Arctic Flood Gates Are Open For Business

1/16/2019

Satellite + radar shows disturbance # 1 moving out of Rockies and will bring light snow to Northeast by Friday. Storm # 2 just off West Coast should be a blockbuster as it moves across The Nation this weekend.
Chicago could see over 6" of snow....but from the No. Appalachians to New England - they will be measuring in feet. Big Cities along I 95 from Boston to Phily will see everything including flash freezing which will make travel hazardous on Sunday. Below - expected snowfall and rainfall through Monday.

A Disruptive Winter Storm In The Making....

Above...satellite + radar shows the storm that dumped snow in the Mid Atlantic is moving out to sea. A new storm in California will come across the Nation is 2 pieces. First...arrives on East Coast Friday....second...a bigger storm..late Weekend for Eastern sections. Track of that 2nd storms still "ify" but looks like ice and snow to the north of track - rain to south. By Monday...next week..the floodgates to the arctic open up.

Snow From Ohio Valley to Mid Atlantic

1/11/2019

Satellite/radar shows a storm in SOuthern Plains. It will head east and bring a swath of snow to Ohio Valley - 2"-4"....and then across the Mid Atlantic...with similar amounts of Washington DC on east. NYC may only see a coating...New England nothing. Below - expected snowfall and rainfall for the next 5 days.

Animated maps above show a storm moving out of the Plains into Ohio Valley Friday with snow. That snow likely to affect the Mid Atlantic Saturday night into Sunday. The northern extent may graze New York City...otherwise nothing big for the major cities. Below - high temperatures for Friday.

Gradually Colder.....

1/8/2019

One system pushing through Northeast today...snow - New England - some rain Mid Atlantic. Next system in Great Lakes will bring rain most of the Northeast. System approach west coast could mean a storm for The East on Sunday. Below - today's risk of thunderstorms in green.

Below- snowfall predictions through Saturday night....rainfall into Sunday.

Below - animated maps for next 2 days followed by high temperatures for Wednesday.

Below - tough call for Northeast/Mid Atlantic this weekend. GFS Model insisting on coastal storm....Euro model saying no....staying well south and off shore. Euro has been more consistent than GFS....but that doesn't mean much. Wait and see. Be safe.

Old Man Winter Slowly Awakens....

1/7/2019

Satellite + radar shows a front moving across the Great Lakes which will bring a wintry mix changing to some rain across The East. Pieces of cold air will follow behind this system mid to late week. Below - expected snowfall and rainfall for next 5 days.

Animated maps for next couple of days. There will be 2 systems heading toward the East for late this weekend. Hard to say if they will join up and become a coastal storm...but it is not out of the question.

Below - high temperatures for Tuesday. Be safe.

On The Mild Side - Nation-wide

1/4/2019

Satellite/radar shows quite a storm in lower Mississippi Valley. Normally at this time of year it would be one big winter storm...but air over Nation is only marginally cold...so not expecting much from this one. It will bring rain up the East Coast thru Saturday. Below - today's risk of severe weather in dark green - followed by animated maps for next 2 days.

Below - snowfall and rainfall expected over the next 5 days.

Old Man Winter Takes It Easy....

Satellite radar shows some light snow/rain flying through the Northeast...rain from Carolinas to Gulf Coast. New system coming into The Northwest. Below - today's risk of severe weather in green.

Below - snowfall and rainfall expected over next 5 days.

Below - animated map next couple followed by high temperatures for Friday. Right now ...cold air is lacking over the U.S. There are indicators that would point to more of a wintry pattern returning prior to end of January.....so easy now....but that should change. Be safe.
