My preliminary May temperature outlook can be found below. Also, we are 1 month away from the official start of the 2013 Hurricane Season. The season is expected to be another active one. My blog forecast will be finished this weekend(maybe earlier). I can't wait for a good season with WU.

A warm front will be moving through the area over the next couple days. Then the low pressure itself should move somewhere in our area. This will bring a period of rain and thunderstorms to the area. Some of the storms will be strong to severe on Monday and Wednesday. The dynamics won't be great, but the chance for isolated large hail or a damaging wind gust is there. Heavy rain is also an issue from any storm that develops. Several inches of rain wi...

Today is April 3rd, which means we are about 60 days away from the 2013 hurricane season. This season is expected to be quite active once again. I'll do my formal forecast in the next couple days since I'm on spring break. Anyway, this will be my first full Atlantic and Epac hurricane season with Wunderground. Last year had some up and downs for me. I had some success and some failure with forecasting hurricanes, Sandy vs Isaac & Ernesto respectively. I was also jus...

For the remainder of the week, the weather should be quiet. A steady warmup will occur throughout the week as temperatures get into the 50s. Dry conditions shall prevail until the weekend.

They provide better life saving information to the public. Finally...

Crippling late season snowstorm looks to be on the way late this week! Expect snowfall totals over 24" in some areas with considerable blowing and drifting snow. All roads will be closed, flights cancelled, schools closed for days, and life will come to a stand-still. You better start stocking up on supplies as stores will be closed for several days. The GFS, ECMWF, CMC, UKMET, NAVGEM, etc have latched on to this solution. The NWS is considering issuing a blizzard w...
