There was snow last night? Wasn’t it just April yesterday?

There was snow last night?

It is true, the snow fell mainly in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Upstate New York last night due to the falling precipitation mixing in with the cold, below freezing air.  Who was our big winner last night in terms of snow you may ask?  KNOX COUNTY MAINE!  You are our big winner!  You received a whole fresh 6.7 inches of snow according to the National Weather Service!

Now that the celebrating is done…

We would like to move on to our next big weather event, the rain tonight in most of the Northeast, but even more wintry mess for you Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Upstate New York!  Yes it is true, now let us show them what they have won again!  About a tenth or two tenths of an inch of ice is expected across the areas mentioned along with some more sleet and snow!

Okay, what about the rain?

In most of New England that isn’t cold enough and nearly the whole Mid Atlantic, precipitation will start to fall later today into tonight in the form of rain if it has not already begun, be careful, turn around don’t drown, meaning, DON’T DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED ROADS! (It isn’t a good idea…)

Also, be on the lookout for the potential of some severe weather affecting parts of New England the Mid Atlantic tonight into tomorrow.

Stay safe!  And really, don’t drive through flooded roadways.

BEWARE! APRIL IS NOW CONSIDERED A MONTH CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WINTRY CONDITIONS!

BEWARE~ APRIL IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WINTRY CONDITIONS IN THE NORTHEAST UNITED STATES!

Well, can the Northeast ever catch a break?  One moment, winter is wrapping up, the next, seemingly starting back up again!

Tonight and tomorrow morning there is the possibility that cold temperatures in New England could create the conditions that create wintry weather.  Tonight in areas of southern parts of New England, sleet will mix in with rain, creating hazardous driving conditions for the morning commute, especially on I 95 in between Boston and New York. For northern parts of New England, sleet will mix in with freezing rain along with some snow tonight into tomorrow morning, also, creating some more hazardous driving conditions.

Be aware that some roads may also have a layer of black ice on them.  Stay safe!

Wintry weather expected to impact parts of New England, TONIGHT!

Tonight across New England there is the potential for some wintry mix due to the precipitation happening to fall the one night in April where temperatures are right around freezing in that area.

The freezing line will be just north of New York City, creating a possible icy hazard tomorrow morning for commuters.  In Connecticut, southern parts of New York, and Rhode Island, the main threat will be sleet and rain together in the morning.  In Upstate New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, the main threat will be freezing rain (ice) and some snow possibly mixed in will also create more hazardous conditions for commuters across New England.

Remember when we told you not to necessarily put away all the winter gear earlier?  Now, if you took our advise, you will not need to work so hard to stay safe!

Summer temperatures are on their way!

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

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

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , Leave 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!

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

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , Leave 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…

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

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

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…

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

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

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , Leave 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!

The Latest: Rain, mild temperatures, more Weather 360 news, and the list goes on

As most of you probably know, it is raining in the Northeast.

Again, way to state the obvious, but what that doesn’t mention is there is the potential for some severe storms and weather to roll across the Mid Atlantic and New England.  Be aware for some isolated storms that may bring lightning, heavy downpours, and small hail.  Refer to the NWS or NOAA for emergency information.

The Latest:  SPRING IS HERE! THE NORTHEAST IS WINTER FREE!  Well, at least for the most part…

For areas in southern parts of New England and most of the Mid Atlantic it may seem as if winter is well on it’s way out of the area,  but there is still the potential for at least two more small Jet Stream dips, bringing back a small taste of winter to remind everyone that April can be a volatile month in terms of temperatures.  Be on the lookout for some freezing of water on roadways in a few days in northern portions of the Northeast.

Stay safe!

The Latest:  Typhoon in the Western Pacific

The typhoon in the Western Pacific has it’s eyes on the Philippines and then southeastern parts of China.  The typhoon has already reportedly killed one person and is now expected to hit the Philippines as the equivalent of a moderate to strong category two cyclone (winds around 105-110 mph.)  The typhoon could dump up to ten inches of rain in the Philippines and China, this creating the possibility of some landslides in more hilly and mountainous areas.

The Latest:  Schedule changes?  We need your feedback on this!

What do you think? Should there be a schedule change for Weather 360?  Send us your opinion on this via a poll we will release tomorrow.  When you answer the poll, please answer honestly.
