Weekly Weather Report for March 29: Wet, then Warm

The second week of spring has brought another dose of soaking rain to the Northeast. A front carrying heavy rain has “stalled” over the region, and is dousing an area from coastal Maryland and Virginia up through all of New England. Strong winds are also expected in certain areas throughout the region, mostly along the northern coast in and around Boston. Flooding is again a concern in areas from New Jersey to Maine. The current storm will soon be reinforced by another storm system moving in from the south. This second storm will keep skies gray and sidewalks damp until at least Wednesday morning, when the sun is expected to return to the southern section of the Northeast, from Washington D.C. to New York City. Boston and points further north are expected to see an additional day of clouds and rain before skies clear on Thursday.
By Thursday afternoon, sun and warmth will begin to dry out the region, with high temperatures reaching the low 80s in some southern areas and low to mid 70s further northward. The temperatures will continue to rise from Friday to Sunday, and then dip as another rainstorm moves in next Monday.
Weekly Weather Report for March 22: Spring Brings Mix of Rain and Sun

After a getting a taste of just how pleasant spring weather can be, residents of the Northeast are facing dark skies and falling rain this morning, with more to come over the next couple days.
Spring officially sprang on Saturday, and the bright sun and warm temperatures throughout the region rang in the new season in style over the weekend. But on Sunday night, a patchwork of storms moved into the region from the south, bringing showers to some areas and steady rainfall to others. The scattered showers will continue all day Monday, with some thunderstorms possible, especially over Pennsylvania. Rain will likely become heavier by Tuesday as the storm hovers over New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and southern New England. Wednesday will be drier across the Northeast, though the skies will remain cloudy and wind will pick up. Thursday will bring a glimpse of sun before a new system of precipitation moves in on Friday. Next weekend should be another sunny one, but with cooler temperatures than were seen this past weekend.
Temperatures will stay relatively steady for most of the week, with highs in the low 60s near the coast, and mid to high 50s further inland and at higher altitudes. The second storm system poised to move into the Northeast on Friday is expected a bring a considerable drop in temperature (from a high of 59˚F down to 49˚F in New York City, for example) that will begin to inch back upward when sunny weather returns on Saturday.

Having survived several blizzards this winter, residents of the Northeast now have to face the springtime menace of rainstorms. A powerful storm that brought lots of water and wind to the region over the weekend and even felled trees and knocked out power in some areas is still lingering. The entire region, from Maryland to Maine, is seeing gray cloud cover and scattered showers today, with rain turning to sleet in Northern New York and New England and powerful winds blowing along the coast.
And now the good news: the worst of this storm’s soaking is behind us, and sunny days are ahead. The storm is expected to move out to sea by Tuesday afternoon, leaving behind partly cloudy skies and high temperatures from the low 50s in Maine to the High 50s in coastal areas like New York City. Following Tuesday, expect more sun and warmth, with areas along the coast and further south seeing temperatures stretch into the low 60s Wednesday through Saturday.
By Sunday, another rainstorm will have moved into the Northeast and will sprinkle on the region on Sunday and next Monday.

The official beginning of spring is still 12 days away, but in most of the Northeast today, it looks and feels like winter has made its exit. The clear skies and above-average temperatures that blanketed the region this weekend extend into today, with highs reaching into the upper 50s along the Massachusetts coast and into the low 60s in Washington, DC. However, northern New York State and New England could experience some light snow showers today and tonight.
The spring-like conditions will continue throughout the region until Friday, though temperatures will decrease somewhat, with overnight lows dipping into the mid-30s in many areas. By Friday a sizable rainstorm will settle over the Mid-Atlantic region, bringing rain showers to the Northeast as it drifts northward over the weekend.
Clear conditions will keep heating oil deliveries moving smoothly this week, and this weekend’s moderate rain should have no effect.
Weather Report March 1: Damp Winter Continues
A small storm is dampening much of New England this morning, but it will soon be replaced by a larger storm that will cover the Northeast with light to moderate rain and snow from now until Wednesday night. (image: weather.gov)
The winter of 2009-2010 has proven to be a wet one. The Northeast has battled what seems like an endless parade of winter storms, each one bringing several inches of snow and/or rain to different parts of the region. Last week we saw monthly snowfall in New York’s Central Park hit its highest point in over 100 years. Although spring is just 19 days away and temperatures are creeping upward, this week looks to be another damp one.
The eastern half of New England will see rain and snow showers of moderate intensity for much of today, thanks to a small Atlantic storm that’s bringing rain to coastal areas that will change to snow later today and tonight. The clear skies over the rest of the Northeast this morning won’t last for long, as another storm is approaching the region from the south, ready to deliver a dose of precipitation. That storm will move into New Jersey and southern Pennsylvania this afternoon and spread northward into the rest of the region this evening. The storm will drop rain in some areas and snow in others, depending on temperatures, which are expected to range from the high 20s in the northern and eastern sections of the region to the low 40s along the coast and further south from now until Wednesday evening.
The storm cover is expected to clear by Thursday morning, with partly cloudy conditions giving way to bright sunny days on Friday and Saturday that could lift temperatures to the mid 40s along the coast. The sun at the end week will help dry out the region, but will also mean colder temperatures for inland areas that could reach down to the mid-to-high-20s overnight as the week draws to a close.

