Saturday Briefing: Heavy Rainfall Likely Tonight and Sunday

February 10, 2018/1 Comment/by Miguel Pierre

Good morning, friends! You may have noticed it’s a bit warmer outside – and you are correct, as temperatures have warmed in advance of an approaching storm system in the Northeast states. Temperatures will remain mild for much of the weekend as a southwest flow develops ahead of an approaching cold frontal boundary, with highs reaching into the 50’s in many areas (Away from the high elevations). With this gift will come a curse, as warm air advection ushers in increasing moisture and approaching lift in the atmosphere the that will bring an increasing potential for heavy rain by Saturday afternoon.

AM All Zones Update: Major Snowstorm Underway for Much of the Region

February 9, 2017/by Miguel Pierre

An area of snow, sleet and rain overspread the region overnight. Precipitation started as some sleet and rain in some areas, because temperatures at the surface and aloft were warmer. But as low pressure strengthens near the Delmarva coast, the airmass will be turning colder with increasing northerly winds this morning. This cause precipitation will changeover to snow in all areas by 8am. It has already changed over to all snow from C NJ and north as of 7am.

Then snow will be moderate to heavy at times for rest of this morning through the region. Temperatures will be dropping into the 20s. So this snow will begin accumulate more rapidly on roadways this morning and reducing visibilities.
