I’m a third-year atmospheric science student at Cornell University who has been blogging about the weather since 2011. While I’m not officially a meteorologist, I have accumulated a bit of experience forecasting both local weather (in western Maine and New Hampshire) as well as national/international weather during my time writing for weather.us and weathermodels.com. I also have experience programming in Python, teaching concepts in weather forecasting, and communicating forecast information to general audiences.

Thursday hiccup

One storm in the 7 day forecast. Thursday there will be a storm passing off to the west. This will produce a cold rain with a small amount of sleet/snow mixing in. Other than that, the week looks great.

Stay tuned!

As always some sorts of weather are better for some things rather than others.

Tell us what type of weather you think goes along best with spending time with someone special.

Rain in the long term

Rain is expected on Thursday as of now, but the potential still exists for some snow mixing in.

 

Stay tuned!

Some snow in the long term; maybe

Some very different weather across the country. Stormy in the West along with temps well below average. In the East, however it is quiet with above average temps. But, looking at the long range models, that could very well change. It appears that next week we could see some stormy weather.

Stay tuned!

Long range trouble part II

Even though long range forecasts are hard and mostly inaccurate, we still go on making them and tweaking them. This next episode of long range forecasting includes unsettled conditions with periodic cold fronts swinging through however laking in sufficient moisture.

Short term outlook

As we continue to track storms in the more distant future, there is still the short term to talk about. This weekend will feature partly cloudy skies with seasonable temps.

Storms draw nearer…

As the days pass the forecasted storms can come more into focus. This means that we can forecast them more accurately. It looks like a few showers for friday and a light snow sunday into monday of next week.

Stay tuned!
