  1. My station out at Fire Island popped up to the 40s earlier. Since 2:00 PM when the wind subsided and backed around from SW to W the air temperature has dropped 6 degrees to 36 and the DP down 4 degrees to 31. No big ocean warming looks to happen at this point.
  2. I saw one of these gradient type events two years ago with the I78 death band. Four miles separated 6” amounts from 10” amounts. You cannot underestimate these gradient events.
  3. Stations right along the south shore of LI have just seen a jump in temperatures to the mid 30s along with a wind shift to the south. Not sure how this plays into some of the forecasts calling for precipitation starting as rain in immediate coastal areas.
  4. 500 mb chart. Shows the expected location of the jet streams and disturbances within.
  5. Light to moderate snow falling. It’s a pretty scene here currently. Sticking to all surfaces. Globals and the NAM FTW on this one.
  6. Interesting. I am in Bethlehem Twp and it’s snowing steadily with a coating on the ground.
  7. Check out the current feed on the traffic cams along 78 west of Allentown. It’s precipitating only it’s not rain.
  8. Current observation at Wakefield is Heavy Snow with 1/4 mile visibility. They have a WSW with expected totals between 3-6”. Looks like the corridor between Richmond and Newport News gets the JP.
  9. I just saw that on traffic cams in the area between Allentown and Reading. Precip looks like a mix of snow and sleet in that area. I have a snow/sleet mix here (Bethlehem Twp.) after a brief transition to sleet. Surface temps are going nowhere (29/27). Roads will be quite nasty.
  10. That’s WAA for you. Usually arrives sooner than later. As I type this I see we have just gone over to sleet.
  11. Steady light snow in Bethlehem Twp. Watching that mixed precipitation/rain line to my south. Figuring we should transition within an hour or so.
  12. Snow is still off to my west. The leading edge is about 15-20 miles west of Allentown. Where it’s falling it’s coming down hard. I am envisioning it will come in here like a wall based upon what I am seeing from traffic cams.
  13. Temperatures along the south shore of LI are in the mid 30s currently. Once the winds back around to the SE with the approach of surface low pressure this milder air mass from the ocean will come surging inland. Yesterday’s high pressure area is moving away rapidly so there is nothing in the atmosphere to prevent this warm up today.
  14. My weather station on Fire Island has seen the temperature jump from 37 to 44 in the past 45 minutes. Winds have shifted from ENE to ESE. Bottom line is the stage is set for rapid warming in the boundary layer for coastal areas this morning.
