New Years Storm

*Heavy snow possible in Eastern New England/Maine*

Not ready for a full update yet, but I do want to remind everyone that New Years Eve/New Years Day is going to get dicey weather-wise. Keep that in mind when making plans...

I will probably have a full update later tonight or tomorrow, but this has potential to be quite a memorable storm in ENE/NNE.

Dec. 29th Clipper Map

Had to cut back on amounts as the models have trended north with heaviest QPF.

Dec. 29th Clipper Forecast

*A solid advisory-level snow event north of the Mass. Pike in New England Tuesday night/Little for the Mid Atlantic*

A clipper coming down from Canada will enter the northeast Tuesday night, bringing with it some plowable snow for a good chunk of New England. Usually, clippers are moisture starved and generally produce snow in the 1-3'' range. However, that's not quite the case with this one. As it reaches New England, it's going to intensify (not a Miller B as no secondary is formed). Because of this, it should be able to throw down some decent QPF amounts in central and northern New England. I'm expecting snow for the interior, though areas closer to the coast will probably mix as temps in the BL are relatively marginal.

No map yet, but I'm thinking 1-2'' south of the Pike, 2-5''+ north (some areas may see a spot 6'' amount), and 1-2'' in far Northern New England and northern Maine. Mixing and rain near the coasts.

A larger storm is looming after New Years day (so your New Years Eve plans should be fine), and the potential is there for it to be quite a storm...however, it's a week or so away, and obviously there are a lot of things that could go wrong at this point. More on that as we get closer...

MLB Home Run Derby and All Star Game Forecasts

Hey all, figured I'd update the blog with some info the the MLB festivities that will happen over the next two days at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri.

Both days (Monday, HR Derby, and Tuesday, All Star Game) look to be warm and dry, with temperatures in the upper 70s to lower 80s. There will be some precipitation to the south of St. Louis, but it will stay south of the area throughout both days. What affected the MLB Futures Game today will be long gone by tomorrow. With warm temps and moderate dewpoints, the ball should be able to carry well so the Home Run Derby could be a memorable one.

Enjoy the games!

June 30 Severe Weather

Saint Patrick's Day

High pressure will be in control and it'll keep most areas dry and sunny except for the slight chance of a morning shower around central PA and SW NY. I think those will be pretty isolated and early enough so they shouldn't hinder any plans.

Here's the map:
Hope you all have a great day - the weather will cooperate!

Finally An Update

It's been a while since I've updated this...I forgot all about it. Anyway, I'm going to try and keep this updated on a more regular basis now as winter is ending and spring is beginning.

You can't call off winter yet, but I'm thinking that the potential for any more snowstorms is dwindling each day. There are some long shots on the long range models, but chances are they won't come to fruition. It's not easy to get snow in late March, and unless things set up perfectly it'd be more than likely a rain or mix. We still have to keep our eyes on the long range models, but I think that we're coming to the end of snow season.

We'll see some possible showery weather south of New England during the day tomorrow, but I don't think that there will be much steady or heavy rain - some places may even stay completely dry. Other than that, it's looking dry and seasonal for a while, including St. Patrick's Day which I'll have a more in depth forecast on later.

Have a nice weekend!
