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.

Quiet for now, Long range trouble

As we head into the weekend, it looks quiet and cool with temps topping out in the 40s with lows in the 20s. As we turn our attention to a potential storm late-week.

Stay tuned!

Snow inland still tricky forecast for the coast

Still a tricky forecast for Thursday when a costal low moves by. With a cold front still back to our west, the coast can expect heavy rain and more inland areas can expect more snow.

1 front 2 snow bursts and an active pattern.

Another active streak ahead of us.  There are 3 parts in this streak. 1 the rain winds down as a stalled front weakens as it moves to the east. As this system moves out, part 2 moves in. Part 2 includes a coastal storm moving swiftly offshore. This will bring slight accumulations along the coast and a few inches just inland. Part 3 includes a weak cold front moving through with a few flurries.

Stay tuned!

Thursday snow

As the 2nd storm in a line of storms pushing through the area. Snow accumulations are expected to reach 2-5″ at the coast and 1-3″ just inland.

Stay tuned!

Suspicious model forecasts

As we look at the model consensus there is fairly well established agreement on a few storms hitting the region in the next two weeks. This is still VERY far out and we will have to watch it very closely.

Stay tuned!