Weekly Weather Report February 22: Warmer Temps, but Plenty of Snow and Rain
(image: weather.com)
With melting snow in parts of the Northeast over the weekend and sunny conditions in most of the region this morning, spring feels a little bit closer. This week, however, is expected to bring more wet weather that winter is famous for.
Clear skies this morning in much of the region will turn to clouds as a storm system moves in from the Midwest this evening. Snow and rain will begin to fall throughout the Northeast tonight after about 9 pm, with heavy rain along the coast from Southern Connecticut down to Maryland and light to moderate snowfall in upstate New York and most of New England. The rain and snow are expected to continue into Tuesday and Wednesday, with temperatures dropping to the high 20s/low 30s overnight and getting significantly warmer in the afternoons, up to the low 40s along the coast. In New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, and most of Connecticut, those temperature swings over the course of the day will determine whether precipitation will be in the form of rain, snow, or sleet.
The storm is forecast to disperse by late in the day on Wednesday, lessening the chances of precipitation on Thursday and Friday. Rain or snow is still more than 50 percent likely by the end of the week, however, as a second storm system could makes its way to the Northeast from the Southwest.
Sleet and ice will be the main concerns for heating oil delivery drivers from Monday night through Wednesday night, so customers with low tanks should set up deliveries for today if possible but otherwise consider delaying deliveries until Thursday or Friday, when driving conditions will be somewhat better.

Weekly Weather Report February 15: More Snow on the Way (But Not Too Much)
Precipitation forecast for the next 48 hours. (image: weather.com)
Don’t let today’s sunny skies fool you, Northereasterners—the clear and dry conditions present in most of the region this morning will give way to clouds and snow as early as this evening. Looks like the new snow storm we warned about on Friday will be arriving in the Northeast a little later than expected, but it will bring several inches on snow when it arrives.
There are two separate storm systems heading toward the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions: one snowstorm is moving eastward from the Ohio Valley while a rain storm is also moving eastward from the Southeast. The southern storm will likely move offshore before hitting areas north of Virginia, but as it meets up with the snowstorm from the Midwest, it could make for a mix of snow and rain along the southern edges of the Northeast in places like Philadelphia and New York City.

National precipitation forecasts for Monday and Tuesday this week. (image: weather.com)
The Mid-Atlantic Coast region is still digging itself out from the major snowstorm (the “snowpocalypse” to some and “snowmaggeddon” to others) that settled over the region over the weekend. While the storm reached Southern New Jersey and Philadelphia in full force, it did not reach as far north as Boston, and gave New York City just a mild dusting.
This week, many of those whited-out Mid-Atlantic areas can expect more of the same. Predictions are calling for another sizeable storm to move through the Midwest and reach the East Coast by Wednesday. This new storm is expected to bring significantly more snow to the tri-state area and New England. According to weather.com, “Wednesday will be a day of heavy snow and gusty winds across the Northeast, with lingering snow showers across the Northeast into Thursday. Blizzard or near blizzard conditions are possible on Wednesday.” Severe conditions could include icy roads and low visibility, which could delay heating oil deliveries in many parts of the Northeast. So if your tank is low, you’ll want to schedule a delivery before Wednesday afternoon.
Temperatures will hover at or slightly below average throughout the Northeast on Monday and Tuesday, with coastal areas seeing highs in the low 30s and high-elevation areas further inland seeing highs in the upper teens. The storm that arrives on Wednesday is expected to bring slightly warmer temperatures that will last through Friday.

Today’s Northeast Weather: More cold air moves in from the north and the Great Lakes today, keeping things chilly across the Northeast. Temperatures will remain in the teens and 20s in New England and the 30s in the Mid-Atlantic. Scattered snow showers are possible across the region, with up to an inch or two of accumulation, except along the eastern edges of Lake Ontario, where there may be up to a foot of lake-effect snowfall, and the coast of Lake Erie, which might receive up to three inches during the day.
Forecast for the Week: Temperatures will be warmer through the rest of the week, with highs in the teens in northernmost New England, ranging to the 30s and even 40s in New York and along the coast. Two winter storms will be moving into the area. One system will start Tuesday in Pennsylvania and western New York and bring varying amounts of snowfall to the entire Northeast by Wednesday. Another front will move in from the southwest early on Sunday, blanketing New York and New England with snow showers by that night.

