Watch out Northeast, there’s a storm brewing

April 2, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, National Weather Service, New England, New York City Metro Area, Northeast, rain showers, severe weatherLeave a comment

Over the next one or two weeks there is the possibility for a lot, and we mean a lot of rain and thunderstorms to arrive in the Northeast.

First, we would like to talk about the current rain and thunderstorms in the parts of the Northeast, especially Pennsylvania and New York. The current storms rolling across the two Northeast states are bringing with them some lightning, hail, and localized flooding. These same storms are expected to arrive in most of New England and eastern parts of the Mid Atlantic by tomorrow night, less severe, but will still bring a lot of rain to these areas. Watch out for some flooded roadways, including and especially underpasses and some tunnels with poor drainage. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH THESE ROADWAYS IF THEY ARE FLOODED, TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!

So to wrap it all up, be careful, and stay safe!

Spring time for real? Okay, but what do the computer models have to say about this?

Is it really spring?

Yes, it is springtime right now, but will winter’s wrath have that stand?

GFS computer model: This computer model is suggesting that warm temperatures will arrive and be in the Northeast to stay for at least a while after April 7th. Though, there is the potential for some snow in northern parts of the Northeast after that.

European (ECMWF or Euro) computer model: The European model does agree with the GFS for the most part, but instead of a steady stream of cold air for the northern parts of the Northeast US, the European model suggests more in the way of some cold spells that will affect parts of the Northeast (northern) and large portions of Canada.

Be careful, there may be some spotty black ice over the next several days, so stay safe!

The Latest: Milder temperatures coming, bringing with it some April showers

Winter is well on it’s way to ending, but will still attempt to come back over the next several weeks, likely only to loose to the warm air once again. Watch out for some slick roads tomorrow.

The Latest: Warm temperatures

Starting tomorrow across the Northeast warm temperatures actually above average will start to settle in, helping to diminish any snow remaining in southern portions of New England. Most of the temperatures to be seen tomorrow will be around ten degrees above average, so about 60 degrees in most places.

The Latest: Rain, rain, and of course, more rain

Starting tomorrow evening, rain showers will start to move in and be in the Northeast to stay at least until Friday night. The system will bring with it generally two inches, with locally higher amounts across the Northeast. Be aware of the possibility of some isolated severe thunderstorms in this system.

Stay safe!

Was yesterday the last day this season for daytime snow for most of the Northeast?

April 1, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, New York City Metro Area, NortheastLeave a comment

The so called “Blizzard of 2015” that was really not for most areas (except for Boston because you know, since no one else wanted the snow the blizzard decided to just dump it all on them…)

So was yesterday the last daytime snow in the Northeast this wintry-springy hybrid season…?

Maybe for the major cities such as New York and Boston, but for extreme northern parts of New England there is the potential for some more daytime snow not just overnight flurries…

Before the end of April there will likely be several more clippers and larger storm events that could bring mainly rain for the Northeast, but some more, fresh snow in northern areas of Maine, New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire. (This all over the next several days and couple of weeks.)

Be aware of the potential of melting and refreezing creating patchy areas of black ice across New England and the northern parts of the Mid Atlantic.

Stay safe!

Cooler temperatures now, warmer temperatures tomorrow

April 1, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, low temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, New York City Metro Area, NortheastLeave a comment

Today is April 1st 2015, the average highs today in the Northeast will be around 45, this is about ten degrees below average, but tomorrow, the temperatures will be virtually the same as the historical average in most locations in the Northeast. The big deal though is this Friday, this Friday, is the first time in most locations in the NYC Metro Area and about everywhere north of there to see temperatures above average this spring. Temperatures in NYC will be around 60 on Friday, whereas locations such as Philadelphia will have temperatures colder to the mid/upper 60’s. Although warm temperatures are coming, yesterday was a reminder wintry weather can occur almost anytime in early spring.

Be aware of the possibility of some black ice, and stay safe!

The Latest: Snow on the ground for April First? Or just another cruel April Fools joke?

Are you kidding me?

Though winter was over? Once again, you may have thought wrong…

The Latest: Snow in the Northeast, (sigh…)

APRIL FOOLS! Just kidding the snow falling is actually real…

If it is not already, rain will transition to snow and start to accumulate in areas north of NYC soon. In areas already seeing this transition there is up to almost an inch of snow, covering most grassy surfaces with yet another fresh round of snow. Check out our new ‘School Closure Index’ page to see the general odds of school closings, delayed schedules, and early dismissals across the areas affected by the storm.

The Latest: We have mentioned again and again that the warm temperatures are coming, so when exactly will they come here to stay?

