Cool airmass but generally lighter winds coming this week. Tuesday's weather will be sunny to start the day then afternoon cumulus cloud growth with likely some showers or even graupel/snow mixed #nswx #pewx

Improving weather tomorrow (Tuesday) for the most part with some sunny conditions developing especially over western Nova Scotia where the temperature will rise to the upper teens and possibly 20/21C (70F) by ~4pm. #nswx

Meanwhile in the North Pacific Ocean, Super Typhoon threatening the Northern Mariana Islands - Saipan in particular. #TyphoonSinlaku #ZoomEarth

Here in Aotearoa / New Zealand our attention is also on Cyclone Vaianu which is expected to land in the next 24 hours.

Subtropical Storm Vaianu is about to make landfall on the north island of New Zealand. The system honestly looks as well organized as it had for quite some time but there are too many fronts involved for it to be considered tropical. It has an eye tho, which is cool.

Simple graph (sketch/estimate) showing how the sun angle this time of year is same as late Aug/early Sept but the ocean temperatures vastly different. They take a very long time to warm, naturally. 2+ months. #nswx

Forecast Friday - lots of sun and southerly winds with the typical sharp gradients in temperature. #nswx #pewx #nbwx

Most snow (3-7cm) last night right along the Atlantic coast.

Some April snow tonight. #nswx #pewx

Artemis launch as seen on GOES-East satellite! (And coming very soon to MyRadar - mesoscale satellite views!)

Sentinel satellite image of the City of Lakes (Dartmouth) from Saturday March 28. Can you identify the lakes and which ones still had some ice?

Insane March heat wave in west, central US This hasn't gotten enough attention so we wanted to share some more info. Look at this NWS map of all of the cities that tied or broke all-time March temp records late last week. CWG's Ian Livingston found 500+ locations set March record highs. (1/2)

The last week of March is shaping up to be colder than normal across most of Canada, while the opposite is expected across most of the U.S. #ArrestedSpring Map adapted from Weatherbell.

Subtropical cyclone #Samuel / #Jolina recently made landfall near New Brega, Libya. Rains and winds prevail over the surrounding area, but conditions may improve as the system will rapidly weaken soon. Please stay safe! Winds: ~65 km/h Pressure: 994 hPa 📸 CIRA/EUMETSAT

Early spring conditions today ... here are temperatures (C) around 12:30 pm. Up to 17C/63F so far. #nswx #pewx

Cold tonight folks ... before the warm-up on weekend. HRDPS model temps before sunrise: #nswx #pewx #nbwx

Lunar eclipse early today as moon set over Halifax

Lunar eclipse at moonset ~6:00-6:50 am Tues March 3rd here in Halifax (and anywhere in Maritimes). Sky looking favorable here. Situate yourself at a high point to possibly see it. Moon should turn orange/red especially in the upper left portion. timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/c...

Weather system this evening/tonight moving across NS and PEI. Here are the amounts of snowfall (blue shades map, cm) and rain showers (green shades map, mm) to expect based on one weather model (HRDPS). #nswx #pewx

About 20 cm here in Dartmouth ... plus what will be ~5 mm or so of rain. Plenty of drifting. Wind will drop out to near calm around 2 am as the low tracks just to our south. #nswx

Reports of thunder snow on the South Shore! Lightning was detected not along ago east of Liverpool to the south of Cape LaHave Island. #NSStorm #NSwx

Weather outlook for the next few days. #nswx #pewx #nbwx

Summary of some of new snow totals (cm) from the recent weather system. You'll probably notice variability around your property depending on the surface. The snow partly melted during day yesterday. Data from cocorahs.org and a few official sites. #nswx #pewx #nbwx

As of 9pm 7-11 cm (Halifax/Dartmouth) depending on the surface - high sticking-factor with this snow. Wind increase overnight could lead to some utility interruptions again. #nswx. Likely reach 15 cm in spots.

Rather quiet weather pattern here in Nova Scotia for the next little bit...near to slightly below normal temps for next few days then a moderating trend likely. #nswx

The extent of the cold airmass into the tropics is impressive. Note below freezing temperatures in far southern Florida! Even Jamaica seeing temps below 20C/67F and dew points around 12C/54F

50 years ago today was the very destructive Groundhog Day Gale that impacted western Nova Scotia and southern New Brunswick (the most severe impacts were there) with 2m of storm surge and high winds. #nswx #nbwx

Here's our latest preview of the likely winter storm here in Nova Scotia overnight Sunday night / Monday morning. Southern NB and PEI should also keep an eye on upcoming forecasts. #nswx #pewx #nbwx

Very cold weekend in the SE States. Sunday will be particularly cold with afternoon temperatures near 10 or 11C in Miami and barely 13C (55F) in Key West. #flwx

Snowfall totals for the past 2 days up till this morning. Note the enhanced totals in the Toronto region - very likely lake-exacerbated factors leading to this historic event for them. #onwx #nswx #canwx #uswx #mawx

Forecast timeline for Halifax / central Nova Scotia. Certainly is the dead of winter. 🥶❄️🌨️ #nswx

Temperature outlook to finish January. #nswx

Heavy/wet snow overnight amounted to ~13-14 cm here in Halifax/Dartmouth ... about 22 mm if it had fallen as rain. Some bushes and tree limbs are weighted-down quite a bit. #nswx #pewx Other amounts in cm (seemingly peculiar variability likely due to wetness/elevation factor of the snow):
