12/7 First Snow Flakes not out of the Question today

Just wanted to give people a heads up that this afternoon and evening may bring with it some snow showers, especially the further north you are. The western Slopes of the Mountains will see their first significant snows (3-6") and the higher Blue Ridge could see an inch or so.. the areas east of the mountains may also see their first few flakes. Longer term after a quick very cold shot tonight and tomorrow, a warmer/milder trend appears to be coming during next week!

All for now!

Severe weather and heavy rains. Then very high winds!

Weather conditions will continue to worsen as a dynamic system organizes in our region. High winds, heavy rains and even potentially severe storms will occur as things come together. Severe weather will mainly be possible east of I-95. 1-3" of rain could occur. After things clear tomorrow, get ready for very heavy winds as the storm really organizes north of here causing western New England and the Great lakes an eventual snowstorm with even Blizzard like conditions in some instances..

As is typical with this time of year, we will moderate some through the middle of next week. Next weekend may again present wet weather and much cooler conditions.

9/24 DC/MD/VA Severe Weather Outlook

SEVERE WEATHER ALERT

 

A strong front and area o energy will cross the region today. The energy available with a very moist and unstable atmosphere should end up producing scattered strong to severe thunderstorms. The biggest threat from the storms today will be damaging winds, but isolated hail reports are not out of the question. There is a slight risk of isolated tornadoes as well.

 

Please stay alert to TV and Radio outlets for watches and warnings that will likely be posted this afternoon!

 

All for now!

 

9/16 Outlook for Possible Seveer Weather Tuesday

Due to lack of Internet access the next several days this is an early outlook for potential severe weather Tuesday or Wednesday of next Week! It will be followed by some much cooler weather as we heat up early in the week!

8/31/2006 09:08:00 PM DC/MD/VA Weather Update

Ernesto coming ashore with almost Hurricane force this evening.

 

It appears that it may head a bit further east than first thought. Still looking at a good 3-6"+ with isolatead 10"+ amounts. The storm will be a bit stronger than first anticipated so some gust winds tomorrow and areas on teh immediate coastal plain. Please monitor these 2 threads for the latest on the Tropical System and the Flooding Threat: Flood Threat: http://www.midatlanticweather.com/bb3/index.php?topic=1244.0

 

Tropical Storm Thread: http://www.midatlanticweather.com/bb3/index.php?topic=1230.0

 

Please DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS! The eventual track could be a curve as it runs into a strong blocking high to the north. This High will be the key in precip amounts. I would say that areas would be dealing with a huge winter storm if the time of year was right =)

 

Stay tuned to news and weather outlets for warnings.

FLOODING RAINS AND SEVERE WEATHER LIKELY

FLOODING RAINS AND SEVERE WEATHER LIKELY

I hope you have been reading www.midatlanticweather.com and seen my concerns on the coming flooding rains over the next few days! As Tropical Storm Ernesto (I suspect he will be upgraded to Tropical Storm within hours of re-emerging off the coast of Florida) moves up the coast, a High Pressure will also provide a fetch of moisture off the Atlantic. Needless to say the combination will prove extremely wet and we will see very heavy rainfall. To the east of the Circulation Severe weather will likely occur with some tornadoes possible. All in all 5- 10" of rain is possible, especially across the Flood plains, River Flooding is anticipated as well as some Flash Flooding!

PLEASE STAY ALERT to the weather and DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS!

6/27 DC/MD/VA Severe Weather Alert

Severe Weather Alert

A developing tropical system is getting entrained into the front that has been stalled across the region. The combination of this tropical system and the front as well as intermittent sunshine is causing numerous showers and storms to develop. This is of course bad news for flooding which appears that it may worsen as the tropical system moves through, but now Severe Storms capable of strong winds and isolated tornadoes are also possible, especially in eastern areas. Please stay alert to news and radio outlets for watches and or warnings! Never drive through water!

6/23 Severe Weather Alert

SEVERE WEATHER ALERT!

A frontal boundary has become stationary over the area and will reamin for the next several days. At first the contrasts between the warm and cooler air will be a focus for seveer storms today. The biggest threat will be high winds and hail. Isolated tornadoes will also be possible!

 

FLOODING RAINS Likely for Some

The stalled front responsible for strong to severe storms will also help squeeze out abundant moisture. Flooding seems very probable for parts of the region where areas could top 6 inches of rain between now and early next week!

 

Please stay tuned to Radio and News outlets for watches or warnings.

 

Also visit http://www.midatlanticweather.com for the weather information you need in the Mid Atlantic!

FLOODING RAINS POSSBLE

The stalled front responsible for strong to severe storms will also help squeeze out abundant moisture. Flooding seems very probable for parts of the region where areas could top 6 inches of rain between now and early next week!

 

VERY HOT TODAY

The rain in the north today MAY assist in holding temperatures from reaching the maxes once forecast, but I do believe many areas will see temperatures in the mid 90s today and could see heat indexes at 100 degrees or more! Be careful!

