A lot of us want to FORGET what happened last winter… I know I do! A lot of forecasts (including ours) were on the same page, as there were strong signals for big potential winter storms and cold. However, it was the exact opposite. Washington, D.C. saw one of their “snowless” winters in recorded history…
The September CHILL continues! We expect overnight lows to be colder tonight than last night. For that reason the National Weather Service has issued a Frost Advisory for the Northern and Central Shenandoah Valley. Overnight lows will fall into the mid 30’s. Sensitive vegetation may be damged or killed if left unprotected. Temperatures along the…
A September CHILL will be in the air tonight! It will be much warmer along the coast, due to a persistent and gusty northeast wind. However, light winds across the Piedmont will allow temperatures to fall into the 40’s. Even colder in the Valley with lows in the upper 30’s (and possibly a few degrees…
Moderate to Major coastal flooding is LIKELY across the Lower Chesapeake Bay, Lower James and York Rivers, and portions of Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore, from late Friday evening through Monday. As Sally departs and becomes a low pressure system, attached with a front, strong high pressure will build in across New England, which…
Moderate to Major coastal flooding is possible from late Friday through the weekend. The “leftovers” from Sally will move across Eastern North Carolina overnight and bring very heavy rain and gusty winds across the Hampton Roads region. As Sally moves offshore, winds will turn to the north by Friday morning, with gusts along the coast…
“Sally” is now a Tropical Storm and remains a slow mover, with maximum sustained winds as of 2 p.m. EDT of 70 mph. The moisture from Sally will move across Georgia and the Carolina’s overnight and into Virginia on Thursday. There may be two waves of rainfall, the first occurring during the day Thursday with…
The Atlantic Ocean looks like a baseball stadium with players in the field. LOTS of tropical systems and we are ONE storm away from reaching the end of the of the hurricane name list before we move into the Greek alphabet! Closer to home, SALLY may become a concern later in the week. Right now,…
The Atlantic is FULL of tropical activity as we have reached the “peak” of hurricane season. “Rene” and “Paulette” will stay out in the open waters of the Atlantic for the next several days, as these systems generally move towards the northwest, then a gradual turn to the north is expected, as a large ridge…
We are now at “the peak” of the hurricane season. This is when you typically expect a lot of activity and the tropics are loaded! “Rene” has formed in the Far Eastern Atlantic, impacting the Cabo Verde Islands, but is NOT expected to threaten any other land areas. A tropical wave is expected to emerge…
