NYC Area Forecast: Strong storms possible in Mid Atlantic today

/0 Comments/by

A strong cold front will approach the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states today, and the development of showers and thunderstorms, some strong, is expected near and ahead of the frontal boundary this afternoon. The strongest storms are likely to stay further south across the Mid-Atlantic states, where greater atmospheric instability exists. Nevertheless, strong wind shear aloft could promote strong wind gusts with any storms that do develop.

NYC Area Forecast: Active start to the week with multiple storms

/0 Comments/by

An active weather pattern, which has gripped the Central and Eastern United states over the past week, will continue into the early part of the week ahead. Multiple storm systems will impact the Northeast states, with the opportunity for heavy rainfall on Monday and then strong to severe thunderstorms a distinct possibility on Tuesday. Temperatures, meanwhile, will be running several degrees above average throughout a large majority of the area.

The pattern remains quite amplified across the country, and has been essentially since the weekend Nor’easter from 10 days ago – when flooding and onshore winds left the New Jersey and New York coasts battered. After a pleasant second half of the weekend, things will begin to take a turn for the worst on Monday morning, as another low pressure system develops near the coastal plain.

Winter Forecast 2018-2019

/2 Comments/by

Seasonal weather forecasting, especially when it comes to Winter, is one of the most challenging aspects of meteorology. It isn’t simply a guesstimate or an educated gamble. It is instead the product of months of research which typically begins several months prior. We’ve been piecing together ideas for this upcoming winter since Spring, and we’re excited to present our findings to you. In that respect, we are hopeful to break down the components of the forecast for you.

Instead of focusing on individual numerical indexes and values, we are going to try to paint a picture of the atmosphere and what it will be doing over the next few months – based on several global and hemispheric oscillations, conditions, and phenomena. This will lead us to the conclusions which we believe will be the guiding forces for us during the seasons ahead.
