Below average temperatures expected to stick around into May

March 23, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged forecasts, low temperatures, NortheastLeave a comment

The newest data is suggesting that unseasonably cool temperatures could stick around in the Northeast well through April and into May. Although there will be warm spells, colder temperatures will be dominate for much of early spring. This summer though, temperatures in the Northeast are expected currently to be at or near average. The slight drought parts of the Northeast have been experiencing over the past several months (nothing similar to what California has) is expected either to clear up or stay the same due to the low chance of below average precipitation in the hotter months over the summer.

Still keep your salt ready to use against any possible black ice, but if you live in an area on or near the coast that has experienced any type of tropical entity (such as a hurricane or tropical storm) now is the time to start gathering supplies for an emergency kit in case one comes near you.

Stay safe!

Rain is on it’s way!

A fairly large rain event is expected to arrive in the Northeast around Thursday, bringing with it the possibility of a few inches of rain from Maine to Pennsylvania. With the rain, there will be some very warm temperatures relative to what the Northeast has experienced over the past several months, causing even more rapid snow melt of what ever is left all over the Northeast. In some areas further North, such as the mountains in northern Vermont and New Hampshire there is the possibility of some snow and freezing precipitation to mix in at times. Now would be a good time to bring out your rain boots, the Northeast’s spring is well on it’s way to overcome the wrath of winter.

Stay safe!

Due to maintenance issues, Weather 360 will post ‘The Latest’ twice today (with different information.)

The Latest: Polls

As you may have noticed, there was a previous post with a poll embedded within it that asked if you would pay for our new ‘Hurricane Package’. The polls show 25% so far for each answer, so please vote soon because new results will not be taken after today.

The Latest: What do the computer models have to say about spring for the Northeast?

It is no longer still looking good for warm temperatures in the Northeast. After this round of cold air, the GFS and ECMWF models (the top two in the world) are suggesting that there will only be a brief round of warmer air before more very cold temperatures move back in, bringing with it the potential for a wintry mix or even snow in the Northeast well into early April. Maybe it isn’t time to put away the shovels and salt yet…

All Weather 360 can really say is be glad that it isn’t precipitating near you (at least for most of the Northeast.)

April showers for the Northeast likely

April showers bring May flowers. This is a good thing, as long as you don’t have allergies…

Well, this April there may be more than just rain showers, even already some long-range computer models such as the GFS model are suggesting that this spring, for the Northeast, there may be a myriad of April showers, not necessarily only rain, ready to swing into the Mid Atlantic and New England. Still be aware of the potential for some more rain and maybe some snow showers in the Northeast in April as well. Stay safe!

We need your feedback!

Please answer the following poll honestly.

The first day of second winter?

March 19, 2015March 19, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged amount of snow, black ice, forecasts, Mid Atlantic, New England, Northeast, snow, snow event, snow fallingLeave a comment

Tomorrow may be the first day of spring, but it sure won’t feel much like it in the Northeast. Tomorrow a snow event will impact the majority of the southern portions of the Northeast, bringing with it several inches of snow across a large swath of the Northeast. The timing of this storm will be perfect for snarling the morning and evening rush hour with bands of moderate to heavy snow. It may seem to some in the Northeast that instead of tomorrow being the first day of spring, it may be more like the first day of a second winter (although the cold will only last for a little longer.)

Last snow storm of the season for the Northeast?

March 19, 2015March 19, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged amount of snow, black ice, current weather conditions, forecasts, low temperatures, New England, Northeast, snow, snow eventLeave a comment

Weather 360 would like to apologize for not posting a post to unveil the new section of Weather 360, that post will be posted later today.

Today is March 19th 2015, normally, Weather 360 wouldn’t have to talk about this, but this winter isn’t very normal. With this in mind, it is not hard to guess what this may mean. What it does mean is that tomorrow the majority of southern New England and most of the Mid Atlantic will be impacted by a snow event possibly dumping up to six inches in some localized areas.

The timing of the storm

In areas further to the west the precipitation will likely start while morning rush hour is winding up, and will end around midnight Saturday morning.

For locations further to the east the precipitation (mainly snow) will start before the evening rush hour begins and will start to taper off a couple of hours after midnight.

Any accumulations?

As previously mentioned, snow accumulations may be a couple of inches with some locally higher amounts where the heaviest snow falls and where it is cold enough to stay all snow (mainly all locations further north than Trenton and mostly to the east.) So be prepared for snow accumulation, heed all watches, warnings, and advisories set out by the National Weather Service, and most of all, stay safe!

Snow is on it’s way! To the Northeast…

It can be interesting when the slightest change in temperatures and track of a storm system can completely alter the forecast for a given area. That is what parts of New England are experiencing today. The NAM computer model along with others are now showing two smaller and weaker storm systems combining in the Ohio Valley to bring a mixed precipitation there, but as it heads northeast, it will meet some cold air which could bring up to several inches of snow (not ice, rain, or sleet, such as most late-winter systems) to parts of southern New England. In and around NYC to the north, the snow should start around noon and end just after midnight, but in NYC itself, the snow will mix in with rain and sleet to possibly create icy and hazardous conditions on the road ways. For those in winter weary Boston, there isn’t as high of a chance of the storm impacting that area, so it seems to be as if Boston is mainly in the clear of experiencing another major winter storm for a while. Weather 360 will provide more updates on the track and intensity of this storm as it approaches the Northeast.

Stay safe!

Major snowstorm buries Maine, rapid snow melt continues around NYC.

The major late winter snowstorm is starting to wind down in Maine that buried the region in over half a foot of snow. This is allowing warmer temperatures to move into the area and the rest of New England. With warmer temperatures (slightly above freezing), rain during the day can refreeze or freeze while falling creating patches of black ice and wintry mix. For anyone outside in these conditions please exercise extra caution to stay safe.

Rain in the Northeast, mass devastation in Vanuatu

March 14, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged category 5 hurricane, current weather conditions, forecasts, hurricane season, Northeast, VanuatuLeave a comment

Last night into today for the Northeast US and parts of Southeastern Canada will be either rainy or icy. While there isn’t much to talk about in the Northeast, in the island nation of Vanuatu there is mass devastation after category five typhoon (hurricane) destroys or damages most structures with winds of over 160 MPH and a storm surge possibly over 20 feet (7 meters). UNICEF released a statement yesterday that it was preparing for the worst. Reports of widespread devastation and several deaths have been arriving overnight. To put on top of that there was just another 4.9 earthquake in Vanuatu, although not strong, it could damage already damaged structures.
