It seems as if for southern portions of the Northeast that yesterday’s snow was the last snow of the season. This may be true, but there is still the possibility for some more wintry mix and rain events this spring for northern parts of the Northeast. As spring and more mild temperatures slowly ooze their way back into the Northeast, the Arctic Jet Stream is ready to make it’s last moves on the northern Northeast.

When?
Over the next several days and couple of weeks would be the most likely time for a snow event to impact the northern Northeast. With temperatures warming, the window for snow in the Northern United States is closing up. Be prepared for warmer temperatures with the possibility of some cold infiltration over the next couple of weeks.

Above all, stay safe!

For anyone in the Northeast, it is quite obvious that there is a colder than average March this year. From the still melting snow to the newly fallen snow, winter’s wrath has obviously not ended yet.

The Latest: Temperature forecast for early spring

Currently, all over the Northeast, temperatures are well below average.

Way to state the obvious, but when will warm temperatures arrive?

As the information becomes more and more available, Weather 360 can more confidently state that later April and early May will be closer to the average and therefore mild side in way of temperatures. Still don’t put away the winter gear, winters wrath is not over yet.

The Latest: If you shouldn’t put the winter gear away yet, what does that mean for early April?

Early April is still expected to be cooler in way of temperatures, allowing for the possibility of some more snow to fall in the Northeast. We will keep you updated as more information comes out.

As the month of March begins to wind down, it seems as if the snow is picking up. In some eastern areas of New England, there may be several more inches of fresh snow on top of what ever is left after winter. Be aware of some possibly slick roads and reduced visibility due to snow.

Stay safe!

Over the past several decades, data has been collected about hurricane forecasts to see how they have changed over the years. As most of you may have guessed, in the Atlantic Basin and around the world Hurricane Forecasting errors over the past decades have decreased significantly.

The Latest: 2015 Hurricane Season Analysis

Due to the sharp decrease in forecasting errors (for hurricanes) over the past several decades, it is now clearer to forecast hurricane seasons well in advance with more accuracy than ever. First off, Hurricane Season 2015 is expected to at or near average. This may change though if there is a stronger El Nino to occur, but at the moment, the El Nino is relatively weak. The odds of a tropical disturbance impacting the Mid Atlantic or New England coastline may be slightly elevated, but is very different in terms of percentage wise than average. We will keep you updated as more information comes out.

The Latest: Warm temperatures, then cold temperatures again?

As spring sets in, winter is preparing to make it’s possibly final move on the Northeast US. The possibility of another dip in the Arctic Jet Stream is steadily increasing. So as previously mentioned, don’t put away the winter gear yet.

SPRINGTIME! Wait a second, more snow?… WINTERTIME!

Is winter coming back?

Springtime for now, but what about in a week or two.

The current computer models (again, especially the GFS) are suggesting that another large large dip in the Jet Stream is imminent, bringing with it, cold, winter temperatures, along with the possibility of some snow. As said many times before, DO NOT PUT AWAY THE WINTER GEAR! Or else you may be sorry if it snows again in your area.

Stay safe!

People want spring, people don’t want mud, people don’t like rain, complaints etc.

Why do people want something so badly, then complain about it all day?

This is what spring is: Mud, rain, mud, rain, warmer temperatures, rain.

Although it can be easy to understand why people may enjoy the warmer temperatures, why do people enjoy spring in general? Is it because it leads into summer? Is it because it leads out of winter? Overall, after a harsh winter, the reality is, people want to move around outdoors. That is what we have found on why people enjoy, but complain, about spring.

Across the Northeast today we advise to wear rain gear.

The Latest: Rain, warmer temperatures, is it really spring, or another cruel joke?

As bands of light to heavy rain along with some isolated thunderstorms begin to move into the Northeast, dense fog advisories along with the threat of some localized flooding are in place.

The Latest: Is spring really here to stay?

Well, technically, spring is here to stay until summer arrives, but, there is the potential for several more dips of the Jet Stream, bringing in some colder, Arctic air into portions of the Northeast (especially New England.) This means that maybe now is not the time to put all the winter gear away.

The Latest: Dense fog across the Northeast

Dense fog can create hazardous driving and travel conditions, especially during the evening and overnight hours. Be careful while outdoors in dense fog.

Stay safe!

Severe storms now, some snow showers later?

As a line of storms begins to move in from the Mid West, the potential for some snow showers on Saturday in New England has increased. Not much is currently expected in way of accumulation, but it is always a good idea to know what’s ahead. Also, today into tomorrow morning for most of New England and the Northeast there may be some severe thunderstorms. The potential for small hail is not very high, but there is a potential for some isolated locations of heavy rain and cloud to ground lightning. Cloud to ground lightning can be very dangerous, so, if you hear thunder while outdoors, please proceed to a safe structure to avoid any possibility of injury from the lightning. Early spring in the Northeast has been fairly unusual, starting out with a snowstorm dumping as much as eight inches across New England, and then all the temperature fluctuation between very cold and mild.

Please exercise extra caution while outdoors during stormy weather, and as always, stay safe!

Snow and rain heading for the Northeast today into Friday

For the next few days across the Northeast there will be rainy and overcast conditions, but in the mountains in New Hampshire, Vermont, and most of northern Maine, there is the potential for several inches of snow.

The timing of this event: Around NYC and Boston, the rain will begin later today as showers and possibly have a break sometime tomorrow before starting up again tomorrow night into Friday morning.

What about the snow?: In areas closer to the Canadian border, such as the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, there is a potential for cold enough air to mix in with the precipitation and cause a snow event. This storm is not expected to be anything huge, but if you happen to be in an area expected to see snow, exercise extra caution while outdoors especially on road, and as always, stay safe!

Special: Why is it so cold in the Northeast?

When will winter ever end?!

Soon, at least hopefully, if the latest run of the GFS model proves correct…

What does the latest model run say then? Well, at the 384 hour mark, the GFS is suggesting that a large swatch of mild air will arrive in the west of the US and Canada and flooding the rest of the US with more mild, spring-like temperatures. There is also the potential for a snow event for inland portions of New England in the next two weeks.

Well keep you posted and stay safe.
