Weather In A Nutshell

12/12/2025

WIAN FIRST CALL SNOW MAP FOR SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING
Good morning, our first significant snow event of the season will take place Saturday night into Sunday! Get out those shovels for Sunday morning!
TIMING: Snow should spread around the area from West to East around mid to late evening. May start as rain in areas of I-95, quickly changing to moderate to heavy snow in several hours. Spotty 1" inch per hour rates possible especially for the I-95 corridor near Philadelphia. As the low pulls out around sunrise, it pulls the precip back...but also the cold air as everyone should be all snow by morning even the coast. The snow departs no later than noon.
WHY 3-6" inches for I-95 near Philly?:
I think this area has the best chance to see the fine line of heavy precip and cold enough air to see accumulating snow, which includes roads.
FOR 2-4" areas:
I-80 & NW folks will be all snow, but the precip won't be as heavy as CNJ or even SNJ folks, which is why I put the area in 2-4"
The coast gets 2-4" due to the heavy snow from the backside of the storm.
Middle & Eastern LI, and extreme SENJ will have their totals dimmed by margarinal temperatures as times of "white rain" may fall (non-sticking snow)
WIND WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE!
Anymore questions? Ask away!

12/09/2025

We are off to a very cold December. Single digit morning lows were recorded in N&W locations. It's not even officially winter yet...but when will it moderate? Temps will remain below average for at least the next week, with 30s for highs, a light snowfall chance for December 14th (I'll make a post if it trends stronger. Or it may trend more dry.)

Starting December 18th temperatures should moderate. Upper 40s to Low 50s as highs may occur for a few days or longer. But according to upper air signals and looking at the pattern, it probably won't last long and we may end December with more severe cold stretches, and possibly storm chances.

11/25/2025

Beginning of December may start cold and maybe a bit wintry? A cold snap is very prominent on all models around Dec 4-5, with morning lows in the teens and struggling to get above freezing as a high.

Snow also isn't impossible to start December. There's low confidence if energy sets up right to get some snow on the ground during that cold stretch which will happen around Dec 2nd if the low is energized enough.

This is what happens when you listen to a weather app instead of a weather account ran by a real person!

11/19/2025

Long Range Snow outlook:

Yes, it is already November 19th and I could finally use the "S" word. Areas north of I-80 are already familiar with that word. But will we get any in the near future?

Well, maybe you'll get the opportunities come December. The best chance looks to be the end of the month but I'd still consider it a low chance.
