Tuesday Afternoon Weather Update - Yucky weather Continues

-
Updated: 0200z/22:00/10PM

-----------------------------------FORECAST---------------------------------

TONIGHT - Rain on and off will continue as a near stationary front slowly moves south and waves of low pressure ride along it. Lows in the high 30's to low 30's in the north and 20's by the Canadian border and Northern New England.

WEDNESDAY - Showers throughout the day and turning quite windy. If you are north of I84 then you can expect some wintry weather, freezing rain and maybe wet snow. Accumulations should be nothing to worry about, but still could be dangerous on the roads. Watch for a possible Squall line of heavy rain and maybe some thunder late late Thursday night. Highs in the low 40's lows in mid 30's.

THURSDAY - Rain showers/light rain on and off, with fog building as a warm front approaches and high pressure builds to the north. Highs in the high 40's maybe reaching 50°.

FRIDAY - A few stray showers possible in the morning, otherwise highs in the high 50's and guys we very well could get up to 60-65°, partly cloudy in the morning to sunny in the afternoon with few clouds.

-------------------------FORECAST DISCUSSION-------------------------

As the seasons change, and we go from winter to spring, the Jet, as I have said before has to move from its normal winter position to its normal spring/summer position. AS it does this...sometimes it gets "blocked" and stuck. Well right now exactly this has happened, and as it does High pressure building to the north will press on it over us, bringing some unseasonably cold air into the area this weekend...although not for long, should be out by Sunday the latest. As we have a very strong subtropical jet stream, that's bringing waves of low pressure along it and ramming it into the cold air of the High pressure over us we get rain, and this is the cause for all the dumpy weather we have been having lately.

So this should last until the end of the weekend max, after which the models are strongly hinting at the jet relaxing closer to its normal spring/summer position, and warming up to really start happening and normal spring arrive. Get ready guys, Spring is just around the corner!

Have a great night!

About Us

Remy Mermelstein - I am 16 and in 10th grade at Irvington High School in Irvington, NY. My love for weather has been around all my life, starting with my absolute obsession with winter and snowstorms since I was a toddler. In addition to weather, I pursue an active life in architecture, interning at a local architects office (Website can be found HERE) and doing many community projects, building, designing and landscaping. I am pursuing a pilot’s license as well, and my knowledge and love for weather helps greatly when flying. My weather page, Weather or Not in the Rivertowns with Remy Mermelstein has been up for about a year now, and I update it at least every other day or more with the latest in weather. I study weather extensively on my own time, and am extremely active in the forums on many weather sites, my favorite being Weatherbell where the knowledge of some of the world’s greatest forecasters are available to me, as well as the massive community of meteorologists, climatologists and pure hobbyists this world has. Dillon and I are also currently working with Joe D'aleo on Science Research involving correlations and effects between the NAO/AO/AMO/PDO...etc... Every day brings a new realm of learning to us here at Weather in the Hud, and every day we learn more. So thank you for joining us here to read our forecasts! And, as always, if you have suggestions, advice about our posts, or the weather and our forecasting PLEASE tell us - we are still students and we recognize that, and want to learn as much as we can. Thank you.

Dillon Palmieri – Hi! I am a sophomore at Irvington High School in New York. Like my colleague Remy, my obsession with meteorology started at a young age when I became fascinated by tornadoes at the age of four. From there, my interest in the field expanded to winter storms, severe weather, and finally grew enough for me to want to create my own weather forecasts. Starting last spring (2014), I began officially doing weather forecasts for the public in the Hudson Valley region with Remy on our Facebook page Weather or Not in the Rivertowns. Our popularity quickly grew into hundreds of followers as our forecasts were consistently accurate and provided detailed information that would otherwise not be provided for a specific area such as the Hudson Valley. I also am currently working with Joe D'Aleo, a very well-known meteorologist employed at Weatherbell on a science research project studying the effects of the AMO, PDO, NAO, and AO on global climate. I wish to thank you for visiting our site and please know we welcome any and all input from our followers to make our site better.
