Nor'easter on tap for Sunday Into Monday. Heavy Rains, Winds, Mountain snow, coastal floods and very low tides!

The most important note here is that this is a big system and the rains and high winds will likely be the concern around most of the Mid Atlantic.
Highlights:

1. Areas from the Virginia border and southward could see severe thunderstorms with some tornadoes possible later Saturday and early Sunday.
2.Very heavy rain for the Piedmont of Virginia up the 95 corridor with areas receiving 1-3" in Lower Virginia up to 3"+ amounts in Northeastern Virginia and Eastern Maryland up through Pennsylvania
3. Winds will become more and more of an issue Sunday as the Low gets very strong just off the Delmarva area. This will mean power outages and some structural damage possible.
4. Snows will really start to impact the Mountains Later Sunday into Monday with areas seeing 4-8" with isolated higher elevations seeing 12"+. The other factor here will be the high winds (Wind Warning Criteria likely) causing almost blizzard like conditions and tree damage.
5. Coastal Flooding may be somewhat limited, but Bay side flooding is possible as the storm continues high NW winds for a long period of time. this could also mean very low tides with teh offshore winds!

This storm will bring a blizzard to Interior Northern Pennsylvania up through the Middle of New York and New England! Expect travel issues Sunday and Monday from grounded planes due to high winds and snow!

There is a slight possibility that colder air could eventually wrap into the system and cause a brief change to or mix with snow in the Piedmont of Virginia as well. NO accumulations expected.

All for now!

Major Spring Storm to affect area with very heavy rains, high winds, coastal flooding, Snow?

A very serious storm system appears to about to take an aim on the Mid Atlantic. Starting tomorrow conditions will all start to come together for a action packed weekend of weather!

The threats:
1. Heavy Rains/Flooding: Would not be surprised to see 3 to 6" of RAIN especially east of I -95
2. Heavy winds: Friday will be breezy and cool. Saturday will see an increase in winds as the storm begins taking shape. Sunday and Monday will be raw and windy with Coastal flooding a real possibility
3. Coastal Flooding: A prolonged time of heavy rains and winds will cause beach erosion and and flooding.  Please stay tuned to  news and radio outlets for your region
4. Severe Storms: The Best threat here would be far Southeastern Virginia and North Carolina. It is a threat though that should be monitored!
5. SNOW? Yes, I would especially be concerned in teh higher elevations, but, if dynamics really become strong, and they very well could, a switch over to all snow could occur for the immediate piedmont up to the 95 corridor before ending!

This is a serious storm and many watches and warnings will be coming out the next few days. Please heed news/radio/and weather outlets for the potential dangerous conditions this weekend!

All for now!

 

Unrelenting Colder than Normal temps continue!

Summary: We had some great early warm weather a week ago, but things have turned much much colder (as we all know) and it does not really look to go back above normal for at least another week, if not a week and a half! In the meantime, a potent storm will ride up west of the Appalachian mountains. Heavy rain and some wind will likely accompany! This will be tomorrow afternoon into the evening. We dry out and look to go to a closer to normal (though still below) through the weekend with yet more rains possible both Saturday and Sunday. Next week doe not look as cold as this one started off being, but highs remaining between 5 and 10 degrees below normal does seem to be the way things will play out!

Not the fun Spring forecast by any means!

All for now!

4/5 DC/MD/VA SNOW ALERT

First time in the last 4 years I am issuing a SNOW alert in April! CRAZY!!!!! This one is an odd one where areas east of 95 from Richmond up to Baltimore. The place that really could get some accumulations....YES.. Accumulations, would really be the eastern Shore! It sounds crazy but areas could see a dusting to as much as 3 inches! Areas along the I-95 would see a potential dusting. This would happen tomorrow night!

All for now!

Weather WILL Warm... Yes I may have Spring Fever Friday!

As I told my boss today, this "Friday LOOKS GOOD" for golf as temps should make it into the 70s up north and even 80s in the south.

First a Pesky front this evening will come through and cause some showers. In New England this could be their last shot at a snow. Temperatures will again be almost the same as they were today for Tomorrow. Then Wednesday a little Dip below norms (5-10 degrees)... But do not fret as temps will jump above Normal Thursday and then Friday Saturday and Sunday *COULD* be beautiful..

FLIES in the ointment for Spring!  A beautiful weekend forecast this far out and this early in Spring always has me concerned. I mean, the forecast models look decent, but the Ocean's colder air and the dreaded Back Door Cold front always concerns me! This occurs when wind comes off the ocean and causes clouds and colder weather east of the mountains! I am not saying this will happen this weekend, but ALWAYS be on guard this time of year for it to mess up a sunny and warm forecast!

All for now!

Weather slowly turning to warmth

The weather should remain pretty chilly through mid week. A front will provide a chance of showers Monday. Milder and above normal temperatures by the end of the week!!

 

SUMMARY: Kind of wild March we are having. The total I had on Friday night was around and inch, and, for the most part my forecast was pretty valid. The higher elevations definitely had more than my original thoughts! We start with another front coming through Monday. temperatures will be about normal for the region. Wednesday appears to dip a little in temps and then a warm up as we head towards the weekend although showers could visit us next Saturday.

