Have outdoor plans? It may be best to do them before the end of this upcoming weekend…

No, it is not what you are probably thinking, this time around the big threat will not be cool temperatures, but this time the only threat to outdoor plans is the rain that may come this weekend.

Although the weekend is still a few days away, the likelihood of there being a rain event across the Northeast has been steadily increasing as the GFS computer model and the European computer model (ECMWF) have both been suggesting that there may be a low pressure system that may sweep across the Northeast United States sometime later this weekend or very early next week.

Will there be a severe front to this storm system?

Yes, at the moment it does appear to look as if there may be a severe side to this system. Right now, the severe side looks mainly to be in southern and western portions of the Northeast (this could very easily change.)

Although there is the possibility of a severe side to this storm, in most of the Northeast, it appears at the moment to likely only to be rain and some thunder.

Be on the lookout for any short term forecasts or hazardous weather outlooks by the NOAA to see if your specific area may be at risk.

Stay safe!

This weekend in the Northeast – ACTUAL SPRING CONDITIONS!

April 10, 2015April 10, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged high temperatures, Northeast, springLeave a comment

Across the Northeast, rain and thunderstorms will begin to move out into Canada and the Atlantic. With the storms exiting, warmer temperatures and clear skies will be entering. Across most of New England and nearly the whole Mid Atlantic, temperatures will be right near or even slightly above average. According to the GFS model along with most of the short range models and the European model, skies will stay mostly clear due to a large high pressure being situated over the area.

That’s all for now, but enjoy the clear skies and drier conditions while they last!

Summer temperatures are on their way!

Summer temperatures are on their way! But much like the very early spring, it is only a tease…

According to the European and the GFS computer models, in about a week and a half to two weeks there will be a sudden lift in the Arctic Jet Stream (the one that brings down all the cold Canadian air) and warm temperatures will flood even locations in Maine. In southern parts of New England and the Mid Atlantic temperatures could soar past the 70 degree line. Again though, just like earlier this season, the cooler temperatures will take back the Northeast and bring more March-like temperatures back.

Until then, be aware o the possibility of some thunderstorms today through Friday, and above all, stay safe!

The Latest: The warm temperature retreat

April 6, 2015April 6, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged forecasts, high temperatures, low temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, New York City Metro Area, Northeast, rain, rain showers, snowLeave a comment

The Northeast has seen quite a wild early spring in terms of temperatures so far. From snow on the first day of spring, to temperatures in the 60’s just yesterday, the temperatures in the Northeast seem to not have made up their mind yet on when exactly they want to transition into the more spring-like temperatures they should be right around now.

On this post of the Latest, Weather 360 would also like to say that we will now, go back to our original statement of how every edition of ‘The Latest’ will explain the differences among the computer models.

The Latest: Why warm temperatures! Why leave us now!

Well, it is not like the warm temperatures are gone forever, more as if they are just scared of their own shadow and wont come back out for another few days if you know what we mean.

The computer models, explain that.

For tomorrow, both the GFS and the European model suggest that most of Upstate New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and nearly all of Maine will be trapped in cold, Canadian air. Whereas they both agree that south of those areas, temperatures will still be cooler than average, but not necessarily so close to the freezing line. On Wednesday though, the GFS model suggests that the winds will mainly be from the south in the areas affected by colder air tomorrow, which, although the cold temperatures will still be for the most part in the same place, the temperatures will be a bit cooler in locations slightly further to the south, but warming slightly throughout the day. The European model suggests though for Wednesday that the winds will be from the north and east, which will mean that temperatures have a larger chance for staying the same or declining throughout the day on Wednesday.

Be on the lookout for some icy patches on roadways in locations where the snow may melt during the day and refreeze during the night!

What we didn’t mention though again is the rain over the next several days across the Northeast. Just keep the fact that there may be some snow mixed in with the rain in northern New England in mind…

Until those icy temperatures arrive in parts of New England, enjoy the remaining heat, and stay safe!

Special: Weather 360’s analysis of the rest of spring outlook from the NOAA

April 6, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, high temperatures, low temperatures, Northeast, severe storms, severe weatherLeave a comment

The NOAA’s spring outlook discussion may seem a bit complicated, so in this post, Weather 360 will break down the main points of the discussion to tell you what spring 2015 will turn into for the Northeast.

Temperatures in the Northeast

The outlook basically says that slightly above to around average temperatures will be predominant in the Northeast. The discussion along with other sources from the NOAA imply that the warmer to near average temperatures may enhance the risk, likely not by much, of there being more storms (some severe) in the Northeast later this season.

Precipitation

For the Northeast, the amount of precipitation this spring will be very close if not at average this spring. Although temperatures will be close to average, flooding will be at an enhanced risk this season in northeastern parts of New England, where the snow pack is still melting. Be aware this month of some flooding in northern locations in New England.

Stay safe, and enjoy the season while it lasts!

Is today the last day of mild, spring like temperatures for the week?

