Hurricanes season preview

As we are just one month away from the start of the Atlantic hurricane season, I figured that I might as well write a little preview from my view on this upcoming season. This season begins on June 1st and ends on November 30 th. As we begin the La Nina the season which typically means the advancement of warmer water in the Atlantic a little earlier in the season, which mean a longer range of storms. Most storms at the beginning of the season develop closer to the shoreline because the lack of warm life giving and sustained water in points closer to the Africa. We will see these temps warm up quicker I believe this year. The temps will give us the longer season which means more storms in the basin. Which if their are more storms present the likelihood of landfall become more likely. So here is what I say:

13 named storms (Tropical Storms - Hurricane); 10 normal

(Tropical storms are sustained winds of 39 mph or higher)

7 of these storms will become Hurricanes; 6 normal

(Hurricanes are 74 MPH or higher)

3 Major Hurricanes

(Major Hurricanes have winds in excess of 111 MPH)

Weather this last full week of April

I have to apologize to everyone for not having the opportunity to post last week. Last week was PSNK theater Production, "Go back for murder", which I helped design the lighting and was in charge of set construction so. Right now, I'm watching so severe weather forming over Texas. A Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) tornado watch is over Texas now. This is producing some tornadoes and will probably become a mini outbreak before all is said and done. But over our region we will see, Rain and more rain over the next few days.

Tonight: Partly cloudy, low 44.

Tomorrow: Cloudy, periods of showers, likely during the afternoon. High 61.

Tomorrow Night: Cloudy, showers and thunderstorms likely, low 47.


Thursday: Cloudy, showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly afternoon, high 68.

Thursday Night: Cloudy, Showers and thunderstorms likely. Low 53.

Friday: Mostly cloudy, a chance of showers and thunderstorms, high 65.


Friday Night: Mostly cloudy, a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Low 46.

Saturday: Mostly cloudy, a chance of showers. High 62.

Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, low 45.

Sunday: Mostly sunny, high 69.

Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, low 50.

Monday: Partly cloudy, high 73.

Late season snowfall

You might have to take a look at the calendar over the next few days as we will see this cold weather continue and the potential for some snowfall. The National weather service in Pittsbutgh is not hyping this system like Accu- Weather is. According to map attached below just to our east is to receive a major snowfall.


However we will see a mix of rain and snow, but we still could see 1 to 2 nches of snowfall by Monday morning. So yeah look at the calendar.

Tonight: Partly cloudy, low 31.

Saturday: Mostly Cloudy, a slight chance of snow showers early changing over to rain showers. high 47.

Saturday Night: Cloudy, periods of rain showers, mixing and changing over to snow overnight. Low 31.

Sunday: Cloudy, periods of snow showers early, mixing with rain during daylight hours then changing back over to snow showers. High 43.

Sunday Night: Cloudy, rain showers early changing over snow showers after 12 am . Low 31.

Monday: Cloudy, Snow showers early changing to rain showers. High 45. Monday Night: Cloudy, a chance of rain and snow showers low 32.

Weather today

We will see the cold air continue over the next few days. Gradually we will move into more spring like weather but not before we deal with some rain at the end of the week. As I will mention in later tomorrow's or Wednesday's forecasts a storm system setting up that might bring some severe weather to the region over the weekend. I will update you on this again either tomorrow night or Wednesday.

Tonight - Cloudy, Low 25.

Tomorrow - Partly Cloudy, High 48.

Tomorrow Night - Increasing cloudiness, Low 38.

Wednesday - Cloudy, a chance of snow showers and rain mixed then becoming all rain , High 50.

Wednesday Night - Overcast with Rain. Heavy at times. Low 42.

Thursday - Mostly Cloudy with showers early. High 52.

Thursday Night - Partly Cloudy. Low 33.

April brings .......

Today and tomorrow we will see two of the best days of this season so far, but tomorrow night we will see some thunderstorms move into the region in front of a large storm system this system will also allow cool Canadian air to rapid move into the region. And when ever you see a set up like this you know that their is the potential for some severe thunderstorms to occur. After these roll though the temps will drop and we will see some payback for those warmer than average temps in December. We are talking about snowfall in the forecast, I doubt any accumulation but still a dusting in April is not completely out of the question.
