Potential New Tropical Storm May Form In Same Area That Launched Helene, Milton Potential New Tropical Storm May Form In Same Area That Launched Helene, Milton

"We expect another gyre to get going over Central America later next week," said AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva, "From this large, slowly spinning area of low pressure, a more distinct area of showers and thunderstorms may form, and from that, a tropical depression or tropical storm may evolve." The system could take two possible paths -- either northern (as Helene and Milton did) or southern. (See the first image above.) Meanwhile, …

Possibility Of Snow, Ice Storm For Northeast Next Week Hinges On One Factor: AccuWeather Possibility Of Snow, Ice Storm For Northeast Next Week Hinges On One Factor: AccuWeather
Possibility Of Snow, Ice Storm For Northeast Next Week Hinges On One Factor: AccuWeather A winter storm could hit the Northeast next week, but it depends on one factor, forecasters say.

Expert: Hurricane Isaias Will Likely Come And Go Quickly, With More Rain Than Anything Hurricane Isaias will likely bring plenty of rain to New Jersey this Tuesday but not the kind of wind anyone should be overly concerned with, one of the area’s leading weather experts said Saturday. “What usually happens with tropical cyclones as they move northward is the heaviest rain tends to fall to the west of the track and the center, while the strongest winds tend to be to the east of the track,” meteorologist Joe Cioffi said. Predicting weather accurately days in advance is next-to-impossible, with meteorologists making their most educated guesses and hoping for the best. Now and t…

Hang On Tight: Downed Trees, Power Lines Coming As Winter’s Last Gasp Hits 50+ MPH Hang On Tight: Downed Trees, Power Lines Coming As Winter’s Last Gasp Hits 50+ MPH

Gusts will hit more than 50 mph -- a last, powerful gasp from winter and the first genuine sign that spring is on its way, Joe Cioffi said. Unfortunately, that means downed trees and utility lines, along with the power outages and driving risks they bring. This follows a Saturday night rainstorm, offering “wind-blown hair, hat hair, and bad hair weath…