 

 

6/19 DC/MD/VA Severe Weather Alert

6/19 DC/MD/VA Severe Weather Alert

A little snow. Not much!

Many north of a Fredericksburg to Charlottesville line up to Baltimore will see a little snow tomorrow. Ground temps will be warm. Expecting nothing more than a dusting to an inch or so.

 

There could be slightly more near Charlottesville and in the higher elevations.

 

2" would be the max for low elevations and not much will fall in Northern Maryland.

 

Hey.. it is Late March!

 

There is a slight possibility of another storm this weekend that could cause snow.. but I am not very confident in the idea and again higher elevations would see the real threat.

 

We need rain in the region as we are very, very dry!

 
 

Great School in Northern Virginia. http://www.ambleside.org

Colder than normal temps + a southern storm= SNOWSTORM POSSIBLE!

---

Colder than normal temps + a southern storm= SNOWSTORM POSSIBLE!

---

Summary:  Wow! Here we go with another chance of snow! Anyone remember temps last weekend?  That is right! Give the weather a week and things can chage. The Combining features. A strong 1040MB High (Impressive this time of year) in Canada and a southern storm. So many things work against accumulating snow in areas east of the mountains this time of year!

1. Warm ground
2. Warm sun
3. Long daylight hours
4. Climatology

 

BUT.. there are exceptions to every situation! And this may be the exception! Right now, the most favored areas are higher elevations, especially north of Charlottesville. Higher elevations could see 3-6” and lower elevations 1-3”. Areas west of I-95 north of Fredericksburg to Charlottesville seem more likely to me than anywhere else to see snow (other than the mountains of course)

 

Longer term appears to remain below normal to near normal temps and continued dry.

A little snow after 85 degree weather! Wow!

Later tonight in areas mainly North of Fredericksburg to Charlottesville and west of I-95 may see a bit of snow! Snow could set up in a narrow band and cause heavier accumulations (up to 3" on grassy areas in higher elevations), but mainly a dusting for most who see it.. Road and ground temperatures are pretty warm so this will not cause major issues except maybe some of the higher elevations.

 

Temperatures will remain cool through the weekend and another rain/snow mixing type scenario may unfold next week. That is iffy as of now.

 

85 degree temps to snow in 4 days! Wow!

 

All for now!

Severe Storms Possible and a Switch Back to colder weather =(

Severe Storms Possible Today

 

After a beautiful weekend we will have a strong front coming through the area this evening and overnight. Preceding this front will be record or near record warmth in the mid and upper 80s. The sharp contrast in temperatures is a focus line for strong to severe storms. The biggest threat will be high winds and hail, but isolated tornadoes are not out of the question. The biggest threat time will be between 5pm tonight and 1am tomorrow morning.

 

Unfortunately this is a signal to colder temps for the rest of the week. There is even a chance of some snow Thursday night in parts of the region!

 

All for now.

 

 

2/22 Some Areas of heavy/moderate snow and accumlations

Snow is falling rather moderately to sometimes heavy north and western regions! Reports in the far west and slightly elevated areas have 3-5". There appears to be a chance that grassy areas could have 1-2" where it is snowing moderately now!

 

When snow is moderate and heavy, slushy to snow covered roads have been reported! Stay safe. I can see the western edge of the precipitation on radar advancing eastward so things will likely end between 10 and 11 am.

 

Great School in Northern Virginia. http://www.ambleside.org

2/21 Increased Risk for Light Snow Tomorrow

There is an increased risk of light snow in the morning tomorrow as a southern weather disturbance passes through the area. The increased risk will be for areas where precip begins before sunrise. The reason for increasing the risk is the colder temperatures that are already in place as the area is under ideal radiational cooling. Best risk of light accumulations would be Virginia west of a Charlottesville to Roanoke line. I am not expecting more that a dusting to an inch in these areas, but roads could be cold making commutes rough. For the rest of the area, the risk is there that precip could start before dawn. If it does, allow extra time as small events like these are usually the roughest commutes! Once the sun is up, temps appear to rise to start melting and even could transition precip to rain in areas. IF precip begins before sunrise, the rise in temps could be slower.

 

Be careful!

 

Of note, we will have the coldest air of the season Sunday and Monday followed by a continues cooler than normal period. In the 7-10 day period there are signals of a potential significant winter storm!

 

All for now!
 

Great School in Northern Virginia. http://www.ambleside.org

2/18 Light Snow possible today

Already snowing in Southwestern VA and western NC. Expect up to an inch in most spots. In Southwestern 1-3" with isolated 4" amounts higher elevations seems possible. Best accumulations will be on car tops and grassy areas!

 

Snow chances best from Charlottesville to Fredericksburg to Salisbury and south. Best chance of Accumlations, 30 miles either side of a Dublin to Roanoke to Richmond line.

