I wish it was here

The relentless pattern since November continues to produce snow for the Central, North Central and Northern New England areas while we remained cold and dry with the big storms suppressed or cutting west.Happy to have gotten close to 40 inches this season .Let's hope for a better 2019-2020.

7.75 inches the whole winter and that is including the snow we had in NOVEMBER...so if that does not count in total we only had 4.75 inches the whole season..pitiful!! ON TO THE NEXT

OH BOY....My husband is traveling and this is the only time he has a connecting flight tom(all direct flights were booked up even with him flying 1st class......he has to connect thru Denver)..  and of course you know its going to be my fault..because I said when he booked the flight that "you know there could still be spring snow storms out in Chicago or Denver" if he is delayed or flight is cancelled...hope he forgets that I said that a month ago...  ps..sunny and 56 degrees here!

Mom, in cases like this,us married men resort to a tried and true tactic.....DENY,DENY,DENY

Seriously, hope all goes well with your husband's travel plan, but you hit the nail on the head with those spring storms.Just saw Lee Goldberg post the temperature gradients out there, from the 30's to the 80's!

Chillier than I expected today. 46* at 2 pm. Thought we’d be in low 50s but not sure we’ll hit 50.

It seems to have warmed up a bit. At 2 am it is 40 degrees yet I still cling to my wood stove. Help me, somebody. Direct me to a weaning off program for my wood stove.

Wow

The high humidity and dew points around here are the perfect setup ahead of this front for some really powerful storms overnight. Dew points all day were in the 60s with humidity above 75 percent. Already tornado activity across the Ohio Valley, Western PA and Virginia. Short-term models show a very powerful line coming through between 3 and 7 a.m. While tornados are rare around here, I think we could get some really powerful T'Storms in the pre-dawn hours.

Probably a preliminary, weaker line between 9-11 p.m., followed by a stronger more severe line between 3 and 7 a.m.

Expecting some severe weather up here in Binghamton tonight. Tornado watches to my west likely to expand east later this evening. Temp 63, dew point 58. Bring it!

Yep. After a boring winter, Spring T’Storms are at least something significant to track. That second line from western NY to the TN Valley could pack a punch if it holds together and short range models don’t show it breaking up.

I think we’ll see some watches expanded east later this evening.

Agreed

The long range thread is closed until next year. All discussions pertaining to anything weather related, be it short, medium or long term, will take place in the monthly discussion threads.

Unsettled weather is expected over the next 10 days. There will be a couple of nice days mixed in - like Tuesday - but overall cloudy with a chance for rain. What particularly has my attention is Easter weekend.



That closed upper level vort in the southwest U.S. is a key player. If the PAC energy associated with this vort is as strong as models indicate, it will bring a crawling low pressure system to our area this upcoming weekend. Some models are showing severe weather Saturday too. That's one way to ruin a holiday.

Mainly 60's this week. I took some time off to get myself over this abysmal winter. I think...*think*..I'm over it. Now I can look at models again.

I'm hearing severe weather tonight into early am? Dangerous conditions I hear.

Tornado Watch up in Binghamton. Squall line approaching within the hour

The humidity is just unbearable! It may be 60 degrees but it feels much warmer. Sweating like crazy!

Feels like a Florida night here in Binghamton. Temp 65, Dew Point 60 and humidity 90%

SPC's latest. These storms are not weakening as they approach NYC. Get ready to rock 'n roll in an hour or so...

Loudest crack of thunder I ever heard
