Weather synopsis: Sunday March 27


12:31pm the Northeast has dodged a bullet this weekend as a storm system passes to the south of the region. A streak of fair but cool weather will continue for the early part of this week, high temperatures will range in the 30s and 40s. Unsettled weather is forecast to return late this week. Rain and snow showers are in the forecast on Thursday. I am monitoring a potential coastal storm possible on Friday and Saturday to affect the Northeastern seaboard. We are still days away from this weekend, a better forecast will be made available as the time frame approaches.

6:16pm our premature Spring fever has come to an end, the battle between winter cold and spring warmth continues with the on set of another cold snap that will influence our temperatures through the rest of this week. Along with cooler temperatures, a threat for a rain and snow mixture looms over the Northeast beginning late Tuesday night over western New York and spreading east on Wednesday. Buffalo could pick up between 3" to as much as 8" of wet snow - 1-3" of wet, slushy snow is possible along the coast around the city of New York as well before the storm moves away early on Thursday. Behind this storm system temperatures will be rather chilly - highs ranging in the 30s and 40s with lingering snow flurries on Thursday night. Fair but cold weather will be with us on Friday and Saturday, it will be a good time for traveling. The rest of the weekend looks to remain chilly, I am monitoring the potential for another storm system early next week that could produce more flooding rain and/or snow for the region around Sunday and next Monday, hopefully this system stays far enough south to spare the region. The extended forecast calls for a prolonged period of chilly weather as High Pressure over Canada allow for cold air to flow into the Northeast.

Weather synopsis: Wednesday March 9


6:24pm unsettled weather is affecting the region once again, heavy rain will promt concerenes of flooding for portions of the Northeast. Rain will continue on Thurday as a storm system progresses east towards the coast. Unsettled conditions are expected to continue on Friday with the heaviest precipitation reaching the coast overnight Thursday and early morning Friday. Behind this system there will be a chillier air mass that will try and infiltrate the region. This should produce light snow flurries and snow showers over the Great Lakes this weekend with improving conditions elsewhere in the Northeast beyond Saturday. Beyond the weekend, my extended forecast calls for another pleasent start to the work week with fair weather and average temperatures.
