Better chance of rain as a coastal bring rains. Increasing signs of cold!

Looks like the area will continue a bit below average with a good chance of rain Thursday into Saturday. Warmer temps will be pumped up as a primary low up in Canada spawns a coastal storm.

After the storm finally clears this coming weekend, a very significant storm looks to form next week. I see a good chance of a real soaking rain and then the first Arctic outbreak of the season could come!

All for now!

Just a heads up on possible cold outbreak next week!

Some data is now coming in to line that shows next week could REALLY turn colder. I had hinted at this in previous posts, but just seeing more signs!

50s pretty much the rule this week. Rain chances Thursday and Friday

Just a few degrees below average temperatures expected most of the week. Closer to 60 in the south. It will be coolest (Lower 50s north) on Tuesday. Rain chances will increase Thursday into Friday. It does not appear that the temperatures will cool down after this system moves through. Another larger storm may develop next week and drop the temperatures.
 
Not much more to Add. Hurricane Paloma has weakened to a tropical storm. No other tropical activity at this time.

All for now

Paloma Strengthens more!

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 145 MPH...230
KM/HR...WITH HIGHER GUSTS.  PALOMA IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON SCALE.  LITTLE CHANGE
IN STRENGTH IS FORECAST UNTIL LANDFALL THEN STEADY WEAKENING SHOULD
OCCUR FOR THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.

FORECASTER BLAKE

I am back. And working on doing this daily again! Cooler air on the way- Rain - and then maybe really colder!

First: I am back. I want to make this a part of my life for me! I need something to break teh monotony of the day to day and I like Weather.

Second: The Forecast:
The front that extended from the Low that dumped the serious snow in ND and SD is swinging through. Showers have ended for areas west of the immediate coastal areas. It is headed through now.

The system will usher in some cooler air for the first part of the week! Then the models are all over the place. It looks like late in the week could become wuite wet with a low headed up the Appalachians. That could also bring much colder air down for the following week. So cool 40's and 50's through Wednesday.. some warming and then maybe some big rains. The next 24 hours should see clearing occur and temps pretty much in the 50s and night time getting back inti the 30 to 40 degree range, around 50 Southeast.

Longer Term: The colder air that may get unleashed next weekend may be REALLY cold. It bears some watching.

Tropics sould be done, but Paloma is turning at 140 mph winds! Amazing storm!

All for now!

Getting back on track after Hanna Flooding! More heavy rains possible later this week!

I have been really busy as usual. At the height of Tropical action I was in Florida. Of course, Hanna hit and caused flooding in my house which sat for 6 days until we got home. In less that 24 hours I had to turn around and head to Phoenix AZ and came back and now I am watching the water in the forecast and see a potential BIG event later this week! We do not need more water, but I do need to know if the things we did to avoid the water will work. We lost some stuff, but it could have been a lot worse!

Time to get back into the forecasts! -Tropical Madness

What an active time we have in the tropics. My hope is that Gustav wil not gain any strength again! He came down from a peak of 150 mph when he crossed Cuba. That being said, he is still very powerful system and he is going to come in west of New Orleans. He will still be powerful and my hope is that teh surge is not going too bad. My gut says, no matter what, New Orleans will be in bad shape!

I will start being more vigilent in my forum http://www.midatlanticweather.com/bb3/index.php?topic=1499.0

Now, Hanna! TS Hanna is starting to show a threat to the east coast! This could be a threat later next week. You can find more on Hanna here: http://www.midatlanticweather.com/bb3/index.php?topic=1500.0

That being said, the Eastern part of teh US is about to experience a heat wave whic will include 90s again for our region. That ridge is the same one that is pushing Gustav to move teh way he is. So look for a return to summer like conditions especially starting Tuesday. Today and tommorrow look nice!

Of note, the tropics look like they have 2 more disturbnces that could become storms in the next few days.

All for now!

Severe Storms likely today

A disturbance will move through the region today and cause storms which could be severe. Very heavy rains, hail, and high winds, and hail are the biggest threats. There could be some isolated tornadoes, especially in the east. Stay tuned to weather outlets for watches or warnings!

Nice day on tap- Storms possible tomorrow

Beautiful weather will be on tap today! Highs in the low mid 80s and low humidity.

Tomorrow will see a potential storm complex that could cause training of storms and flooding rains for northern areas and isolated severe storms.

All for now!

Severe weather possible this afternoon and evening

Severe weather is a strong possibility later this afternoon and evening. Hail and damaging winds are the biggest threat, but isolated tornadoes are also possible. The good news is that this is the beginning of a weather shift and very nice conditions are becoming more likely for this weekend! Stay tuned to your weather outlets for watches and/or warnings.

Heavy rains and severe weather

Ongoing scattered thunderstorms with locally intense rains will become more widespread today. The atmosphere is extremely saturated and storms have the capability of dropping several inches of rain in some locations which would cause flash flooding. On top of this, the atmosphere is unstable enough that damaging winds and hail in some storms is very likely! Please stay alert today! Stay tuned to weather outlets and NEVER drive through water that you see crossing over a street! This will be a very busy weather day!

Not the best July 4th forecast!

With increasing clouds and humidity, a front and a disturbance will link up later this afternoon and cause rain, some of which could be heavy, for the next 24 - 36 hours. There could be some localized flooding and some storms could be severe late today and tomorrow. Rain will be locally heavy where some storms train along the same areas!

Storminess will be more widespread this evening into the night and tomorrow.

Storms will continue to be possible through Tuesday and then finally a clearing front on Wednesday.

The Atlantic tropics gave birth to Bertha yesterday. She has strengthened, but will likely not pose a threat to land. It is possible she could reach minimal Hurricane, but right now she is expected to stay just below that strength. The Sea Surface temps are not the best for her to strengthen.

All for now!

Low humidity, but teh temps are climbing. July 4th has a better shot at rain!

Temps definitely will be warmer today as they climb to the 90 degree mark for most. Humidity really returns tomorrow and the 4th now has a pretty decent chance of showers and storms.

Tropics are starting to look interesting with a potential depression forming!

More to come!

Beautiful day on tap with low humidity and pleasant temps

You do not get too many like this in the midst of summer! Enjoy the upper 70s to lower 80s with plenty of sun. Temps go to the mid 80s tomorrow and towards the upper 80s later in the week. Friday through Sunday look seasonably warm and humid with a chance of storms each day!

 

All for now!