 

up to an inch possible.

 

1-3" Southwestern VA where snow started around sunrise!

2/10 SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM CONTINUES ON TRACK FOR THIS WEEKEND

SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM CONTINUES ON TRACK FOR THIS WEEKEND

 

What: All models are showing what should become a significant snow storm for the mid Atlantic Region this weekend.

 

When: Starting overnight Friday in the southwestern regions and spreading over the northern areas by late afternoon Saturday

 

How Much: Well, ranges in precip come in between 3-6” (Further South and west) and  4-8” (Further North and even east).. Some areas **COULD** see amounts in the 10” range.

Where:

I-95 areas and about 40 miles either side of it may be the jackpot areas until you get midway between Richmond and Fredericksburg, where you should pull the rain/snow line back west to western North Carolina.

Southeastern Virginia, from Just west of Richmond to Danville and the areas east should see a mix and the closer to the coast a changeover to rain. (Like Williamsburg to the Eastern Shore and Lower Southern Maryland)

 

This will be fine tuned… and I hope a map later tonight.

 

Amount Highlights:

Hagerstown: 3-6”

Frederick, MD: 3-6”

Montgomery, MD: 3-6”

Baltimore: 4-8”

D.C: 3-6” (Maybe some sleet/rain at start)

Dulles: 3-6” (Maybe some sleet)

Fredericksburg: 3-6” (Maybe some sleet)

Salisbury: 1-2” then Rain

Richmond: 1-2” (Mixing with rain and sleet)

Williamsburg 1-2” (Mixing with sleet and rain)

Emporia: Trace then rain

VA Beach: Few flakes then rain

Martinsburg: 3-6” (Some Sleet)

Roanoke: 3-6”

Charlottesville: 3-6”

Leesburg: 3-6”

 

Hopefully this gives you some idea of my thoughts!

 

 

Concerns:

1. System bombing out and timing will make all the difference! I am thinking Maryland near Baltimore could be closer to 10”+ amounts
2. The speed of movement is in question to an extent. Speed will make all the difference as well.
3. A dry slot could develop in areas which will drop amounts
4. time of day is not favorable for best accumulations.
5. Any convective activity will up amounts in some regions… yes… Thundersnow!
6. Still worried about a Southeastward shift in storm track. One of the latest models confirmed this concern.

 

All for now!

SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM ON TRACK FOR THIS WEEKEND

SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM ON TRACK FOR THIS WEEKEND

 

What: All models are showing what should become a significant snow storm for the Mid Atlantic Region this weekend.

 

When: Starting overnight Friday in the southwestern regions and spreading over the northern areas by late afternoon Saturday

 

How Much: Well, ranges in precip come in between 3-5” for a large area with some higher spots likely seeing 4-8”. It does appear that there will be a sharp cut off on the western edge so the mountains and westward may really miss the heavier snows as well as the immediate piedmont areas of Western Maryland and Northern Virginia. Please note there could be some higher amounts within the jack pot areas as well. A lot to watch!

 

Where:

I-95 areas and about 30 miles either side of it may be the jackpot areas until you get just south of Richmond where you should pull the rain/snow line back west to western North Carolina.

Southeastern Virginia and the areas east of 30 miles or so east of I-95 should see a mix and the closer to the coast a changeover to rain.

Western and north of areas from Leesburg down to Charlottesville and then Southwestward towards Bristol could see a rapid drop off in snow amounts, but this is too detailed and could change

 

This will be fine tuned.

 

Concerns:

1. True model Consensus is not there yet.
2. Amounts will be hard to determine until the models handle some of the phasing of the systems better
3. Could see a further north and west pull of warm air if the system gets stronger, thus putting I-95 corridor in jeopardy of a changeover
4. There is also the possibility the storm stays further South and East which would limit Northern and Western area snows.. As noted, there could be a sharp cut off in snow to the west.

 

All for now!

1/13 DC/MD/VA Severe and winter weather alert

The first things first: Severe weather possible overnight. Very strong winds tomorrow. Possible period of snow tomorrow night (Northern areas and Appalachians, mainly west of I-p5 and north of Fredericksburg.

 

Biggest threat tonight is high winds but isolated tornadoes are possible.

 

All I have time for now!

 

Great School in Northern Virginia. http://www.ambleside.org

1/2 DC/MD/VA Severe Weather Alert

Severe weather possible today.

A strong cold front will combine with a developing low pressure to cause widespread heavy rains and some strong to severe thunderstorms today. The best chances for severe weather will be the Southern areas of Virginia and especially North Carolina. Areas just east of the mountains may be stable enough to prevent the severe weather. The biggest threat would be strong winds and hail, but conditions in North Carolina (and limited elsewhere) does appear to be able to support tornadoes!

Please stay alert to weather and media outlets for watches or warnings.

Of note, this morning temperatures in the northern parts of the mountain valleys has been cold enough fro some freezing rain.

All for now!
