MARYLAND AND WASHINGTON, D.C. — The first call snowfall forecast for Sunday has been issued, and forecasters are taking a conservative approach as uncertainty remains high. While computer models will continue to update through the 12z and 18z runs, early projections suggest light to moderate snow across much of central Maryland and the D.C. metro,…
MID-ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST — A coastal snowstorm remains possible for the I-95 corridor and surrounding areas Sunday into Monday, but confidence in exact snowfall totals is still low. Forecasters caution that the track and speed of intensification will determine whether this becomes a moderate coastal event or a more disruptive winter storm with blizzard conditions…
MID-ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST — The first-call snow forecast for the Sunday–Monday system is out, and while impactful snowfall is increasingly likely somewhere along the East Coast, uncertainty remains high — especially for New York City and southern New England. With roughly 48 hours until onset, multiple pieces of upper-level energy are expected to “phase” into…
MID-ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST — Forecast models remain unsettled with respect to Sunday–Monday snow potential, but new probability maps offer a clearer look at where impactful accumulations are most likely. With less than 48 hours until potential onset, confidence is growing that someone along the I-95 corridor from Virginia to Maine will see plowable snow —…
MID-ATLANTIC AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND — With roughly 48 hours until the expected start of a significant winter storm, forecast guidance has narrowed into two primary scenarios — and both would bring impactful snow to parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Southern New England. The key question now is not whether someone sees heavy snow, but…
NORTHEAST UNITED STATES — A notable shift in the upper-level pattern is increasing the potential for a more significant winter storm across the Northeast late this weekend. Updated ensemble guidance shows a stronger negative North Atlantic Oscillation (-NAO) block and a repositioned western ridge — a setup that is often favorable for impactful snow along…
EASTERN UNITED STATES — A powerful storm system now crossing the Southwest is forecast to intensify as it reaches the East Coast Sunday, with forecasters branding the setup “Blizzardsaurus” due to its potential size and impact. The system is expected to strengthen Sunday into Monday, bringing a high probability of a major snowstorm to parts…
WASHINGTON, D.C. — With just two days to go before a potential Northeast winter storm, forecast models remain sharply divided — and the difference could mean the contrast between a major snow event and a near-miss for millions along the I-95 corridor. New data from the U.S. GFS model continues to depict a significant snowstorm…
MID-SOUTH AND OHIO VALLEY — A significant severe weather event unfolded across portions of the Mid-South and Ohio Valley on February 19, and early verification suggests the Storm Prediction Center’s 10% tornado probability area was well placed. While at least seven tornadoes have been logged so far, forecasters say a couple of additional tornadoes remain…
NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES — A winter storm is looking increasingly likely to impact the Northeast this weekend, with the potential for widespread accumulating snow from Sunday into Monday. Forecast confidence is trending upward for a broad swath of snowfall, especially closer to the I-95 corridor and into coastal New England—where heavier bands could set up…
