The second round of this wintry mess is arriving in the Mid Atlantic and Southern New England tonight into tomorrow evening. The storm will bring some rain at first, changing to a wintry mix briefly before turning over to all snow by 2am in most places north of Trenton, New Jersey, (the changeover may take place a little later to places immediately south of Trenton.) The storm could dump around three to six inches of snow in the New York City Metro area before making its way into the Atlantic. Weather 360 would just like to put it out there for anybody who would enjoy spring weather right now, the temperatures on the East Coast and most of the Mid West will start to rise, although still much below average in some spots it will be a little warmer and a nice change after this brutally cold winter, (Southern Florida this does not go for you…)

Wintry mess makes it’s move on the Northeast
By now if you live in the Northeast you likely are seeing some snow falling out your window. This same snow event will likely change over to rain tonight and taper off tomorrow midday as a couple of rain showers. Beware! Although the rain will taper off in the Northeast there is another part of the storm coming in right behind it for the Northeast (mainly New England and New York.) This second part of the storm will bring at first a wintry mix overnight quickly transitioning to all snow during Thursday dumping possibly over six inches of snow in some places and tapering off in and around New York City by the afternoon hours and during the evening for Boston and the Cape.
Weather 360 urges everyone to use extra caution if outdoors and stay safe!
Sorry US, winter isn’t over yet
A winter storm is currently making its way down the slopes of the Rockies and into the Midwest before moving into the Northeast US to bring possibly up to six inches of snow on top of up to three feet already burying some spots by Tuesday Night. The storm while in the Northeast US will bring snow at first, then a wintry mix, then some rain, and a short lull before the next round of snow and wintry mix moves into New England Wednesday into Thursday. So keep your shovels at the ready and your salt at hand because winter is not over yet.
Stay safe!
The end of winter is in – wait nevermind
Did you say this at all in the past several weeks? If you did Weather 360 would like to tell you that this April is forecasted to be cooler than normal if you live in the Northeast. The winter weary Northeast of the United States has just received about six to ten inches in the New York City Metro Area which created a complete mess on I-95 northbound and southbound according to reports. All the snow forecasted last night actually fell in the early evening hours surprising many. Now Weather 360 said that the end of winter is in sight, but we also said nevermind that. That is true, the end of the wintry weather in the Northeast is likely going to happen by mid-April, only after the Northeast goes through just a few more storms. One of these storms is expected to impact the northeast with snow, ice, freezing rain, and rain from Tuesday into Thursday dumping possibly another several inches of snow along with some ice. For the rest of the US spring-like weather may arrive sooner than mid-April, but in most of Canada especially Newfoundland and northern Canada winter-like weather may start to end a little later than normal.
About that forecasted few inches…
Well, reports from I 95 northbound and southbound in and around the Connecticut coast have shown that a few more than “a few inches” has already fallen. The NOAA has updated their storm totals amount about eight hours after the storm. The NOAA started to say that now Long Island and coastal Connecticut and Rhode Island will now receive as much as eight inches of snow in what was the two to three inch range for the time before the storm and into the storm about eight hours then Winter Storm Warnings were issued for parts of coastal Connecticut and all of Long Island. This winter has really proven to the public to prepare for the absolute worst and hope for the best (in the Northeast it has really mainly been the worst this winter.)

What can make a winter storm forecast incorrect?
What can make a winter storm forecast incorrect?
In winter storm forecasts there can be many different reasons for an inaccurate weather prediction out out by a weather organizations. One of these reasons is likely the most common one, some organizations pick and choose one particular forecast model(s) they think are the most accurate but then the forecast model just happens to have gotten the forecast for that one storm wrong. Occurrences such as the one just explained can happen creating mistrust between some forecast models and weather organizations which can lead to more in accurate predictions. The best way any organizations can likely avoid that is to compare most if not all of the forecast models available at the same level first, then weigh the forecast slightly so the more accurate forecast models have a little more in the say in what may happen in a particular storm. In rare occurrences such as one that occurred in the New York City Metro Area very recently was the “Blizzard of 2015” which was expected until several hours after the storm started, to dump over two feet of snow in places in Southwestern Connecticut. The next day the weather services happened to see that only about ten inches of snow actually fell during the storm with barely any wind. In that storm nearly all the major models got it wrong, but in the following storms, several forecast models which got the “Blizzard of 2015” very wrong, got the very next storm very right, this can happen often so the best way to go if you are creating a weather prediction is to take most if not all forecast models available into account.
