks to be a precursor to what could be a wild and loaded winter pattern through February. No question, the system now spreading rain and snow across California, will push out into the Atlantic somewhere between Charleston, SC and NYC, most likely over the southern Delmarva. Once the system crosses the […]
In last night’s write up I briefly showed you the wild scenario the GFS had for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast late this week into the weekend and it’s pretty amazing at how both GFS and ECMWF are going to the extreme with a real blockbuster snowstorm, perhaps blizzard. Both models show much the same scenario […]
