Snow and rain heading for the Northeast today into Friday

March 25, 2015March 25, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged amount of snow, black ice, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, Northeast, rain showersLeave a comment

For the next few days across the Northeast there will be rainy and overcast conditions, but in the mountains in New Hampshire, Vermont, and most of northern Maine, there is the potential for several inches of snow.

The timing of this event: Around NYC and Boston, the rain will begin later today as showers and possibly have a break sometime tomorrow before starting up again tomorrow night into Friday morning.

What about the snow?: In areas closer to the Canadian border, such as the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, there is a potential for cold enough air to mix in with the precipitation and cause a snow event. This storm is not expected to be anything huge, but if you happen to be in an area expected to see snow, exercise extra caution while outdoors especially on road, and as always, stay safe!

Special: Why is it so cold in the Northeast?

When will winter ever end?!

Soon, at least hopefully, if the latest run of the GFS model proves correct…

What does the latest model run say then? Well, at the 384 hour mark, the GFS is suggesting that a large swatch of mild air will arrive in the west of the US and Canada and flooding the rest of the US with more mild, spring-like temperatures. There is also the potential for a snow event for inland portions of New England in the next two weeks.

Well keep you posted and stay safe.

Severe storm potential for the Northeast

March 24, 2015March 24, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged high temperatures, Northeast, rain showers, severe stormsLeave a comment

As a severe thunderstorm event sweeps the central part of the US, forecast models are suggesting that this storm will retain some severe properties by the time it reaches the Mid Atlantic and New England. By midday Thursday, much of the Northeast will be experiencing torrential rain showers along with the threat of some severe storms and the possibility of isolated locations experiencing hail. Be on the lookout for localized flooding and any severe thunderstorm warnings or watches.

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!

Special: The Latest

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.)

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.

If theres some more cold coming? Does that mean more snow?

March 12, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged forecasts, high temperatures, temperatures riseLeave a comment

For anyone who dislikes winter, there will be some more cold coming into the northeast. The question is though, will there be more snow for the northeast? The answer is likely no large snow events, maybe a few small clippers bringing a wintry mix of sort with likely no significant accumulation (over 6 inches) for the rest of the season. So the cold temperatures will last for maybe a few days after this warm (er) spell then quickly returning back to warmer, more spring-like temperatures.

Enjoy the warmer temperatures!

Rain, Snow, or both?

That is the question one may ask if they are currently in the Northeast US. If you have not seen already, there is the chance for a wintry event to occur in the Northeast Friday Night into Saturday. The Weather Channel is calling for mostly rain, while the National Weather Service is calling for snow transitioning to a wintry mix. See the difference? That forecast was for in and around New York City. Weather 360 has to agree with the National Weather Service this time, but we will keep you posted on where this storm will go next.

Why the warm up?

March 8, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged black ice, high temperatures, low temperatures, temperatures riseLeave a comment

In the next several days all across the US temperatures will warm, this is due to the jet stream that has brought down all that Arctic air into the US shifting to the north. So sorry Canada, same cold temperatures that have been around for a while now will last a bit longer. With this warm up comes two main dangers, black ice, and flooding. First of all black ice is just a thin sheet of ice that covers surfaces so it looks like the color of the surface (it seems invisible), so be careful while outside if temperatures in your area are expected to dip below freezing overnight. For the second main danger, flooding, as warmer temperatures start to thaw out the Northeast the several feet of snow in some spots will start to melt, this can cause localized flooding. If you are confronted with a flooded area you can never be certain of the depth of the water so please, turn around, don’t drown.

Stay safe!

Watch out for black ice in the Northeast this week

March 7, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged black ice, high temperatures, low temperatures, New England, NortheastLeave a comment

Please exercise extra caution on while outside during the next week due to melting and refreezing due to warmer temperatures during the day and below freezing temperatures overnight in the Northeast. Schedule changes will be going into effect on Monday March 9th 2015.

Stay safe!
