Most thought May's was a clunker from a weather standpoint, but there were some good parts too. Here's the summary of what went down across eastern New York and western New England. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

My look at the upcoming summer, the months of June, July and August, including the CPC forecast, as well as a discussion about the impacts background climate change is having on gradually making the season warmer over time. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

Today's the 30th anniversary of the Hillsdale, NY and Great Barrington, MA tornadoes. Here's a look back which includes some of our coverage during and after the event. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

On paper April wasn't a bad month for us, despite many of you thinking it was a clunker. Here's my look back - cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

It’s a nice start to May in the Capital Region with a great evening sky and mild, pleasant breeze. This of course precedes what will be days of gloom in Our very near future. Womp womp

Yes, Virginia. Corporate media is a problem. Thank you Scott.

Now more than ever, the weather community needs everyone's help in order to continue providing accurate forecasts and information in addition to saving lives. Great read and info on how you can help.

Today I'm looking at the relation that's been shown between increasing rainfall (snowfall too) in conditions that support heavy rain, and our warming Climate with this analysis from our partners at Climate Central. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

The yard is really lighting up with spring color, flowers opening up fast with the warm weather

I'm wrapping up svr wx awareness week with a look at how to prepare for the season and stay informed when svr wx threatens.Links to this week's previous topics, T'storms, Tornadoes, Lightning and flooding are here: cbs6albany.com/weather/weat... Here's today's article: cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

Today's severe wx awareness week topic is flooding, particularly flash flooding from slow moving t'storms. This week's previous topics, T'Storms, Tornadoes, and lightning can be found here: cbs6albany.com/weather/weather-extra Here's today's topic link: cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

Severe weather awareness week in New York and New England continues. I'm looking at "Lightning" today. You can find this and the other topic articles in the cbs6albany.com/weather/weather-extra of our website. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

It's Earth Day today so I put together a little article on what it's about and how ironically since the first Earth Day, greenhouse gas emissions have only increased, which has increased the impact of human induced warming of the planet. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

Svr. Wx awareness week continues this week in NY and New England. Yesterday I looked at thunderstorms, today's topic is tornadoes. Last year was a record year for them in New York with 32 confirmed, 10 of those in the local area. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

Nice sky over Schenectady right now

A National Weather Service with insufficient data and an exhausted and demoralized staff will struggle to keep up with the documented increases in climate-fueled weather extremes. "When scientists and weather forecasters are targeted, everyone loses," by @johnmoralestv.bsky.social.

This week is severe wx awareness week in NY and New England and I'm kicking it off with everything you need to know about T'Storms from how they develop, the types, how destructive they can be when they become severe, as well as how the watch/warning system works. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

Wild weather occurred locally today in weather history in 2021. There was cold and snow along with severe weather including a couple of tornado touchdowns. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

shelf cloud going over the station, just in advance of a gusty downpour

Three ago today in weather history we got slammed by a spring storm that dumped heavy wet damaging snow and resulted in significant power outages in large parts of our area Just an example of how wildly varying April weather can be. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

It’s faint but there’s a little solar halo action going on right now.

Spring is lighting up in upstate NY, forsythia now coming into bloom - Clifton Park, April 17

25 years ago today in weather history, Albany's second largest April snow storm on record to date hit, this after a mid 70 degree day. We didn't see it coming either. Here's the look back. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

A little spring on this windy wintry feeling spring day. I tossed these bulbs in the woods years ago because they didn’t bloom any more in the yard. They naturalized and every year now I get this spring bonus in the woods

On this date in weather history back in 2016, we had an unusual severe weather event that produced damaging convective wind in a narrow corridor impacting the Capital Region up to Glens Falls. Here's a look at what happened. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

Here's a look at our just concluded March in the Capital Region and surrounding area...all the facts and stats. compiled for you here: cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

Very cool evening sky with sprinkles in progress here at CBS6

A pretty big storm got underway just last year today in weather history. It produced a damaging downslope wind storm, heavy sleet, and in some places heavy wet spring snow. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

Nice 22 degree solar halo over Clifton park right now

NWS just announced a major reduction in upper-air (weather balloon) observations due to staffing shortages. Omaha and Rapid City losing balloon launches altogether, with launches cut in half at 6 other sites. Losing this many launches could affect severe weather forecasting and computer models.

