Summer temperatures are on their way!

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

April 6, 2015April 6, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged forecasts, high temperatures, low temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, New York City Metro Area, Northeast, rain, rain showers, snowLeave 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!

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

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…

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

April 4, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, New York City Metro Area, Northeast, rain showers, severe storms, severe weatherLeave 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

April 3, 2015April 3, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, New York City Metro Area, Northeast, rain showers, severe storms, severe weatherLeave a comment

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.

Weather 360 news and days of storms ahead for the Mid Atlantic

First off today we will talk about the rain now, and of course, the potential for a several day long period of storms next week. Scroll to the bottom to also view some website news.

Back to the rain now

The rain falling across the Northeast today is apart of a large and widespread storm system moving across the United States right now. There is the potential for some of the severe storms to impact locations further south, especially in the Mid Atlantic. The severe storms could include some small hail, gusty winds, frequent lightning, and the slighter side of the potential for some isolated tornadoes or micro bursts (sudden areas of a large downdraft of wind, this causing a similar amount, but more isolated, damage of a weak tornado.) Be careful and heed all warnings.

The rain next week

Again, mainly closer to and in the Mid Atlantic will be the potential for rain and severe storms. The timing of the rain event will go as so:

First, there will be mainly rain showers starting later on during Monday, but from there the storms will start to become more severe and large. Likely by Tuesday though, the storms in the Mid Atlantic will become severe, spreading further north, but not with the same magnitude. The storms should begin to wrap up by Friday, bringing with that, warmer temperatures and sunny conditions. If you really want to see what spring has to offer, you likely are very eager for next weekend to arrive.

Heed all warnings, and stay safe!

Weather 360 news

Go to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHWTxO538BC1k2fTp8-Wn2A to view our YouTube channel, currently we only have our promotional video, but we are working on developing new videos to report on Northeast weather along with Atlantic Basin tropical (and, if considered a storm by the NHC, sub-tropical) cyclones. The videos will include some of the same, but definitely also different information than what is shown out our website along with Weather 360 announcements.

Watch out Northeast, there’s a storm brewing

April 2, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, National Weather Service, New England, New York City Metro Area, Northeast, rain showers, severe weatherLeave a comment

Over the next one or two weeks there is the possibility for a lot, and we mean a lot of rain and thunderstorms to arrive in the Northeast.

First, we would like to talk about the current rain and thunderstorms in the parts of the Northeast, especially Pennsylvania and New York. The current storms rolling across the two Northeast states are bringing with them some lightning, hail, and localized flooding. These same storms are expected to arrive in most of New England and eastern parts of the Mid Atlantic by tomorrow night, less severe, but will still bring a lot of rain to these areas. Watch out for some flooded roadways, including and especially underpasses and some tunnels with poor drainage. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH THESE ROADWAYS IF THEY ARE FLOODED, TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!

So to wrap it all up, be careful, and stay safe!

Spring time for real? Okay, but what do the computer models have to say about this?

April 2, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, New York City Metro Area, NortheastLeave a comment

Is it really spring?

Yes, it is springtime right now, but will winter’s wrath have that stand?

GFS computer model: This computer model is suggesting that warm temperatures will arrive and be in the Northeast to stay for at least a while after April 7th. Though, there is the potential for some snow in northern parts of the Northeast after that.

European (ECMWF or Euro) computer model: The European model does agree with the GFS for the most part, but instead of a steady stream of cold air for the northern parts of the Northeast US, the European model suggests more in the way of some cold spells that will affect parts of the Northeast (northern) and large portions of Canada.

Be careful, there may be some spotty black ice over the next several days, so stay safe!

The Latest: Milder temperatures coming, bringing with it some April showers

April 1, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, New York City Metro Area, Northeast, rain showersLeave a comment

Winter is well on it’s way to ending, but will still attempt to come back over the next several weeks, likely only to loose to the warm air once again. Watch out for some slick roads tomorrow.

The Latest: Warm temperatures

Starting tomorrow across the Northeast warm temperatures actually above average will start to settle in, helping to diminish any snow remaining in southern portions of New England. Most of the temperatures to be seen tomorrow will be around ten degrees above average, so about 60 degrees in most places.

The Latest: Rain, rain, and of course, more rain

Starting tomorrow evening, rain showers will start to move in and be in the Northeast to stay at least until Friday night. The system will bring with it generally two inches, with locally higher amounts across the Northeast. Be aware of the possibility of some isolated severe thunderstorms in this system.

Stay safe!
