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.)

Hurricane Season 2015 preliminary forecast

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.
