The area received a widespread 3”-6” of snow through the course of the day today. There is more moisture that will likely affect the region tomorrow. We’ll let you know what areas got the most and how much more to expect. We also take a look at the upcoming weekend.

A train of weak low pressure systems is going to move up the coast the next couple of days. This will result in two rounds of accumulating snowfall and a messy mix in between. We’ll let you know how much you’re going to get and when it will all be over.

Yesterday’s storm brought rain, fog, and mild temperatures to the region, with minimal icing. In our weather education segment we discuss why fog results in snow melting so rapidly. We then discuss a heavy accumulating snowfall expected on Thursday.

A storm near the region tonight could give the area some freezing rain. A similar system will affect us on Thursday, but subtle differences may make this a snow maker instead. We also analyze how the pattern has changed and what this lack of blocking is going to mean.

The pattern that we’re in is going to continue for the first half of this week. Low level cold air, weak lows, and warm air aloft will produce freezing rain. The most significant icing could come with a system Monday night. Cold air becomes more entrenched during the midweek, and snow is possible Thursday.

An area of freezing rain is expected to develop overnight tonight with a weak low offshore and lots of dry air aloft. The block has broken down and storms will be free to pass to our west this week. Lots of low-level cold air will reside just to our north and potentially turn some of these warm track systems to produce freezing rain.

Arctic high pressure to our north and a southwest flow aloft are going to butt heads the next few days. Light overrunning precipitation is expected later tomorrow and Sunday morning. A long duration of freezing drizzle may occur until later Monday night when a strong system affects us. This could become a heavy freezing rain or sleet event. I’ll break down what the most likely scenario is.

A low pressure system is going to go to our south tonight and bring us an accumulating snowfall. Bitterly cold air takes over for Friday and Saturday. Model mayhem abounds for Sunday with the evolution of another possible snow event.

In this episode we recap the snowfall that we’ve seen so far this year and discuss where we stand with regards to normal. We then look at a light snow and rain event tomorrow. We also analyze how the upper flow is realigning and what that could mean in terms of arctic cold and snow later in the week.

The winter storm that we had this Sunday had wrapped and in many cases amounts finished in lines with our earlier projections. This week will feature arctic air to our north and an active storm track across the mid-Atlantic. We will have several distinct opportunities for snow, including one on Tuesday and a prolonged event for Thursday and Friday that could wind up as ice.

Another snowfall is taking aim on NYC and Long Island. We’ll time it out for you and let you know how the forecast has evolved since yesterday. We also will discuss what areas might be in for a surprise in the storm.

A coastal system is likely to bring accumulating snow to the area during the day on Sunday. We’ll let you know when it’s going to begin and how much we expect to receive. Arctic air is coming in for next week. Happy Weatherpersons’ Day, fellow forecasters!

In this episode we analyze what occurred yesterday in the storm and see how the forecast fared. We also look at the next few days and a couple of storms in the cards. In our weather-education segment we discuss what a snow ratio is and how to calculate one.

Snow is developing across the area as we speak. This will evolve into a long duration, heavy precipitation event with high winds and coastal flooding. We’ll let you know how much these amounts are going to vary across the region. 12”-18” is expected in some spots. Also, Tuesday is Groundhog’s Day!

A potent and slow-moving coastal storm will provide NYC and Long Island with heavy snow, gusty winds, and coastal flooding. Double-digit snowfall amounts are possible! We’ll let you know when it’s going to start and stop and when we might observe blizzard conditions.

A long-duration winter weather event is likely later Sunday night and potentially lasting into Tuesday. We’ll let you know what track we think the storm is going to take and take an early prediction at accumulation amounts.

An arctic high pressure system is moving into the region tonight. Sub-zero wind chills will be common tomorrow morning and Saturday morning along with gusty winds. The potential for an accumulating snowfall Sunday night into Tuesday continues to grow. We’ll time it out and let you know what the most uncertain parts of the forecast still are.

The coldest air mass of the season will arrive in the east for Friday and Saturday with sub-zero wind chills. The arrival of this air mass might herald in a new, snowier, pattern. A storm that will bring record snow to California tomorrow will also make its way to near our area by Sunday night.

For Tuesday a weak storm system will linger around the region and could produce some treacherous mixed precipitation. A stronger storm will be safely offshore on Thursday but will be close enough to bring an arctic airmass into the region by the end of the week. Yet a third winter storm could threaten us by Sunday.

As we go into the week ahead, we will start off with seasonable and dry weather. We’ll have a mixed bag of precipitation for Tuesday and Wednesday with a weak storm. We’ll then be watching a potent nor’easter that will be just offshore on Thursday. A true arctic outbreak, the first one of the winter, looks like it will come in for Friday and next weekend.

We have two winter weather events possible for the upcoming week. While we may get mostly rooked by the first one, there is a second storm on Thursday that could become a meteorological bomb! How far north will it get?

In this episode we will look at a change to below-average temperatures this weekend. We also look at how our blocking pattern might change to allow for at least one snow event early next week.

An Alberta clipper is going to affect us tomorrow morning. Locally blizzard-like conditions could occur! We’ll time it out for you and let you know what to expect for the rest of the day.

In this episode we look at the week ahead and into next weekend. A few disturbances will bring flurries to the region, but the temperatures will be near average. A much busier pattern, which we will preview, could begin as early as one week from today.

In this episode we discuss how the current pattern we’re in is leading to dry and seasonable conditions. We then discuss the forecast through the rest of the week and the weekend, including when we will actually get precipitation
