A 2024 Rewind

Coming soon to a YouTube Channel near you👀

It was great to finally see some snow on campus 10 days ago! Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come 👀 ❄️

Snow???

Its a real possibility, and becoming more likely in portions of the mountains/Piedmont tomorrow evening/night. I've got the latest for you on who I think could see accumulations.

This pattern change is going to come in 3 phases:

Phase 1: This swings through the Midwest/Northeast early this week. This will fire off a storm that will help to crank up the lake effect machine. This will also provide a push of established cold air for phase 2.

Phase 2: This storm will cross the country from California to the east coast. How this interacts with our established cold air/the polar jet could produce a nor'easter right after Thanksgiving. This also supplies another shot of cold/arctic air.

Phase 3: This is another block of cold air that should move in to start December. This will enhance lake effect, and COULD produce winter weather really anywhere in the east. Phase 3 is where areas outside of the Great lakes, Northeast could get in on the fun.

Some fun cold core convection this afternoon. This is created when cold air above the surface leads to an unstable atmosphere. Very dry air at the surface prevents this from causing any precipitation on the ground. Likely snow/graupel only a couple 100 feet above the surface!

I will be live on YouTube tonight at 6:30 Eastern to talk winter weather, the upcoming pattern, and answer all of your questions! Swing on by and say hey! 👋🏼

Confidence is increasing that we will see a favorable pattern for heavy snow, and POTENTIAL blizzard conditions in portions of the Apps next week.

A powerful ULL will develop over the Ohio River Valley, during the middle of next week. This will supply cold air, and enhanced lift across the region. Strong orographic forcing will lead to heavy snow/strong wind in spots. Exact timing, totals, locations will need to be ironed out this week.

A throwback to the solar storm we had last month across the country. This was the peak of it over North Carolina!

A good shot to see the Aurora Borealis tonight pretty far south. Imagine forecasting the Aurora like forecasting severe weather. The ingredients are there, but will it all come together to produce something? Only time will tell how far south it gets tonight, but the ingredients are in place. Its worth a look to the north during the night. We will be cloud free for the most part. However we could be fighting some clouds in the Rockies, Northern Midwest, and interior New England

If you catch them send your pictures my way! 🌌

Unfortunately my sister lost her home due to hurricane Helene a couple weeks ago. My family set up a gofundme to try to help her. She had just moved into her new place with her fiancé a couple of months ago.

Comments like this really make all of the negative ones obsolete. My number one priority is your safety!

As someone who has gotten ripped apart by fellow meteorologists the past couple of days for saying the same thing. I’m just going to leave this right here…
