After Record Cold, Expect Warmer-Than-Normal Temps Across Massachusetts: NWS
One of the coldest nights on record will soon give way to warmer-than-usual temperatures on Sunday, Feb. 5, meteorologists said. Massachusetts — and most of New England — suffered arctic conditions Friday night and Saturday as thermometers fell below zero in several parts of the state because of the polar vortex, the National Weather Service said. Boston and Worcester broke records more than 100 years old with minus 8 and minus 10 degrees, respectively. But that's almost balmy compared to the minus 40 degrees it felt in some parts of the state with the wind chill. 🥶 Record cold was ac…

Meteorologists (Not Groundhog) Share Spring Forecast For Mid-Atlantic Region
Winter is sticking around, no matter what Punxsutawney Phil prognosticates on Feb. 2, AccuWeather meteorologists say. The middle of January is the halfway point in meteorological winter. Still, meteorologists warn that despite warmer sunny days, outbreaks of cold air and waves of snow may make it feel like winter well into March for Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the entire northeast. Virginia on down the coast is a different story, and is expected to feel "more like spring," AccuWeather’s Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok says. But his team adds that many "Americans ma…

Snow Way! Polar Vortex Could Bring Snow Back To Pennsylvania, Maryland
It might have felt like spring all week with warmer weather and rains, but snow is predicted to come back to the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend. Temperature fluctuations will be bringing colder to mild days for the last week of March and the beginning of April, according to AccuWeather forecasters. “Thanks to a developing atmospheric traffic jam near Greenland, the jet stream is about to get some sizable buckles in it,” AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok said. Although the jet stream often marks where colder air lies to its north with milder air to its south, a pola…

Potent Storm Will Be Followed By Arctic Blast, New Chance For Snow
A potent, fast-moving storm that brought a mix of snow, significant icing, heavy rain, and damaging gusty winds will be followed by the arrival of an Arctic air blast that will bring with it the chance for wintry precipitation. Rain will continue at times on Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday afternoon, Jan. 17, with snow showers possible at times in the afternoon as the temperature begins to fall to the low to mid 30s. Wind gusts as high as 30 to 35 miles per hour Monday will make it feel colder. Skies will gradually clear overnight toward daybreak as the temperature falls to the l…

Update: Expect A Polar Vortex, Snow, And Fierce Wind Over The Next 5 Days
Break out your best Bernie Sander's style knitted-mittens and extra-thick jackets, a polar vortex is about to descend on Massachusetts and much of New England. A blast of cold wind from Canada is expected to drop temperatures to as low as 20 degrees below 0. The oncoming polar vortex may also bring snow to Central and Western Massachusetts starting on Friday, Jan. 29. In these conditions, frostbite could start to form after 30 minutes outside. The National Weather Service has issued a “hazardous weather outlook” for the region between northern Connecticut and North Worcester County. The fo…

Polar Vortex Expected To Bring Major Shift In Weather Pattern, Several Chances For Snowfall
Following a stormy first few days of 2021, a stretch of dry, seasonable days is likely to continue for another week before a big change in the weather pattern with the expected arrival of the polar vortex. Located about 20 miles over the earth's surface, the polar vortex is a low-pressure system that leads to the swirling of Arctic air around the polar regions which unleashes cold air much farther south, including in North America. AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dave Samuhel said that "Once the pattern gets rolling, a major surge in heating demand is expected, and winter storms and l…

Arctic Blast, New Storm Could Be Coming After Stretch Of Dry Days, Meteorologists Say
A stretch of dry days with temperatures a bit above normal are expected at least through this weekend. But soon after that, we could see an Arctic blast that may lead to a big winter storm. "Enjoy the 'warmth' while it lasts, because Old Man Winter is looking to return with a vengeance," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said. AccuWeather Senior and Lead Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok, meanwhile, noted that "Many of the chips are beginning to line up to suggest we will see a shift of the polar vortex and an Arctic invasion across the central and eastern US and Canada…

: Warming Trend To Trigger Damaging Winds, Downpours, Hail
Sunshine and rising temperatures the past few days have given the Northeast a desperately-needed reprieve from the chilly and dreary weather that pestered the region during much of April into May. The flip side comes Friday. A much warmer, soggier stretch will kick off with a bang as severe thunderstorms threaten parts of the Northeast. "Thunderstorms will erupt Friday afternoon ahead of a cold front across parts of Ohio, northwestern Pennsylvania and upstate New York then charge east and southeastward into portions of New England, the lower Hudson Valley and central and eastern Pennsylvani…

Here Are Latest Projected Snowfall Amounts For Rare Out-Of-Season Storm
Polar Vortex are words not associated with the month of May. But temperatures will be cold enough overnight that interior sections of the area will be seeing accumulating snowfall overnight as a rare out-of-season winter-like, spring storm will sweep through the Northeast. The time frame for snowfall, mainly north and inland, is overnight Friday, May 8 into Saturday morning, May 9. Gusty winds that could cause scattered power outages will accompany the storm system. The strongest winds, however, will be on Saturday. About 1 to 2 inches of snowfall accumulation is now poss…

Snow Way! Rare May Cold Blast Could Bring Snow To Parts Of Region
Don't adjust your calendar. It really is spring - even if the weather has been more like March than May. But things are really going to go to extremes later this week. A rare out-of-season cold blast could bring some snowfall to parts of the region. "It's like a late-spring version of the polar vortex," said Paul Pastelok, AccuWeather's top long-range forecaster. "If this same pattern was going on during January and February with the major blocking in the jet stream, we would be in a deep freeze with frequent snowstorms in the eastern United States."

My, My, Mild January, More In Store?
Last month was the ninth-mildest January in New Jersey since they began keeping records of such things 125 years ago, experts at the Rutgers NJ Weather Network said Monday. It was also the 11th least snowiest January around here, they said. But don't stash the shovels and snowshoes just yet. "Despite February likely getting off to a mild start, there still remains plenty of time for snow to fall," said David A. Robinson, the New Jersey state climatologist and a distinguished professor in the Rutgers University-New Brunswick Department of Geography. "In fact, the last three snow season…

Weather Whiplash: As Polar Vortex Departs, Punxsutawney Phil Weighs In
Almost on cue, just as the Polar Vortex that brought sub-zero temperatures to the area departed, Punxsutawney Phil weighed in with his annual prediction. The nation's most famous groundhog did not see his shadow Saturday morning, Feb. 2 and predicted an early spring. That call came just after sunrise about an hour northeast of Pittsburgh. We won't know if Phil got it right for at least a month, but in the coming days, at least, his prediction is going to look pretty good. Temperatures will rise day-by-day through early next week, peaking with a high temperature in the mid 50s on…

Snow is expected to begin Saturday afternoon, dropping between three to six inches on North Jersey overnight into Sunday morning. Temperatures will rise briefly turning the snow to rain as precipitation tapers off, according to meteorologist Dan Zarrow. Here is where the worst begins. Temperatures sometime Sunday a…
