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!

Special: Weather 360’s analysis of the rest of spring outlook from the NOAA

April 6, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, high temperatures, low temperatures, Northeast, severe storms, severe weatherLeave a comment

The NOAA’s spring outlook discussion may seem a bit complicated, so in this post, Weather 360 will break down the main points of the discussion to tell you what spring 2015 will turn into for the Northeast.

Temperatures in the Northeast

The outlook basically says that slightly above to around average temperatures will be predominant in the Northeast. The discussion along with other sources from the NOAA imply that the warmer to near average temperatures may enhance the risk, likely not by much, of there being more storms (some severe) in the Northeast later this season.

Precipitation

For the Northeast, the amount of precipitation this spring will be very close if not at average this spring. Although temperatures will be close to average, flooding will be at an enhanced risk this season in northeastern parts of New England, where the snow pack is still melting. Be aware this month of some flooding in northern locations in New England.

Stay safe, and enjoy the season while it lasts!

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

April 6, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, NortheastLeave 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…

No, not raining on your parade, it is a parade of rain… (and some snow…)

April 5, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, Northeast, rain showers, severe weather, snowLeave a comment

In a few hours, next week will begin, with the new week, will be a parade, not a normal parade, but more of a parade of rain events for the Northeast.

This week, mainly from Tuesday to Friday, there will be a few different storm systems very close in terms of time to each other that will dump a few inches of rain from Maine to Maryland. Be aware of the potential for some severe storms, and some snow (WHY!) in locations such as upstate New York and Maine. Some cold air will create some snow in only some areas in the locations mentioned. Be on the lookout for slippery roads from the snow hit areas, even into areas only impacted by showers and thunderstorms due to the rain. Stay safe!

Rain + warm temperatures = spring?

April 5, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, low temperatures, Northeast, rain showers, severe storms, temperatures riseLeave a comment

Is it true that spring equals warmer temperatures plus rain?

Most people do not enjoy acknowledging the fact that rain comes with the milder, temperatures, maybe because most people do not like being trapped inside by the mud, but that’s is just a suggestion…

Today though, for anyone wondering what the timing of the rain will be and what the temperatures will be, please read ahead.

Today temperatures in southern parts of New England and most of the Mid Atlantic will be around 60 degrees, while in northern portions of New England and New York will likely stay closer to 40 or 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

The timing of the rain

By the afternoon in the Mid Atlantic, some showers will start to move in, but not intensify until overnight. For places in New England, especially in eastern parts, the rain will probably not start to mid-evening or night as some showers. There is still the possibility for some stray thunderstorms later today so please, heed all warnings set out by the National Weather Service.

As about every post, stay safe!

Dry conditions for everywhere but Maine in the Northeast for now…

April 4, 2015April 4, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged amount of snow, Atlantic Hurricane Season, current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, Mid Atlantic, New England, New York City Metro Area, Northeast, rain showers, severe weather, snowLeave 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

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!
