BREAKING: A preliminary 4.8 magnitude earthquake has been reported in New Jersey near Lebanon. Shaking has been felt throughout Northeast, including New York City, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.
Did you feel it? We’re following this developing story:
To those who have followed me on this journey I wanted to let you know I have accepted an offer to work for the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control as an Air Quality Meteorologist / Forecaster!
Mostly sunny with a high temperature of 44 F and a low temperature of 29 F as well as mostly clear conditions at night. Northwesterly winds between 4-8 mph.
Although the weak cold front progressing SE generates lake snow for NW NY, precipitation is not expected for LI as the cold front approaches Saturday evening. Pressures are expected to increase today into Sunday morning.
A look into the upper atmosphere Saturday demonstrates split flow across the western US, whereas the Northeast experiences a weakly amplified trough associated with the surface low and accompanying cold front.
This will aid in vertical motion, therefore, aiding the development of showers around the occluded front. High temperature of 50 F and low temperature of 39 F. Light and variable northerly winds. Stay breezy!
Likely showers to develop tonight and persist into the overnight hours. Slight chance of isolated showers Thursday morning prior to the frontal passage later in the morning. Additionally, slight chance of isolated showers late Thursday night / overnight around the occluded front.
The strong cutoff low in the Midwest at 500mb progresses east and weakens Thursday. Simultaneously, the trough extending over the middle portion of the US progresses in tandem with the cutoff low shifting the exit region of the jet streak to over LI Thursday night.
increasing cloud coverage to mostly cloudy at night. Patchy fog expected overnight that will lead into the morning prior to subsiding. Southwesterly winds between 5-9 mph. High temperature of 52 F and low temperature of 41 F.
Minimal movement in the upper air ridge over the Northeast, however, the trough to the west weakens as the trough shrinks northward. At the surface stagnant conditions near the East Coast as the high pressure center situated in the Atlantic Ocean is stationary.
Higher pressures persist in the region throughout Friday. To the west the low pressure system in Canada tracks east through Quebec's providence, while the associated front moves slowly in the Midwest. Sunny skies during the day before
The warming trend is expected to continue Thursday as southwesterly flow (between 5-10 mph) is observed and the upper air ridge builds. High temperature of 48 F and low temperature of 36 F. Mostly sunny during the day with partly cloudy conditions at night.
Similar surface conditions for the East Coast as the high pressure system lingers in an analogous position as today. Meaning the high remains along the coast with slight movement offshore in the evening.
A look to the west demonstrates a low pressure system in the Mountain West hooking northeast to the Minnesota/Wisconsin border Thursday. The system will track off into Canada Friday.
Mostly sunny conditions with no precipitation expected. Light and variable southwesterly winds increasing to between 6-12 mph in the early afternoon. High temperature of 44 F and low temperature of 32 F.
The zonal flow observed aloft overnight builds northward into an amplified ridge, which is expected to exist over the region through Friday. The high pressure system over the eastern third of the US begins to track offshore tonight before stalling along the coast Wednesday.
Eastern LI Tuesday. No precipitation is expected Tuesday as sunny sky conditions will be observed. Westerly winds between 5-9 mph. High temperature of 37 F and low temperature of 22 F. Slightly below average temperatures for December 27th.
High pressure is the prevailing force Tuesday for most areas along the East Coast. At the mid level a shortwave trough within the weakly amplified trough progresses eastward offshore between the Mid Atlantic and Southeast. The shortwave trough has no bearing on weather for
The center of the storm system exits the Great Lakes region and strengthens while entering the Northeast Friday morning. Cold frontal passage is expected early Friday afternoon. Steady light to moderate rainfall commencing today and persisting overnight.
Following the frontal passage, there is a slight chance of light snowfall on the backside of the low. Greater than 1.5” of total precipitation accumulation. Southeasterly winds between 20 - 25 mph shifting southwest in the afternoon. Gusts > 40 mph.
