Sandy to Cause Widespread Disruption and Destruction

October 28, 2012; 3:51 PM

Sunday 5 PM

This is a video made late this afternoon showing where Sandy should go and what impacts to expect. The storm is still well out at sea, but it was supposed to be there according to previous forecasts. However, the various computer models have insisted the storm is about to hook to the left and head straight for the coast. The video shows where the storm should be at various times during the next couple of days. Keep in mind that dangerous wind and rain conditions will arrive long before the center reaches or passes you. In fact, the weather will slowly improve right after the center passes, but the damage will have been done. I'll write to you again tomorrow morning.

  • Dry Through the Weekend in the Northeast

    May 1, 2013; 8:17 AM ET

    In the Northeast, a high pressure area now in control will be reinforced by another high from northeastern Canada. In the "what could go wrong?" department, a batch of cloudiness has appeared east of New England and has been spreading southwestward toward the New Jersey coast this morning.

  • Brighter and Warmer to Start May

    April 30, 2013; 8:00 AM ET

    The clouds over parts of the region are starting to break up, a sign that the predicted drier air from the northeast is making progress.

  • Dreary, Dull, Damp and Dim

    April 29, 2013; 7:38 AM ET

    Cloudiness covers a large area. A few pockets of clearing show up where south winds ride downhill from mountains to lowlands. Air warms and dries with descent. Notice clearing downwind (northwest of) the Smoky Mts.

  • Sunshine Til Sunday, Moist on Monday

    April 26, 2013; 6:11 AM ET

    So, there could be more showers at times late next week as forest we can tell. For now we are stumped. But, it is our beleaf that this weekend you will like being outside. I know a dogwood. It may be a little cool for the beech, but you can take your dog for walk in the bark. What about next weekend? Don't ax.

  • A Fine Spring Weekend in the Northeast, Unless...

    April 25, 2013; 6:00 AM ET

    If the pattern turns out damp as suggested by this map for Sunday, it could turn gray and drizzly from D.C. to New York City for early next week. If the high does not move offshore and no disturbance approaches from the west, it would be sunny and warm.

  • Warmer Today but What About the Weekend?

    April 24, 2013; 7:23 AM ET

    Two things stand out: (1) a warmup this weekend and early next week (the top graph), and (2) the overall dryness for the weekend and early next week. This graph is for Philadelphia.
