Temperatures overall will remain below average for the first 10-14 days of May. Below average is still relatively warm when it comes to ski season and snow preservation, but there will still be some small opportunities for high elevation snow going through mid-month. However, there will be higher chances of widespread rain, more specifically on …

The Week Ahead 4/25
The main feature this week is a cut-off low, which initially brings showers as early as Tuesday morning to the region. Several waves of energy circle around the low this week. However on Wednesday, we’ll see a push of cold air to come in and provide higher changes of snow at higher elevations from Wednesday …
The Week Ahead 4/18
There’s one major story in the weather this week… and it’s Old Man Winter’s visit to a broad region of New England. This brings fairly decent accumulating snow in NW NJ/Poconos, Catskills, Adirondacks, and finally the Green and White mountains before pushing through Maine. A fair amount of heavy, wet snow is expected. This will …

While next week certainly looks below average to start, especially with a possible wintry system arriving on Tuesday, there’s some consensus that we finish the week off well below average. Moving into the final week of the month, there’s less agreement on if the eastern trough hangs tough (which has been the trend for the …

No April fools joke here, but we’re not seeing much of any resurgence of cold air beyond the first week of April. We’ll be seasonably cool (not cold…) into the first week of the month, but gradually have conditions moderate. The second week of the month will be more of a transition point – we …
The Week Ahead 3/28
We have a very similar pattern to last week in terms of precipitation and overall pattern structure.The core of the cold comes out of the Great Lakes Monday and settles into the Northeast for Tuesday. We’ll begin some moderation on Wednesday, with an large area of overrunning precipitation associated with the warm front moving through …

The main shift in the pattern actually comes in the next 7 days – which is a substantial cool down settling in Sunday through Tuesday. Beyond this, we do have some moderation, but it is tempered just a bit. At this point in the year, cool downs are less impactful given the higher sun angle …
Hindsight of Season…
With the extreme volatility of the season and another mixed precipitation storm coming in this week, I took a quick look at where we landed in the ENSO cycle this winter. Typically, our placement in El Niño or La Niña isn’t the “end all” for the season, but there have been some correlations made that …
