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!

The first day of second winter?

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.)

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!

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…)

Snow tonight into tomorrow for New England

A snow event will come through the Mid Atlantic and New England bringing a few inches of snow in and around NYC with a few more inches in the suburbs in the north. Boston could receive around seven inches of snow overnight into the early morning hours. This storm will not be like that of some previous storms by dumping over a foot of snow in some areas, but a smaller storm that will bring just a few more inches to New England and parts of the Mid Atlantic. Weather 360 will create a separate post when we know approximately when all the wintry weather will end for the winter weary Northeast. This same storm will cross the border into Canada soon and dump several inches of snow in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. This storm may also bring a few inches into parts of Quebec too.
