On day in 2005, the weather was at the most volatile point all season, October, month of the great Hurricane Wilma 2005. I had a dream that would spark a journey I have been on for the last fourteen years. In this dream, I saw the catastrophic end to humanity. Whether or not it was a premonition or just simply a basic dream for a developing weather enthusiast in his adolescence, I don't know, but it sparked a creative monster within myself. Struggling with family problems that latter turned
The image I will share is the storm and the dynamics associated with the storm potential for tomorrow and the evolution that could help determine a blizzard or a near miss for the Cape and Islands. AS the pressure drops in the low, the intensity and the pressure drop will help determine where the heaviest snows occur northwest of the low's track at the height of the pressure drops. If the storm blows up and deepens 15mb/6-12 hour period, just northwest of that low track will determine the heav
The latest cycle of the 12z model set has led to a high and very large uncertainty for forecasting SE MA and RI weather for Monday night into Tuesday afternoon. The cycle was spilt down the middle, one side shows a potential major impact of snow and wind for the area then, but the other set as the secondary low taking off to far east and southeast and has a very little impact on the area for snow. Right now, there is a less than 40% forecast confidence in any direction. This is very poor for
Final Snow Map issued. Round 2 has a lot of evolution questions right now and is not smart to try and determine what happens there. long duration Nor'easter. Dangerous weather impacts likely ahead.
Tonight's update shows that a cold rain looks likely for most of the Cape and Islands for Sunday night into Monday night and Tuesday. I am sorry for those snow lovers on Cape Cod, this is not our storm. There are still plenty of questions on the second part of the nor'easter, it seems like it could bring accumulating snows to the area later Monday night into Tuesday if the air mass is cold enough.
Models are showing a colder solution envelope in latest runs today, this could be temporary until the short range models get involved. My initial map is a warmer solution for the coastline. My thoughts are bound to change though, so this is the preliminary map issued.
Yes, the western part of Marquette county, MI could see snowfall amounts of over 24" and some numbers as high as 40" of snow in the next 72 hours will likely fall over the region. A major blizzard combined with an arctic air outbreak of northeasterly winds over Lake Superior could combine to produce 3 feet or more of snow. This is a major snow event for this time of year.
Snowstorm threat has become slightly enhanced the last few cycles. 06z GFS went from .5" of QPF as snow next weekend to 1.7" of QPF as snow for the 18z GFS run. The storm track is slowly becoming suppressed on the GFS, while the other models are spilt apart in their potential solutions. We are still under six days away, and just over five days away from the impacts of the storm. The first upper level vortexes are moving through by Wednesday with some mix of snow and rain showers. SNE will s
Today's 12z model runs showed a good sign that tomorrow's potent storm system might spare the game weather tomorrow for the Patriots and Cowboys meeting. Given the 20z game time kickoff they could be spared the heaviest rains and a few showers might move through after the final horn. Game temps will be raw, and nasty outside, cloudy and maybe misting. 40s for temps.
Dallas Cowboys at New England Patriots 4:25 p.m. EST time on Sunday, November 24th, 2019 could feature a rather nasty weather day for football. The game is going to be played at Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA. A major coastal storm looks to track just west of the I95 corridor Saturday evening into Sunday night and could bring rather cool, rainy and windy weather. Raw weather with temps in the mid-to-upper 40s.
For the next several weeks we will have an increased risk for coastal impacts from several coastal and ocean storms. Coastal flooding, high waves, rain, winds and beach erosion will be the main impacts, with chances for snow/ice and mixed precip further west in western New England. Stay tuned, rain for now, it is not a guarantee.
I have drawn a graphic illustrating the next few weeks of the weather pattern across North America. The northern hemisphere will favor a regime towards an evolving combination pattern of a -NAO/-AO/+PNA. The red in the picture represents the presence of ridging in the mid-upper levels and the blue represents the troughing areas of low pressure in the mid to upper levels. The ridging over western CONUS and eastern PAC ocean along with ridging across AK, to northwestern Canada northeastward to
From HYA eastward snow becomes enhanced by northerly surface winds and brings some snow accumulations to the region from Hyannis to Provincetown tonight after 6 pm EST. Models show some accumulation, maybe about 1-2" of snow.
Today we will experience extreme weather at its finest. Severe flash freeze is setting up to enter the region as soon as later this morning, when temperatures sweep west to east with a 20-30F temperature change in the next 18-20 hours. It will happen suddenly with the change of the winds vector. AS the warm balmy 50+ degree southwesterly winds will change to a violent northwest cold dry bone chilling cold arctic air howling over 30mph. Rain will change to snow and temps will bottom out in th
Surface temperatures in the Deep South, Northeast, and the Southeast will lie between the low 60s to low 40s. Temperatures in the lower troposphere will lie in the high 50s to low 30s tomorrow. Colder temperatures will lie in the high single digits anf high teens at 850mb. This pressure level plays an important role in weather forecasting. Low level stratiform clouds will form over portions of the upper MI valley where elevated snow will occur. Also moisture content in this atmosphere will be mo
Strong anomalously cold air heading towards the CONUS, eastern 2/3rds, east of the Rockies,
Very warm air across SW CONUS, including the states of CA, NV and NM.
Fire dangers will continue for the areas impacted to this date.
Very little mountain snow/rain for CA, OR and WA.
MT to Great Lakes and Northeastern US will see above normal snowfall, perhaps quite intense snowfalls in the coming weeks
November will bring snow and cold for most of the eastern CONUS
Alaska
While models decide their differences in the next day or so with the incoming precipitation threats, the one thing the pattern is adjusting to show is the appearance of arctic air masses invading the Northern 2/3rds of the CONUS. While large sustained +PNA is present, we will be getting some major league arctic air invading our region and the eastern 1/3rd of the country. While CA and the SW US bakes in record heat and fire weather, the MS Valley eastward will be experiencing the first cold wi
It is becoming increasingly clear, that the models are showing more confidence in an interior New England, mainly northwestern New England snowfall is going to happen later Thursday into Friday morning. The quick nature of the system, what the weather world calls a progressive storm, is something that won't be spectacular by any stretch of the imagination, but could have some moderate travel impacts where it does indeed snow and accumulate. The one thing that is blatantly obvious in the weathe
Models are still undecided on the details as well as the synoptic scale pattern evolving the next 4-5 days across the Northeastern US. Residents should watch the evolving forecasts the next 36 hours across the area, but should not be alarmed, especially southeast of I-95 corridor.
