Historical I95 Blizzard???

Interesting times these days my friends, so will our monday storm be out to sea or ride up the coast delivering a long overdue early coastal snowstorm to the major cities and adjacent areas? I am leaning towards the snow idea, i think the polar vortex will set up shop over eastern quebec and as pacific energy comes east i think it will dig south and a new storm will be born in the northeast gulf. From there i think the storm will travel northeast 100 miles offshore paralleling the eastern seaboard delivering a slap in the face to all those who are yearning for spring and warm temps. A lot can go wrong with my forecast including a flatter wave which slides harmlessly out to sea, compliments of a sw shift in the polar vortex and stronger blocking......either way its going to be cold and raw the next 7 days, and if my thinking is correct very white! Until next time....

Pocono and eastern face snows?

Goodevening friends, its late, and that means something must be happening! A low level boundary layer is setting up across southern New England tonight. Temps in the low and mid 30's are observed over eastern ct and mass at this hour and my winds have veered to the NE now, while to the west in parts of Jersey and Pa, temps are still near 50 and in the 40's. A low level convergence will set up later tonight for the eastern slopes of the Pocono's (Pokes), and NW Jersey and perhaps NE ct and NW ct. I would expect that a very slushy coating to as much as 3 inches of snow will accumulate especially in elevations greater than 500 ft. Along the coast light rainn will end as flurries, however tomororrow afternoon will be windy with clearing skies and downsloping winds allowing temps to crack 50! Have a great night!
