Episodes

February 25, 2010

Low pressure rapidly deepened as it tracked north from the North Carolina coast Thursday morning the 25th of February to over the Tri-State area by Thursday evening. This was in response to a powerful upper level disturbance approaching the Eastern U.S coast. The low presure area then rotated over the region through Friday afternoon before finally lifting out on Saturday. This low brought a combination of heavy snow, heavy rain, coastal flooding and strong winds to the region Wednesday Night through Friday. One to two feet of snow were common across the region.

December 19, 2009

Coastal low pressure rapidly intensified Saturday night as it tracked northeast from off the Delmarva Coast...just southeast of the 40N/70W benchmark���and to southeast of Cape Cod by Sunday morning. This was in response to a powerful upper low approaching and then crossing south of the area. The track of low pressure to the southeast of the region and stubborn placement of arctic high pressure over the Northern US Plains and Southern Canadian Plains...ridging eastward...made for the ideal setup for heavy snow across most of the region. The rapid intensification of low pressure created widespread blowing and drifting of snow...particularly over eastern portions of the region...with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour and northeast winds of 15 to 25 mph and gusts 30 to 40 mph during the height of the storm. Snow totals ranged from 6 to 12 inches across the region...with around 1 ft across the NJ metro area.

October 7, 2009

Following the passage of a strong cold front, strong west winds developed. Peak gusts ranged from around 45 to 55 mph and caused scattered power outages.

February 12, 2009

An intense area of low pressure over the Eastern Great Lakes on the morning of February 12, tracked northeast and up into the Canadian Maritimes by evening. High winds developed near daybreak, right behind the cold front, and continued through the day. The strongest winds occurred during the morning and appeared to be associated with sharp pressure rises right behind the cold front. ||There were about 30,000 power outages across northern New Jersey, two fatalities, and delays of up to 3 hours at Newark Liberty International airport. ||The first death occurred at approximately 0630EST as a tree fell on a car on Route 22 in Mountainside, killing the driver, a 61-year-old female; the second death occurred at approximately 1338EST, when a large tree branch fell on a 61-year-old female in Newark. ||The following are some peak wind gusts across northern New Jersey: Bergen County, 61 mph at North Arlington; Essex County, 60 mph at Newark; Hudson County, 56 mph at Jersey City; Passaic County, 48 mph at Clifton; and Union County, 53 mph at Union.
