Whew! So far so good…just windy!

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Feb 25th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I’ve been keeping an eye on the current storm for more than altruistic reasons as I had to travel back home this morning via Reagan National Airport. I was hoping the models were right that showed the major nor’easter staying well off to our east, and …



Monster storm to barely miss us

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Feb 23rd, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

This monster is forecast to loop around us out to sea and then retrograde (move back westward) into the northern Mid-Atlantic and New England. Blizzard conditions will likely prevail north of here…I wouldn’t want to go north of Baltimore this week!A…



This week’s storms

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Feb 21st, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It seems that I’ve been vindicated with my confusion over the differences between NWS Sterling’s earlier forecasts and my reading of the model data for tomorrow’s events. The official forecast for us is now all rain, which should help with the melting…



Night time lightning video from May 09 OK chase

This is posted for me…specifically to treat my chronic case of SDS that I can’t seem to shake given the eternal continuance of the Winter of 2010. (If it helps you too that’s a good thing.)It’s from May 8th near Ardmore Oklahoma.



I’m a bit confused here…

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Feb 19th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Why, you ask?(a) NWS Sterling forecasters are calling for precipitation to begin after midnight Sunday as mixed rain and snow. On the medium and long range models I don’t see any hint of precipitation until around noon Monday, almost 12 hours later wh…



Upcoming storm may be mostly wet, not frozen

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Feb 17th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Latest model runs seem to be converging on a track west of here for the forecast low pressure that will affect us on Monday. This means we’ll be on the “warm” side of the system which could lead to little or no snow accumulation. I’m not quite ready …



Future weather news

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Feb 16th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Weather for the remainder of this week looks like it will be dry and near normal temperatures, with highs actually into the mid-40’s which should help the melting continue. The forecast models depict a system coming through here sometime between late …



Oops! Wrap around snow causes headaches!

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Feb 16th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I was feeling pretty good about yesterday’s weather results, with the snow ending as a bit of rain with no accumulation. That is…until I got up this morning to head out to work and discovered that the departing clipper system had deposited a fresh …



Clipper moving through now

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Feb 15th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It’s been snowing for just over two hours now and the back edge of the radar returns are already halfway through Spotsylvania county. I’m thinking most of our area will be done with snow by 4:15 or so, and since most of it has been melting as it falls…



Good news for those weary of the white stuff!

By From http://fburg-weather.blogspot.com/ • Feb 14th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The last couple of model runs have trended northward with the oncoming Alberta clipper, with the center of the storm looking like it will track directly over DC. That means our area will likely be in the warm sector (between the small scale warm and c…
