Today at 8:07 pm EDT we will official transform from the season of winter to the season of spring. This of course is astrological not meteorological because the weather people take winter from December 1 - March 1, the coldest period of the year. We will begin to see more warm temperatures at least over the next few days. A very nice day today we have on tap and this will continue over the next few days with a chance of showers start tomorrow. But I doubt it will be a wash out for the next few day.
The rest of the day: Mostly sunny, High 45.
Tonight: Mostly clear, Low 25.
Wednesday: Increasing clouds, a chance of showers , High 51.
Wednesday Night: Mostly Cloudy, a slight chance of showers. Low 43.
Thursday: Partly cloudy, a chance of showers , High 63.
Thursday Night: Partly cloudy, a chance of showers, Low 49.
Friday: Mostly cloudy, a chance of showers, High 64.
Friday Night: Mostly cloudy, a chance of showers. Low 44.

First few day back from spring break
After a nice end of spring break snowstorm we will see temperature in the beginning of the next week becoming more seasonal. This will only add to the runoff thus creating a situation that could help the rivers flood more especially if the high on Tuesday exceeds the forecasted high of 52.
Tonight: Mostly cloudy, a chance of snow showers, Low 19.
Sunday: Partly Cloudy, a chance of flurries. High 38.
Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, Low 22.

Severe weather/Rain/Flooding into Friday Morning
Severe weather/Rain/Flooding into Friday Morning
Severe weather as shown in the mpa below are the 3 concerns that I have in Northeastern Ohio we have a nice big heavy rain band that will move across the northern regions. This is following what I titled as 3 in Northern PA a stronger line of thunderstorms that moved through the area and is heading eastward. Number 2 is stronger thunderstorms that move through southern westmoreland county earlier.
Heavy Rain showers will contutine tomorrow bring about 1 to 2 inches of rainfall to the region.
The potential for some flooding to occur over the next few days exists. From the NWS in Pittsburgh:
PERIODS OF RAIN OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY WILL BRING RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES BEFORE ENDING BY THURSDAY EVENING. THE RAINFALL MAY BE ENOUGH TO BRING STREAMS AND CREEKS OUT OF THEIR BANKS.
If you want to check about the river close to you click here.
I will update mid day tomorrow after some more guidance develops on this weather event.
Blizzard of 1993
Blizzard of 1993
The superstorm of 1993 is believed by many in the meteorology profession and weathercasters around the nation as the storm of the century, the weather channel has said this the third in storms of the century behind the super tornado outbreak of 1974 and the labor day hurricane of 1935. This storm system began to develop a week ahead of time. The models at the beginning of the week of March 8th and ending with Saturday the 13th, were beginning to show a significant chance of a major winter storm developing over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. As the week progressed it became more and more clear how much snow we would indeed get out of this storm system.
As a third grader I loved to help everyone
This is where I began to get hooked on the weather. I loved watching just how these weathercasters were able to predict this storm system many days in advance with a great deal of accuracy, thus warn people of the pending storm system and the hazardous conditions that it would cause. Even with these forecasts produced the St. Patrick’s day parade in Downtown Pittsburgh marched on. This as literally, everything was getting struck from news trucks on there way to the parade route to Police cars on patrol. The city was in grid lock but the show of Pittsburgher’s St. Patrick’s Day spirit marched on.

However the worst was only yet to come, the storm turned into a huge storm system early afternoon, the National Weather Service here in Pittsburgh issued Blizzard warnings which the NWS defines as, “Blizzard Warning - Sustained winds or frequent gusts of 35 mph or greater, considerable falling and/or blowing snow reducing visibility frequently to 1/4 mile or less for a period of three hours or more. There are no temperature criteria in the definition of a blizzard but freezing temperatures and 35 mph winds will create single digit wind chills.” Link. The snow became heavier and I noticed that because as a 3rd grade having a huge hill in my backyard next to route 28 I was sledding and noticed not many vehicles come down 28. The next thing I remember which I will never forget is at 5 pm everything seemed to stand still nobody was any longer coming down 28 and every fire whistle was blowing where I lived. The state closed the Interstate’s and most of the state maintained highways. The Fire departments were calling in everybody because they wanted crews at the fire house if a fire happened instead of have the time added to get to the fire house. I will always remember coming in and asking my parents what is happening? And seeing on the news how many thins were closing and how much this city was paralyzed. I knew that this was bad, every county in the commonwealth was declared a disaster area. If this storm happened over a weekday I often wonder how much worst would it have been? Granted we did have a lot of lead time but would people follow it?
That is why I have chosen to be a weatherman to help educate and give people my knowledge of the weather in the means of an accurate forecast. People need to know what the weather will do the next day and this is why I am here, deciding to work as a broadcast weathercast eventually becoming a broadcast meteorologist with a degree from Miss. State in 2010.
