Wintry mess makes it’s move on the Northeast

March 3, 2015March 3, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, New England, Northeast, rain showers, snow, snow event, snow falling, Weather, winter storm, wintry weatherLeave a comment

By now if you live in the Northeast you likely are seeing some snow falling out your window. This same snow event will likely change over to rain tonight and taper off tomorrow midday as a couple of rain showers. Beware! Although the rain will taper off in the Northeast there is another part of the storm coming in right behind it for the Northeast (mainly New England and New York.) This second part of the storm will bring at first a wintry mix overnight quickly transitioning to all snow during Thursday dumping possibly over six inches of snow in some places and tapering off in and around New York City by the afternoon hours and during the evening for Boston and the Cape.

Weather 360 urges everyone to use extra caution if outdoors and stay safe!

Sorry US, winter isn’t over yet

A winter storm is currently making its way down the slopes of the Rockies and into the Midwest before moving into the Northeast US to bring possibly up to six inches of snow on top of up to three feet already burying some spots by Tuesday Night. The storm while in the Northeast US will bring snow at first, then a wintry mix, then some rain, and a short lull before the next round of snow and wintry mix moves into New England Wednesday into Thursday. So keep your shovels at the ready and your salt at hand because winter is not over yet.

Stay safe!

The end of winter is in – wait nevermind

Did you say this at all in the past several weeks? If you did Weather 360 would like to tell you that this April is forecasted to be cooler than normal if you live in the Northeast. The winter weary Northeast of the United States has just received about six to ten inches in the New York City Metro Area which created a complete mess on I-95 northbound and southbound according to reports. All the snow forecasted last night actually fell in the early evening hours surprising many. Now Weather 360 said that the end of winter is in sight, but we also said nevermind that. That is true, the end of the wintry weather in the Northeast is likely going to happen by mid-April, only after the Northeast goes through just a few more storms. One of these storms is expected to impact the northeast with snow, ice, freezing rain, and rain from Tuesday into Thursday dumping possibly another several inches of snow along with some ice. For the rest of the US spring-like weather may arrive sooner than mid-April, but in most of Canada especially Newfoundland and northern Canada winter-like weather may start to end a little later than normal.

About that forecasted few inches…

Well, reports from I 95 northbound and southbound in and around the Connecticut coast have shown that a few more than “a few inches” has already fallen. The NOAA has updated their storm totals amount about eight hours after the storm. The NOAA started to say that now Long Island and coastal Connecticut and Rhode Island will now receive as much as eight inches of snow in what was the two to three inch range for the time before the storm and into the storm about eight hours then Winter Storm Warnings were issued for parts of coastal Connecticut and all of Long Island. This winter has really proven to the public to prepare for the absolute worst and hope for the best (in the Northeast it has really mainly been the worst this winter.)

Snow tonight into tomorrow for New England

March 1, 2015March 1, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged Mid Atlantic, New England, wintry weatherLeave a comment

A snow event will come through the Mid Atlantic and New England bringing a few inches of snow in and around NYC with a few more inches in the suburbs in the north. Boston could receive around seven inches of snow overnight into the early morning hours. This storm will not be like that of some previous storms by dumping over a foot of snow in some areas, but a smaller storm that will bring just a few more inches to New England and parts of the Mid Atlantic. Weather 360 will create a separate post when we know approximately when all the wintry weather will end for the winter weary Northeast. This same storm will cross the border into Canada soon and dump several inches of snow in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. This storm may also bring a few inches into parts of Quebec too.

More snow incoming for the NYC Metro Area!

A snow event is expected to occur in the Northeast Sunday afternoon into early Monday morning possibly dumping several inches of snow in Manhattan with a few more inches further to the north. The exact amount of snow and timing of the snow is still not clear so please stay up to date for a possible change in the forecast.

Hurricane Season 2015 preliminary forecast

February 27, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged forecasts, hurricane season, Hurricane Season 2015Leave a comment

If you are a person who has been looking at different Hurricane Season 2015 forecasts especially during or after January 12th you may have seen some “differences” in preliminary predictions. For instance the GWO (Global Weather Oscillations) has predicted the “most active and dangerous in at least 3 years, and the next 3 seasons will be the most dangerous in 10 years.” while other organizations suggest that the 2015 hurricane season will be slightly below average. Even after that there is more back and forth with some organizations yelling danger at the top of their lungs while others predicting an average to below average season with little risk of a major hurricane landfall in the United States. So, as you can see Weather 360 has been very busy in terms of having to look at all this information to try and make the most accurate forecast as we can in this stage of the forecasts for the upcoming hurricane season. Here is Weather 360’s preliminary forecast for Hurricane Season 2015:

Weather 360’s preliminary forecasts with preliminary data so far for Hurricane Season 2015 suggest at least an average season with the chance of an above average season in the Atlantic Basin. In way of hurricane landfalls Weather 360 cannot make a complete guarantee so early on before the season actually starts, but please, Weather 360 urges everyone on from the Canadian Maritime to Brownsville, Texas and beyond to start to be prepared for a possible landfall near you. Again, Weather 360 would like to say that it is a good idea for everyone with a threat of a hurricane on the Atlantic Basin to be prepared for this potentially active hurricane season.

What can make a winter storm forecast incorrect?

What can make a winter storm forecast incorrect?

In winter storm forecasts there can be many different reasons for an inaccurate weather prediction out out by a weather organizations. One of these reasons is likely the most common one, some organizations pick and choose one particular forecast model(s) they think are the most accurate but then the forecast model just happens to have gotten the forecast for that one storm wrong. Occurrences such as the one just explained can happen creating mistrust between some forecast models and weather organizations which can lead to more in accurate predictions. The best way any organizations can likely avoid that is to compare most if not all of the forecast models available at the same level first, then weigh the forecast slightly so the more accurate forecast models have a little more in the say in what may happen in a particular storm. In rare occurrences such as one that occurred in the New York City Metro Area very recently was the “Blizzard of 2015” which was expected until several hours after the storm started, to dump over two feet of snow in places in Southwestern Connecticut. The next day the weather services happened to see that only about ten inches of snow actually fell during the storm with barely any wind. In that storm nearly all the major models got it wrong, but in the following storms, several forecast models which got the “Blizzard of 2015” very wrong, got the very next storm very right, this can happen often so the best way to go if you are creating a weather prediction is to take most if not all forecast models available into account.

Wintry mess coats the Southern United States

Wintry mess dumps snow, rain, and ice in the Southeast US

Several inches of snow and a coating of ice mixing along with rain has impacted the Southeastern US with dangerous driving conditions and some power outages. Although anyone in Boston or Anticosti may think that is nothing with plenty of snow on the ground and more coming during this very wintry winter, the Southeastern United States is not as well accustomed to such wintry weather so much like the National Weather Service and others, Weather 360 urges people to stay safe while on the roads due to current weather conditions.

Go to http://www.ready.gov/winter-weather to see how to be prepared for any winter storm or cold that comes your way! (Although this website is set out by the United States Government it has good advice on winter weather safety for everyone.)