 

As we head into Spring Severe Weather Alerts should take over and no more winter weather alerts! The Spring will likely be active for the Middle part of the country and not as much in the east. If the current forecasted and developing La Nina pattern develops a dry summer may be on tap as time wears on!

3/15 DC/MD/VA Accumulating Snows are Possible

Accumulating Snows are Possible

 

Accumulating Snows are possible in Areas West of Washington DC up to Baltimore tomorrow night. Areas could see 1-4" with higher totals in the higher elevations. 

 

This will come after a very heavy rainfall and warm ground temperatures should offset some of the total potentials!

 

This could change, but it may actually become a snowier forecast than a less snowy one!

 

All for now!

WInter Weather Alert: 1-3" more likely

After reviewing forecasting models this morning I have lowered my totals to a general 1-3" in the area immediate and just to the west and north of the Washington DC, to Baltimore Maryland line. Some areas may see up to 4", but the general rule will be 1-2 inches with isolated 3 inch amounts. It still will be snowing during the morning commute and the ground has really cooled due to temps in the teens and lower 20s last night. Trace amount north of Charlottesville to Fredericksburg up to the DC metro area

 

Stay tuned!

COLDER WEATHER WILL SLOWLY GIVE WAY TO A WARMER ZONAL PATTERN. THIS WILL BE IT FOR WINTER 2006 - 2007

---

Summary: So.. this is how it ends. Many in Central Virginia and eastward never really had a snow this year.. Northern VA finished below normal, but had some late action that helped it not be so bad. Colder start to the week will end milder. This time, as things get warmer the truly cold air retreats and the pattern goes through a major shift! 60s and some 70s could visit as soon as next weekend in teh south. 50s to lower 60s in the north!

Very heavy rains with some thunder! Some flooding possible!

---

Summary: Spring storms will blanket the middle of the country and the south while a triple point low rains like crazy washing winter snow and ice away! Tomorrow rain will overspread the area and tomorrow night be heavy at times with thunder in the mix!

Current amounts range from 1-2" but i feel there may be 3-4" totals in parts of the region. No snow this time! Temperatures Friday will be "warmish" with many 60s and upper 50s. Colder air will come back for several days and then maybe a true warm up towards next weekend!

Snowfall ended and now just rain..some freezing rain. Quite the Surprise! Sorry I did not update today, but, quite honestly, I went out and played! Exciting winter event with the most snow in the region this winter! I mentioned in a post in the forum that there could be heavier snow up Maryland, well, it came south and many in Virginia saw some good snow! I measured a little over 5" on the deck before the rain. Reports up to 10" in higher elevations! Exciting! So it was a miss, but an enjoyable one for me and beats Ice any day! There is the "Potential" for more mixture later this week, but right now, I would not bet on it!

DC/MD/VA Icy Mess on Sunday

DC/MD/VA Icy Mess on Sunday

Sleet and Freezing Rain event for the areas of Harrisonburg to just west of Leesburg up to north of Baltimore. Northern Maryland west of 95 closer to the Frederick Maryland area could see a burst of heavy snow before a mix. 1-3" of slop 20 miles either side of the line discussed, but the heavy snow areas could see 2-4" with isolated 6"

A mix is possible all the way down to Richmond and west to Roanoke with areas just east of teh Mountains seeing the most whereas most areas will see a switch to plain rain along the I-95 corridor . Draw a line from Roanoke up to Charlottesville and straight up to Dulles Airport to BWI and areas east of this should see a change over early enough to be a nuisance. The Immediate valleys of the Apps up to Charlottesville will see enough for storm warning criteria.

All I have for now!

SLEETY/ICY MESS for Northern VA up through Marylyand and PA snows

Sorry I have been delayed on posting.. it does appear that a Moderate Icing event will unfold Early Sunday morning. A mixture of first snow, then sleet and freezing rain will visit the region again. There is a possibility of moderate icing! Much about this storm could change and there are hints at some colder air at start which could mean some real snow, but right now, sleet and freezing rain look to be the main precip type. The main locations again will be 20 miles either side of a line from just north of Charlottesville to just west of Leesburg, northeast up to Baltimore County in Maryland stretching up to Philadelphia. Snow is possible North of these areas in Maryland, but especially Pennsylvania. 

 

Much more to be considered and more details tomorrow!

 

Again, this is for Sunday, though freezing drizzle could be occurring Sunday night into Monday morning.

 

All for now!

SERIOUS COLD DAYS ARE ALMOST A MEMORY AS WE HEAD TOWARDS WHAT APPEARS TO BE MILDER PATTERN BY THE MIDDLE AND LATE PART OF THE WEEK. SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE COMMON TODAY. THE MOUNTAINS COULD SEE A GOOD SHOT OF SNOW WEDNESDAY. THEN MILDER 50S MAYBE EVEN A 60 DEGREE READING TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK.

---

Summary: The serious cold days look limited now. we have made it through the deepest part of winter when we usually get our biggest snow. We missed teh big snows from the last storm, but New England was hammered with as much as 30" of snow! A dying clipper will traverse the area and re-establish slightly colder conditions through Monday and then a then upwards on temperatures. There COULD be a mix of rain and snow Wednesday Night and/or Thursday, but odds favor rain except in the Mountains. After this, teh pattern changes set up up for milder, above normal temperatures!
