About two hours ago, I would’ve had a more confident, concise opinion about the storm movement toward a more dominant inland low. However, some of the 12z guidance has shifted more emphasis on the coastal low, and the overarching message is then again, there is not enough information on how the energy transfer is happening …

Arctic Cold & Impending Storm
We have a lot on the table for the holiday. weekend; another cold blast of arctic air and an impending low pressure system that a little temperamental. This cold blast may not be as deep as the previous, but the timing is not helpful. We’ll have the heart of it in the Northeast Friday night …
The Week Ahead – Arctic Blast Takes Hold
There’s not too much more to this week than the cold. Some of the lowest temperatures seen in the last 4-5 years will be rivaled in the next 48 hours. Pept0-pink is always exciting on snowfall maps, but not quite as welcomed on temperature maps. Wind Chill Warnings and Advisories are in place for much …
Long Term Views 1/7
It was a lackluster storm today, but it was something! Most areas received 1-3″ of very light and fluffy snow out of this system. We’ll see some upslope snow showers continue into the overnight hours in New England. We have another weak system of mixed precip/light snow on Sunday before the arctic front comes through …

The Euro has not been performing well with this pattern and the winter as …
New Years Weekend System
I wanted to provide a quick update to following the discussion on this system in the Monday blog. As expected, models have had a terrible time distinguishing features in this system. With the multiple lows and upper air interactions, it’s been quite a mess to analyze. However, also as we discussed, it would be on …
Long Term Views
A quick note on the long term views ahead of the holiday weekend… After a temperate week between Christmas and New Year’s, it’s likely for us to see a return to some cooler temperatures for the first week of January. We have the SE ridge that continues to build in the coming week, and starts …
Christmas Storm System
We’ve been keeping close tabs on this Christmas storm system for quite some time now. The SE ridge has had a significant impact on storm tracks and models seem to be confused by storm progression, strength, and overall structure of systems moving overtop the ridge into the Atlantic. By Christmas afternoon, the showers have moved …
The Week Ahead – Unstable Temps, Several Storms
With this progressive pattern into the holiday weekend, we’re seeing wild movements in temperatures as air masses quickly move in and out of regions, which means a continuation of non-diurnal temperature patterns with rising overnight temperatures and falling daytime temperatures becoming commonplace through Thursday. We’ll have two low pressure systems moving through the eastern half …
