    by Steven DiMartino on February 11th, 2010 | Comment

    The entire northern Mid Atlantic is digging out of 6 to 24 inches of snow that feel over much of the region the past 24 hours as the blizzard that impacted the region exits into the Atlantic.

    The water vapor satellite image this morning clearly shows the exiting intense area of low pressure moving into [...]

     
  • Blizzard conditions return to Freehold and Monmouth County 

    by Steven DiMartino on February 9th, 2010 | Comment

    A significant winter storm is beginning to develop over the Gulf Coast that will bring the entire forecast area heavy snowfall and very strong winds.  The most significant impacts will be focused towards the coastal plain once again, where many locations have experienced one of the snowiest winters of all time.  This storm will likely [...]

  • More snow on the way!

    The area of low pressure that produced over a foot of snow over central New Jersey and up to 30 inches over much of southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia metropolitan area is now in the northern Atlantic.  This storm will enhance the negative NAO pattern, which will play a significant role in the development [...]

     
  • Dangerous and complicated winter storm on the way for New Jersey 

    by Steven DiMartino on February 5th, 2010 | Comment

    I have to admit, it is these types of forecasts that I love.  High risk, high reward.  Kind of like being a gambler in a way as the adrenaline is pumping.  The forecast for this storm is one of the most complicated forecasts I've had to make in over 8 years of professional forecasting and [...]

      Isn’t it funny how uncertain (and on what a huge range) it is to predict the weather tomorrow, but we know to the prevision of a fraction of a degree what the weather will be in 100 years? :-)

      Found this post while trying to decide if a weekend trip to Hoboken/NYC from Buffalo NY, driving down this evening and back Sunday afternoon would be a good idea. After reading this, it still seems uncertain. There could be 3 inches of snow after we get there, or we could get caught in near blizzard like conditions with the wind Friday evening.

        From all the reports we’re hearing in these parts, it seems like the NY area will only get a few inches total. Plus, who doesn’t love a snowy NYC weekend? You’ll have the place to yourselves!

  • Uncertainty remains as major winter storm heads east 

    by Steven DiMartino on February 4th, 2010 | Comment

    I would love to say this morning that I know exactly what this storm is going to do and that I have complete confidence in the way the models are handling the moisture advection at the mid levels, the expansion of the precipitation shield, and the strength of the Sub Tropical disturbance.  If I could [...]

      I’m driving from the Gloucester County area to Pomona, NJ tomorrow to spend the night. I presume I should leave in the afternoon tomorrow to avoid the snow?

    I would love to be able to say I know exactly what is going to transpire over the next five days and I am extremely confident in the forecast I am going to issue.  The problem is that I can't say that and likely won't be able to say that until Thursday night.  Over the [...]
