I saw posts last night from people still stuck in traffic in Vermont, when I had already gotten back to Long Island hours before, taking the scenic route, stopping multiple places along the way. I encountered zero traffic heading back down. Southbound I-89 in NH was Covid lockdown empty, which when coupled with the growing dimness from the eclipse became kind of eerie.

I know taking I-91 S there was a bad accident S of Brattleboro, but Waze routed us around it, once past that it was smooth sailing until Cross Island Pkwy got knocked down to 1 lane for paving around 10pm.  Should have taken Clearview to LIE instead of listening to Waze at that point but was exhausted from driving up that morning and back that evening/night.

65 already. Beautiful 

I'm 61 in Muttontown and 59 in Syosset currently.  You are off to the races like EWR!

why not Burlington?

My little ones had enough of the car, this is good enough 

Made it to Woodstock VT with the kids. 99% is good enough. Surprised we made it with time to spare. Enjoy the eclipse all.

Brutal opening day for little league. Howling winds and freezing 

It was brutal yesterday evening and this morning for it. My son’s team as least won one game. Tomorrow morning is 3rd game of weekend tournament at 8:45. Going to be another miserable day for baseball.

Earthquake??

We have had a generally warmer minimum temperature pattern over the last two weeks. But all the clouds, onshore flow, and rain have been keeping the maximums down. 
 

 

Overall departure not one of warmth, have to head to WV!

Looks like CSU is all in for a very active hurricane season:

Looks like we are on track for the latest first 80° day of the year following a 40° winter. Models continue the theme of onshore flow, clouds, and chances for rain from time to time through at least April 15th. We will have to be happy with the warmer days into the 60s and hopefully some 70s.

Not surprised, two weeks ago I posted a sustained warm pattern would wait until mid April. Hope that doesn’t get pushed off further, as this isn’t great spring weather currently.

Yea only 35mph  here. Seems like our area really missed the worst of the storm. However, did get a little over 2 inches of rain.

Seems it. I’m at 2.22” in Syosset & 2” in Muttontown so far.

Only 33mph so far at both my stations. Wind advisory would have been fine.

70’s next week

Maybe for inland locations perhaps, otherwise 60s it seems.

Highest wind gust on my stations is 33mph at Muttontown so far.

The only one (besides people who aren’t mets) who was hyping an I-95 corridor snowstorm for this week was JB. He was also suggesting that April, 1982 was a good match. Not surprising coming from him though. He’s been completely off the rails since November

I think he's been off the rails longer than that, but that's for an entirely different thread IMO.

A little surprised there’s no Flood Watch given the high water tables. Some models have 3”+ from this storm. Looks like another soaker.  

Rainfall rates not high enough for them to issue one I assume.  I'm sure we'll see a flood advisory issued with all the runoff though.

Huge Blizzard for DC northward next week. Get ready. 

I'm buying a shovel and salt 

Your obligatory 4/1 post?

Thankfully it looks like this week is the beginning of the end of this horrific pattern. My little cousin’s little league season starts on Saturday. Hoping for decent weather from here on out for them

It won't be good weather for little league this weekend, too cool.  I have at least 3 games for my son's travel baseball from Friday evening to Sunday morning, with more depending on how they do in tournament.  Wish the warmer weather for April 8th onward would start sooner.

In the end go west you'll rarely be wrong

Models seem to tick E 48hrs prior then the next day, 24hrs in, move back W.  Has been a common occurrence of late.

Latest from OKX:

EPS still is further W of op at 12Z:

I wonder if other models are showing similar.

As far as large scale features, what's going on-- is there a stalled front with a low moving along it?

wow I have to get used to these maps lol, when I see so much plain white my immediate thought is clear skies.  Did this one actually get cloudier than the previous run?

From 6Z to 12Z runs, yes.  Again this is so far out you could flip a coin, but just showing what the GFS is forecasting way out there.