Heating Oil Price Trend for January 29: +1¢
(image: midlandsconnect.com and Nicholas Whitaker via heatingoil.com)
Oil prices fluctuated with the stock market on Thursday, but an impending cold spell in the US Northeast gave the price of heating oil enough of a bump for it to end one penny higher on the day. The strength of the dollar continued to weigh on oil prices, as did concern about weak fuel demand, but those factors were effectively canceled out by optimism about the state of the US economy. Ben Bernanke’s confirmation as chairman of the Federal Reserve has buoyed stock markets, which have in turn been supportive of higher oil prices.
Today’s average retail heating oil price in the Northeast is 1 cent higher than Thursday’s average price.

Today’s Northeast Weather: Unseasonably mild weather moved through the region yesterday, with average temperatures 18 to 22 degrees above normal for late January. Temperatures were 22 degrees above average in Portland, Me. and Washington, D.C., and Long Island, NY experienced a record high of 55.
Temperatures today will be more typical of this time of year—highs today will range from around the high 30s across New England, New York State, and Pennsylvania, to the upper 40s near Chesapeake Bay. Yesterday’s precipitation will continue in Maine and in the western areas of Pennsylvania and New York, but should not be severe enough to disrupt heating oil deliveries.
Tomorrow’s Forecast: Highs tomorrow will range from the high 30s in New England to the low 40s in New York City and Long Island, and the mid 40s in Washington, D.C. This seasonal weather will precede a new blast of arctic air that will cause a noticeable drop in temperatures by the end of the week. Precipitation will also be light through most of the region, but lake-effect snow could be substantial in parts of Pennsylvania and New York.

Today’s Northeast Weather: HeatingOil.com readers in the Northeast are invited to consider which element of today’s weather is more remarkable: the intense precipitation and gusty winds, or the unseasonably warm temperatures. To start, heavy rain will dampen much of the Northeast today, mixing with snow in the interior this afternoon, and continuing through Wednesday. To make conditions even more grim, wind gusts will reach 50 mph in some areas. And while parts of the Northeast will see snow, others will witness eerily high temperatures, with highs ranging from the upper 30s in northern Maine to around 60 on the Delmarva Peninsula. New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia could all see temperatures in the mid and upper 50s.
Tomorrow’s Forecast: Heavy precipitation will persist in some areas of the Northeast through tomorrow, with another chance for snow on Thursday. However, the rains will clear over New York City and much of New England, with temperatures dropping back down into the mid 40s and winds dying down to 20 mph.

Highs today will range from the mid-forties in New York City and Connecticut to the mid-twenties in Vermont and Maine. Not so good news for lower regions of the Northeast: a wintry mix is causing slick roadways across eastern West Virginia, western Virginia, western Maryland and southern Pennsylvania. Occasionally heavy rainfall and wind will prevail over coastal Virginia until early afternoon. Temperatures are likely to hover in the low 40s. Drivers should use caution, while heating oil customers might expect minor delivery delays.
Tomorrow’s Forecast: Tomorrow will find most of the Northeast dry and sunny, with temperatures in the low-30s in Vermont and Maine and in the low 40s in New York City and Boston.

Today, a cold front is moving through the Northeast. (image: weather.gov)
Today’s Northeast Weather: Mild winter temperatures continue, especially along the Atlantic coast, but a cold front will begin to move through the Northeast today, bringing slightly lower temperatures and some fast-moving precipitation. New England can expect a light dusting of snow while the region from New York City is more likely to see rain showers. Roads should be generally clear today, with no major impediments to heating oil deliveries expected.
Tomorrow’s Forecast: Tomorrow is expected to bring increasing amounts of precipitation to the Northeast, with rain and freezing rain hitting the Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic areas. Further north, snow showers will cover New England tomorrow, and cold air will begin to suck sea moisture into the skies over Maine late today, leading to heavy snow tomorrow. Possible freezing rain tomorrow could slow heating oil deliveries significantly in the Appalachian and Mid-Atlantic beginning tomorrow morning, so if you need a refill this week, take care of it today!

Today’s Northeast Weather: A storm system that moved into New England late yesterday blanketed the region with snow and rain overnight. A quick blast of more heavy snow is possible in New England today, although most of the snow will move out by this afternoon and this evening.
The heaviest snow will bury parts of the New Hampshire and Maine coastlines with up to half a foot of snow by the end of the day. Meanwhile, 1 to 3 inches of snow can be expected from northern Massachusetts into eastern Maine.
Roads in these areas will be snow covered and slippery in spots, which may delay heating oil deliveries. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday travelers should be prepared for slower travel and delays.
Tomorrow’s Forecast: Another storm will move through the region tonight and tomorrow, but should be weaker than the storm that arrived on Sunday.
This second system should produce some relatively light snow through tomorrow.