April 6, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, NortheastLeave a comment

So, is today the last day of mild temperatures this week?

Unfortunately for at least New England, this may be true…

Temperatures in most of New England and New York have been relatively nice for spring so far, but it is still only early April, one of the most erratic times (temperature wise) of the year. So for those in New England, have your sweatshirts ready, it is going to be a cool spring week.

But, for the Mid Atlantic, people can look forward to a week of temperatures on the milder side.

Yes, this is mostly what is going to happen in locations such as New Jersey and parts of Pennsylvania. So, for people there, enjoy the weather! Before the rain comes to spoil it…

Rain + warm temperatures = spring?

April 5, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, low temperatures, Northeast, rain showers, severe storms, temperatures riseLeave a comment

Is it true that spring equals warmer temperatures plus rain?

Most people do not enjoy acknowledging the fact that rain comes with the milder, temperatures, maybe because most people do not like being trapped inside by the mud, but that’s is just a suggestion…

Today though, for anyone wondering what the timing of the rain will be and what the temperatures will be, please read ahead.

Today temperatures in southern parts of New England and most of the Mid Atlantic will be around 60 degrees, while in northern portions of New England and New York will likely stay closer to 40 or 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

The timing of the rain

By the afternoon in the Mid Atlantic, some showers will start to move in, but not intensify until overnight. For places in New England, especially in eastern parts, the rain will probably not start to mid-evening or night as some showers. There is still the possibility for some stray thunderstorms later today so please, heed all warnings set out by the National Weather Service.

As about every post, stay safe!

The Latest: Precipitation ending in Maine, otherwise, nice and dry in the Northeast until later tomorrow

As mentioned time and time again on the last few of our posts, there is rain coming for the Northeast, and a lot of it, all next week. For now though, there is only the wrapping up snow and rain in Maine moving into Canada to worry aboot.

The Latest: Dry conditions for most of the Northeast for at least early on tomorrow…

The rain coming for the Northeast is now expected to arrive just a little earlier,(tomorrow), this means that anyone with outdoor activities planned tomorrow may have to alter them accordingly with the threat of some stray showers coming in. Be careful, there is the potential for some stray thunderstorms mainly in the Mid Atlantic region as well.

The Latest: Snow in Maine, didn’t spring already free the Northeast from winter?

Yes and no…

First off, everyone knows Maine is further north than locations such as New Jersey or Long Island, good. This means that it will always be a little cooler in Maine than NYC on a normal spring day. Since they are a bit cooler off than other locations in the Northeast, conditions in early April are still favorable for the eight inches or more of snow they have already received. That is why those in Maine are shoveling away snow, while those in parts of New Jersey can already be shoveling away dirt to make room for a garden.

So if your freezing away in Caribou, Maine, or if your seeding a garden in New Jersey, stay safe and enjoy the milder temperatures, well, at least for southern parts of the Northeast (sorry Maine, not for you yet…),

Stay safe!

Dry conditions for everywhere but Maine in the Northeast for now…

Before we get started, please take a few seconds to answer this poll. We need your feedback!

If you visit our ‘Major Storm’ page, you will scroll down and see the radar only showing a lot of precipitation in Maine currently. Our point is not that this is false, which it isn’t, but that these conditions wont be around for much longer.

The storm system moving through Maine was the same one from yesterday that dumped a lot of rain along the New England and Mid Atlantic. The storm is mainly bringing snow and mixed precipitation to Maine now, along with some more snow in parts of Canada.

Back to our point

Our point is that there is the very large potential for a large and long rain event next week, so if you enjoy the outdoors while they are not filled with rain, go out now and enjoy them now, because those are the conditions that will be dominating the Northeast next week.

Stay safe!

Now instead of everyone dreading more snow, people are dreading the fact that there is a lot, and we mean a lot more rain coming

April 4, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, New York City Metro Area, Northeast, rain showers, severe storms, severe weatherLeave a comment

Over the next couple of days conditions across the Northeast will be relatively dry (except for today), but over the course of next week, the Northeast will become soggy again with rain.

Let’s talk about today

First off, not everywhere in the Northeast is dreading the rain yet, most of Maine today and tonight will receive several inches of snow from the same precipitation that will pop up across the Northeast today. So, if you are in Maine (and parts of Vermont, New York, and New Hampshire), you probably already know not to put away the winter gear before April is at least half way over. The pop up storms we were talking about will move through the Northeast (especially eastern parts of New England and the Mid Atlantic) bringing with them some light to moderate bands of rain. Nothing that should cause serious flooding, but still use caution while outdoors due to the possibility of some severe storms.

What about the rain next week?

Well, it seems as if that the rain next week will last a bit longer (around three and a half days in most parts) and will be a bit heavier (more severe thunderstorms) as well. These storms could bring some small hail, gusty winds, and lightning to locations mostly south of the New York City Metro Area. Be on the lookout next week for some of these storms, and heed all warnings and watches put out by the National Weather Service (NWS.)

Stay safe!
