rain showers – Page 2

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

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!

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.

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.

Soggy Northeast today, tomorrow, and just when it is all dry, more rain next week

April 3, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, rain showers, severe storms, severe weatherLeave a comment

By the end of today, most of the dry places in the Northeast will be soggy and damp with rain. If it has not already rained or started raining near you in the Northeast, be ready for some spring time showers coming your way.

The severe side

Today there is the potential for some severe thunderstorms to impact some locations in the Northeast, especially towards the southern end of the region. These thunderstorms, although not likely capable now, are the same if not the ones near other thunderstorms in the Mid West that created some tornadoes. To our knowledge, it is not likely for a location in the Northeast to sustain a tornado (visit our ‘Terms to Know’ page for the NWS definition), even a fairly weak one. Remember though, there is always the potential a tornado, so heed all NWS service watches and warnings (most of them though will just tell you to take shelter, which is always a good idea, especially in a severe storm of any kind.)

If you see a flooded roadway, do not drive through it, the depth of the water could be much greater than what your eyes decide. TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN! (It seems you will hear that a lot on TV when they talk about rain.)

On that note, stay safe!

The Latest: Warmer temperatures, rain, thunderstorms, spring is here to stay

April 2, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged high temperatures, rain showers, severe storms, severe weatherLeave a comment

Spring has liberated the following areas from winter: Most of the Northeast, and the rest of the mid latitude parts of the US as a whole…

The Latest: SPRING IS HERE TO STAY!

Sorry Vermont and Quebec, the maple season was a short one, with temperatures so warm for so long, with then a two month blast of below freezing temperatures, then a sudden warm up to wrap up and purge winter from the area.

The Latest: Tomorrow’s rain

Although today may have been considered the first real spring day for the Northeast this season, spring does have its drawbacks…

One of these drawbacks, of course, includes the constant threat of showers and some severe thunderstorms, which is exactly what the Northeast will experience tomorrow along with the milder temperatures.

The Latest: Hurricane season is still ongoing in the Pacific

There is a currently equivalent of a category 3-4 hurricane swirling away near the Philippines, which is its target. Fortunately for them, the storm will weaken to around a category 2 status, with winds around 110 MPH. This storm will cause severe flooding in some areas there, and they should be ready for a storms surge possibly over 10 feet in most coastal regions.

Sorry for the delay in this post, there were some maintenance issues, stay safe!

Watch out Northeast, there’s a storm brewing

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!

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!

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?

March 26, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged Northeast, rain showersLeave a comment

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!