Soon most hope, but there is again the potential for a few more cold spells in the Northeast before winter’s last breath will be exhausted. The truth is that warmer temperatures will become more normal and average over the next week, but again, there is the potential for some more, not as cold, but cold, spells dipping into the Northeast. Be aware of the possibility of some localized areas of black ice tomorrow and the next day due to melting and refreezing.

Stay safe, and stay warm during the snow.

Snow is falling now, warm up tomorrow could spell for black ice and flooding

March 31, 2015March 31, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged amount of snow, black ice, Delta plane, forecasts, New England, New York City Metro AreaLeave a comment

Right now, if you live in the Northeast it may seem as if there is a pre-taped video from February rolling outside on your windows now, but we can assure you that is not the case. The snow we are taking about that is falling across New England and the Mid Atlantic could leave the areas talked about with several more inches of fresh snow and the threat of black ice tomorrow along with some flooding. Please be aware of the possibility of black ice and flooding even today, but expectantly over the next few days.

We will update you soon and stay safe!

WATCH OUT! Snow is coming just in time for the evening commute today across the Northeast

March 31, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged amount of snow, current weather conditions, low temperatures, New York City Metro AreaLeave a comment

Watch out! The Northeast, unexpectedly, is about to experience possibly up to several more inches of snow from New York City to Boston starting around 4 PM in NYC, and an hour or two later in Boston. This storm may hassle the evening commute with up to seven inches of snow in come localized areas. Please exercise extra caution while driving in the snow today. There could be some bands of moderate to heavy snow today into tonight in some areas so please heed all watches, warnings, and advisories. This is a reminder that just maybe winter is not over yet!

Stay safe!

The Latest: Special Announcement, Update on Papua New Guinea, Weather 360 news, and the warm up soon for the Northeast

March 30, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged Atlantic Hurricane Season, earthquake, high temperatures, hurricane season, Hurricane Season 2015, New York City Metro Area, Northeast, tsunamiLeave a comment

On this edition of our 7 PM EST post of ‘The Latest’ we will talk about the special announcement we promised we would release, an update on the 7.7 earthquake in Papua New Guinea along with the tsunami it triggered, and the warm up headed for the Northeast, specifically the NYC Metro Area, where temperatures could soar over fifteen degrees.

The Latest: Final update of the Papua New Guinea earthquake and tsunami

The 7.7 magnitude earthquake on the Richter Scale that shook up parts of Papua New Guinea yesterday has caused tens of large, over 4.0, aftershocks that have reminded locals and travelers there that earthquakes don’t just affect several seconds. The small and local tsunami created by the initial 7.7 earthquake was measured around two meters at it’s top in Papua New Guinea according to some reports. Earthquakes such as the 7.7 in Papua New Guinea test the different tsunami warning centers every time they occur, this makes sure that when there are larger earthquakes and tsunamis that the warning centers are able to issue correct and more accurate watches, warnings, and advisories.

The Latest: Warm up for the winter weary NYC, Boston, and the Northeast as a whole soon!

After the brutal winter and the morning snow has moved through the Northeast, many are hoping for a mild start to April across the I-95 Corridor. The truth is though, that although over the next week there will be more warmth and mild temperatures across the Northeast, there is the potential for some more cold to come in briefly overt the next two weeks before being purged out of the Northeast by the springtime air. Be ready for warmer temperatures, but be aware that there may be some more cold spells in store for the Northeast.

The Latest: Weather 360 news along with our announcement

What Weather 360 would like to say is that our Hurricane Season 2015 cyclone prediction will be released BEFORE June 1st, meaning, with all the combined information from other organizations (ex: Colorado and NHC) along with several other different sources, Weather 360 will provide an official Hurricane Season 2015 cyclone preliminary prediction (number of cyclones only, ex: named, hurricanes, major hurricanes.)

Until then, stay safe!

After shocks continue in Southwestern Pacific, warm is in the forecast for the Northeast US

March 30, 2015March 30, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged forecasts, high temperatures, Northeast, tsunamiLeave a comment

Hundreds of smaller aftershocks are shaking up Papua New Guinea today after the 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck yesterday. Back to the Northeast, warm temperatures, and some more snow are in the forecast.

Tomorrow evening and night in cold enough areas of parts of New England and northern portions of the Mid Atlantic, there will be some snow and wintry mix as the result of the transition from rain to frozen precipitation. Though some cold temperatures and freezing precipitation tomorrow night is expected, warmer temperatures are on the way for the Northeast’s major cities, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, etc. By the end of this week there is the potential for a day of very mild temperatures all over New England and the Mid Atlantic (around 60 degrees in the NYC Metro Area, with temperatures slightly cooler/warmer depending on location.)

Be prepared for a sudden warm up then another small cool down over the next several days, and as always stay safe!

There is going to be a special announcement regarding this website either in today’s edition of ‘The Latest’ or tomorrow.
