March 10, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged Atlantic Hurricane Season, hurricane season, Hurricane Season 2015, New England, Northeast, WeatherLeave a comment

THIS IS A FICTIONAL SITUATION DEPICTING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF:

A category two hurricane is barreling towards the Northeast. The following would take place.

1) An emergency email would be sent first including NWS & NHC statements/warnings.

2) Another notification would be sent including all spaghetti model info.

3) The third notification will include landfall odds, facility closure odds,likely road conditions, power outage odds, expected winds, expected rain, expected storm surge, another summary (by Weather 360) on the storm, and another summary of watches/warnings.

There may be some changes to this set up before this is released.

Rain tonight into tomorrow causing rapid melting in the Northeast.

As the several feet of snow burying New England starts to thaw away flooding is becoming a larger threat along with morning black ice in areas with higher temperatures during the day with cooler temperatures below freezing at night. Along with the melting currently occurring, tonight in most places in southern New England it will rain. This will soak the already wet snow with even more water before melting the following day, meaning that there will be even more water to be released when the snow melts causing localized flooding. Turn around, don’t drown.

Stay Safe!

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.

Weather 360 would just like to update everyone on Weather 360’s changes on this 7 PM EST post by starting out with a slightly altered and official schedule for Weather 360’s updating times: Weekdays, 7AM, a pre afternoon rush hour post, and a 7 PM post.

Now that everyone is caught up on that Weather 360 would also like to point out that Weather 360 will still be providing links for current and future weather conditions around the world for now, but will now only post for the Northeast in the off-hurricane season although we will still be providing forecasts for the whole Atlantic Basin once hurricane season begins this June.

Remember to keep a look out for our knew ‘Hurricane Package’ which is ahead of schedule and is expected to be released sooner than expected pending the time when more information becomes available for dissection.

When will the snow fully melt?

March 9, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged New England, Northeast, temperatures riseLeave a comment

The Northeast US, New England in particular, has average snow depths well over two and a half feet in many places, leaving the question, how long will the snow take to melt? Snow melt can take a while, especially if temperatures are below average and plummet to below freezing overnight. This means that for the Northeast this year whose temperatures are expected to stay well below average the snow may stick around well into mid-April for some places. The average snow to liquid ratio is 13:1, so for every 13 inches of snow there is about one inch of water, this could spell some flooding issues later on in the month as temperatures rise.

Watch out for black ice in the Northeast this week

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!

Warmup on its way!

March 6, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged forecasts, New England, Northeast, WeatherLeave a comment

After a snow event blanketed the Mid Atlantic and Southern New England with several inches of snow and left the Northeast to deal with some more cold temperatures, a warmup is on its way! Starting Saturday in most locations in the Northeast warmer temperatures will start to set in. For the first time in a while locations in New England will receive several days in a row of high temperatures above 40 degrees, but with low temperatures still much below the freezing line. This April is still expected to be cooler than normal in the Northeast, but is still going to be a big improvement for most places in and around New York City. As Hurricane Season 2015 approaches, Weather 360 will soon be offering a ‘Hurricane Package’ which more information about can be found on the ‘Atlantic Hurricane Season’ page.

Snow is falling in the Northeast… again

March 5, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, New England, Northeast, snow, snow event, winter storm, wintry weatherLeave a comment

It seems like the Northeast cannot catch a break! Currently it is snowing moderately in most of Connecticut, Southern New York, and most of the Mid-Atlantic. The snow in and around NYC will last until the early evening hours and will bring several more inches of the fluffy stuff that will accumulate on roads, grass, and roofs. Nothing more to say except that after the NWS’s back and forth with the timing and accumulation the storm did shift a little further to the north.

Be safe!

INCOMING!

March 4, 2015March 4, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged New England, Northeast, snow, Weather, winter storm, wintry weatherLeave a comment

There are many things that are incoming for the Northeast in particular. First off, if not by now then very soon rainy conditions in Southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic will changeover to a wintry mix then to all snow. The snow may dump up to 10 inches in Southern Connecticut and New York before exiting into the open waters of the Atlantic. The other incoming weather event for the Northeast will be the slightly warmer temperatures, although still below average in many places it will be warmer with highs above freezing in and around New York City settling in. Spring is coming, but just not very quickly. Warmer temperatures are coming!
