NORTH CAROLINA — A sharpening 850mb thermal gradient stretching from the eastern shore of Lake Ontario to Cape Cod is emerging as the key driver behind multiple storm systems expected to track along the East Coast through the end of the week. Warm Front Establishes “Nose-Down” Thermal Gradient Today’s warm front has laid down a…
NORTH CAROLINA — A pronounced thermal boundary setting up along the East Coast is raising concerns for the development of powerful late-winter storm systems, as intense Arctic air clashes with incoming subtropical warmth. Strong Thermal Clash Developing Offshore Upper-air analysis at the 850mb level shows a sharp temperature contrast offshore of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast….
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Through Monday, the nation’s capital is experiencing its coldest meteorological winter to date since the 2002–03 season, with average temperatures running roughly 5 degrees below normal. Eastern U.S. Stands Out as Cold Spot in the Hemisphere Temperature anomaly data from the past 45 days shows a pronounced pocket of below-normal readings centered…
ILLINOIS — While a widespread severe weather outbreak appears unlikely Thursday, high-resolution guidance continues to show a conditional but organized cluster of storms developing early Thursday evening across central Illinois, with the potential for strong to severe impacts. Height Rises and Warm Air Aloft Limiting Larger Outbreak Forecast analysis indicates that height rises and warming…
NORTH CAROLINA — Forecast models are showing a growing signal for a possible nor’easter developing Sunday into Monday, though several key details remain unresolved before confidence can increase across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

ILLINOIS — A conditional but closely watched severe weather setup is unfolding for Thursday across portions of the Midwest and Ohio Valley, with Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Northern Kentucky in the zone for possible semi-discrete supercells capable of producing large hail and a few tornadoes. Dryline Setup Focused on Illinois and Indiana Latest high-resolution model…
OHIO — Residents across the Miami Valley are waking up to a chilly Tuesday morning, with temperatures hovering in the low to mid-30s across much of the region. As of 7:00 AM Tuesday, readings show a cool but relatively uniform temperature pattern across western Ohio, with some communities dipping closer to the freezing mark. Dayton…
FLORIDA — A dramatic temperature swing is shaping up across the state as summer-like heat surges in for the weekend, followed by a sharp cold front that could send readings tumbling back toward winter levels early next week.
