Over the next several hours thunderstorms will begin to develop in the New York City metro area. Some of these storms could produce large hail and damaging winds, so please if you are caught in a severe storm take cover immediately to avoid any injury. Today there’s also the potential for flash flooding across all low lying areas and in areas near rivers or streams. Later today there’s also the potential for gusty winds to cause some downed trees and power outages. Be aware that at almost any time the National Weather Service may issue an advisory, a watch, or a warning.

Hurricane Season 2015

Although most of the major sources for forecasting the next hurricane season have been predicting a quiet, below average hurricane season, Weather 360 would like to remind everyone that it only takes one hurricane landfall to make a big difference across a wide area that could be anywhere on the Atlantic Basin coast from Maine to Texas.

Stay safe!

Severe storms tomorrow

Tomorrow there will be a line of severe storms moving through our area. Some of the severe storms could produce large hail and damaging winds in certain cells. The stormes will continue into the overnight hours and could be potentially dangerous even done so please heed all warnings set out by the National Weather Service. Even though tornadoes not very common in our area tomorrow there is the potential for some isolated storms capable of producing tornadoes and damaging winds. While operating Motor vehicles tomorrow please use extra caution due to the possibility of some downed trees and power lines from strong winds and heavy rains. Expect some watchers and possibly even some warnings to go up tonight and early next morning.

Be aware and stay safe!

Today as the storms move out, clear skies and mild temperatures move in. In and around Manhattan, temperatures will max out around 65 degrees, with not much difference even in temperature in further north counties.

Although conditions will be nice today, tomorrow some more showers will be moving through later on in the day. Some of these showers could develop into a thunderstorm or two. So don’t put those umbrellas away yet, rain is still coming…

Rainy and slippery morning commute for many this morning

For those about to be outdoors and driving, it my be a fairly good idea to bring along with you an umbrella if you already have not noticed…

The first large band of rain has already swept through the NYC Metro Area and will continue to move northeastward, whereas another, even larger band of heavy rain and thunderstorms is moving northeastward as well, straight towards the NYC Metro Area. Be on the lookout for the some thunderstorms, one or two of which may be severe, and also be careful while driving through heavy rain on roadways. Rain events such as this one are common throughout the spring season, but that doesn’t mean to neglect safety, so stay safe!

Rain is on the way!

Across the eastern portions of the US, rain and thunderstorms are moving northeastward, moving closer to their last US destination, the Northeast, that including the NYC Metro Area.

What do we think in terms of timing?

Tomorrow the heaviest rain and thunderstorms will likely occur near NYC around noon, but the rain will start a couple of hours earlier, steadily increasing until it beings to taper off around 4 PM (in the NYC Metro Area.) Although that rain will end before dusk, some thunderstorms on the back side of the system could impact some isolated areas later during the night tomorrow.

Over the next several days, a new system for forecasting that Weather 360 will be using will start to create more accurate and advanced forecasts.

We’ll keep you posted, stay safe!

Storms to line up near NYC… TOMORROW!

April 19, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged New York City Metro Area, rain, severe storms, springLeave a comment

Across the NYC Metro Area (TOMORROW) some thunderstorms are expected to line up near NYC, some of these thunderstorms will have the potential to be severe, causing delays and hazards on roadways and possibly some hail damage to vehicles and windows.

Tomorrow across the NYC Metro Area, temperatures will be right around 60 degrees along with the potentially severe and heavy rains.

Please exercise extra caution outdoors tomorrow and if a severe thunderstorms or a tornado watch or warning, take appropriate action, (meaning take cover immediately.)

Before this post wraps up, Weather 360 will be using a new system to derive our forecasts over the next week or so, hopefully and as expected, this new system will give more localized and more accurate forecasts for all of the 31 counties and 20 million people in and around New York City.

Stay safe, and enjoy the clear skies today!

In order to create much more accurate and detailed forecasts, Weather 360’s coverage area is downsizing to an area where most of those who use our website are, it is also the most populated metropolitan area in the Northeast United States and one of the largest in the country. The area we will be downsizing to is the New York City Metro Area. Weather 360 considers all areas that fall within the labeled map to be in the New York City Metro Area:

The NYC Metro Area, this map is from an assessment done by Columbia University recently. The area consists of 31 counties and more than 20 million people.

These changes will be going into effect immediately, but still, for anyone in areas across the Northeast with Red Flag Warnings, stay safe.

Although Weather 360 will now only cover weather for the NYC Metro Area, we still will be covering all the tropical disturbances every Hurricane Season for the Tropical Atlantic Basin.

Warm temperatures and red flag warnings

April 18, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, fire, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, New York City Metro Area, NortheastLeave a comment

Across the Northeast, the National Weather Service (NWS) has had to issue red flag warnings and hazardous weather outlooks due to the very dry (and warmer than average) conditions later on today creating the conditions that spread wild and brush fires due to any type of ignition. So, although today will be a very warm day, the NWS does not recommend anyone in the areas with red flag warnings or any type of advisory or alert to use matches or any type of ignition source outdoors due to risk of fire spread. So please refer to weather.gov to see if your area is at risk today.

So, enjoy the above average temperatures today, but be aware that there is an elevated risk for the spread of fire today.

Warm temperature invasion tomorrow!

For anyone who has been waiting for temperatures warmer than 70 degrees, tomorrow you’ll be glad.

Tomorrow across southern portions of the Northeast, temperatures could reach as high as 75 degrees. Some of these areas include the following; New Jersey, All of Pennsylvania except very northwestern portions, The NYC Metro Area, and other parts of southern New England.

For locations in the northern parts of the Northeast, temperatures will likely be at or above 50 degrees, warmer in areas in central portions of the Northeast though.

Although we would like to keep going on about the warmer, early summer-like temperatures, we would like to bring up that there is the possibility for a large rain event across the Northeast early on next week. Also, if anyone wants to know, the warm temperatures will go away after that storm…

We’ll keep you updated, and stay safe!

Okay, you can come out now, spring temperatures are really here!

April 11, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, Mid Atlantic, New England, New York City Metro Area, Northeast, severe weather, springLeave a comment

Spring is here!

For nearly all of New England and the Mid Atlantic, spring temperatures are here!

With temperatures in New York and Boston expected to soar into the upper 60’s and 70’s, spring must really be here to stay, right?

Well, at least for now, there is the possibility for a little cold dip in the next two weeks, but otherwise, spring temperatures will dominate. Although this week will be somewhat soggy, spring temperatures will be around to make going outside at least in a way bearable…

For today and tomorrow though, spring is here, enjoy it while it lasts!

That’s really all for now with no large severe thunderstorm events expected over the next two days, so stay safe!
