Wintry weather this coming weekend for the Northeast?

Two very accurate computer models the GFS and the ECMWF have been hinting at a possible snow and rain event for the Northeast Friday Night into Saturday Night. The event in and around NYC should start as mainly snow but transitioning to a wintry mix during the day and tapering off overnight.  It is unknown what the accumulations may be in this event as of now.

For those who are winter weary in the Northeast don’t look at the temperatures in southern Florida…

Another change has been made to the posting schedule: Weather 360 will also post in the early afternoon hours before rush hour to give the heads up if there is a storm or breaking event in the Northeast.

PLANE SKIDS OFF RUNWAY AT LAGUARDIA AIRPORT

If you haven’t heard already, a Delta plane did skid off runway 13 at Laguardia Airport closing down the airport until 7 PM EST. There are no serious injuries reported.  At the time of the accident there was moderate snow falling at Laguardia with a few inches reported at the time as well.  Please listen to your news channel for more information on flight cancellations and other information on the incident.

For those driving in wintry weather, stay safe!

Snow is falling in the Northeast… again

It seems like the Northeast cannot catch a break!  Currently it is snowing moderately in most of Connecticut, Southern New York, and most of the Mid-Atlantic. The snow in and around NYC will last until the early evening hours and will bring several more inches of the fluffy stuff that will accumulate on roads, grass, and roofs.  Nothing more to say except that after the NWS’s back and forth with the timing and accumulation the storm did shift a little further to the north.

Be safe!

Watch out Mid Atlantic and Southern New England!

The second round of this wintry mess is arriving in the Mid Atlantic and Southern New England tonight into tomorrow evening.  The storm will bring some rain at first, changing to a wintry mix briefly before turning over to all snow by 2am in most places north of Trenton, New Jersey, (the changeover may take place a little later to places immediately south of Trenton.)  The storm could dump around three to six inches of snow in the New York City Metro area before making its way into the Atlantic.  Weather 360 would just like to put it out there for anybody who would enjoy spring weather right now, the temperatures on the East Coast and most of the Mid West will start to rise, although still much below average in some spots it will be a little warmer and a nice change after this brutally cold winter, (Southern Florida this does not go for you…)

Wintry mess makes it’s move on the Northeast

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.)

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.)