Warm again today with temps. running a good 20° higher than typical. Background climate warming making the level of today's warmth 1.5 times more likely according to Climate Central's Climate Shift Index. Same air mass and pattern 50-60 years ago would still have been warm, just not this warm.

Climate Central's Climate Shift Index showing a strong connection to back ground climate warming in how high today's temps. climbed in the upper Mississippi valley with the level of warmth made 3-5 times more likely than if climate warming had not occurred.

St. Patrick's Day parade weather is looking good in Albany this Saturday...breezy, but that's Albany, mild and dry...similar conditions to how it was last year.

Total lunar eclipse on schedule for very early Friday morning...viewing conditions look pretty good for us in the Capital Region. Some patchy clouds around but clear periods too. Expect temperatures in the 30s with light wind conditions.

Just two years ago today in weather history, a major heavy wet snow storm hit the region. Some higher elevation spots came in with up to 36" of snow. Lots of power outages resulted. Here's my summary of that event: cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

Lots of wind lately, there's no doubt about that...but winter and spring are very windy times of the year so that's typical. Quantifying whether or not the level of wind has been unusual is a challenge. Here's my look, cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

Here's a nice video from NASA's Visualization Studio explaining Lunar eclipses...this in advance of the total lunar eclipse happening early this Friday morning March 14. svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11516/

Proud of our local federal congressman. He gets it - thanks for advocating for the meteorology community @reppaultonko.bsky.social!

Such a sad story by @sedensky.bsky.social

We're now in Meteorological Spring and we've got a little bit of spring feel to the air today. The season is getting warmer and that's impacting the length of the growing and allergy season. Here's a look at the impact of climate change on spring in the Capital Region. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

Scoop: ~33% of NWS offices no longer have sufficient staffing to safely keep 24/7 operations. Critically understaffed @nws.noaa.gov offices now include: Boston Miami Houston Omaha Wichita Kansas City Marquette, MI Sioux Falls, SD Rapid City, SD Cheyenne, WY www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Article dump today, here's the look back at our just concluded winter, 2024-'25, yes it was cold, but in the grand scheme, it really wasn't. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

March is traditionally a highly active weather month with extreme swings, today it's high wind and cold, in 2022 on this date it was a severe weather event. That's what I'm looking at in "Today in Weather History. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

A sobering — and critical — 4 minutes from my colleagues in Pennsylvania about the hollowing out of the National Weather Service and its parent organization, NOAA. Massive thanks to Marissa Ferger and @roblydick.bsky.social. "...the NWS costs each American about a penny a day."

February was annoying, here's a look back at how the month;s weather went down throughout the Capital Region area. cbs6albany.com/weather/weat...

I support NOAA/NWS, and am deeply saddened at the abrupt mass firings today of some of the country’s top talent in the climate/weather/and ocean science spaces among others. This is a national tragedy

Sunrise from Hallandale Beach, FL this morning. Rare on my shift to see a sunrise, but vacation does offer the rare opportunity

Saw the SS United States yesterday as she was passing Ft. Lauderdale on her way to the Gulf of Mexico where she’ll be sunk to make an artificial reef. Pretty awesome to see

High wind watch up from NWS for Sunday night and Monday as the concern for particularly strong and damaging wind is increasing. Peak gust potential 60-65 mph. With snow and ice likely on the trees from Sunday, the power outage potential in this type of wind scenario would be high.

Our weekend storm will bring front end snow, then significant sleet and freezing rain on Sunday. Snow/sleet forecast is through noon Sunday and is sensitive to changeover times. Icing potential is significant on Sunday, power outages possible along with hazardous travel conditions.
