We’ve got a lot to talk about between temperatures and thunderstorms today as well as wintry weather early next week. Let’s dive right in. The above animation is a WeatherBell Analytics (used with permission) precipitation radar simulation from the 12Z
I don’t think we’re looking at anything crazy. But in addition to the rain, enough convective instability/dynamics should exist on Thursday to warrant thunderstorms in the E. US ahead of the cold front. We have another strong low pressure system
High pressure will remain parked in the ocean off the mid-Atlantic and SE US. Strong areas of low pressure will continue to move through the Great Lakes into Canada. This setup will keep it very warm and rainy through Christmas
Another low pressure system is spinning from the northern-central US into Canada and dragging a cold front through the eastern US. A surface low pressure disturbance should form out of the Gulf of Mexico and ride this cold front through our
This weekend remains modeled as a transient cold shot of air. Next week however and into Christmas looks incredibly warm for late December. After the cold moves through, high pressure should then position itself off the mid-Atlantic coast as another
A sub-990mb occluded low is moving through the Great Lakes and will eventually transfer to SE Canada. The attached warm front laid down some light rain overnight and helped contribute to AM fog. Now, we’re in the warm sector of the
A strong area of low pressure will move through the Great Lakes and transfer to SE Canada. This will drag some precipitation through ahead of a cold front Monday night. It should clear out by Tuesday but then more rain
After next week’s ~Tuesday rain and ~Thursday-Friday coastal low potential, temperatures are expected to plunge below-average for next weekend. This, IMO will be a transient cold shot but the coldest and longest yet of meteorological winter (began Dec 1). I expect
What can I say? High pressure situated off the mid-Atlantic US coast will drive warm flow northward into our region through Monday. Let’s break it down. Friday (Dec 11) high temperatures should top out around 60 statewide. Expect a mostly sunny
After very warm temperatures this weekend, I think we’re at least looking at a transient colder period starting around December 15. Modeled teleconnections are indicating a period of -AO and -NAO between December 14-18. This would traditionally result in colder conditions
