Josh's passion for weather began at a very young age. Experiencing tornado-warned supercells and major snowstorms in Eastern PA furthered his interest. He enjoyed creating hand-drawn forecasts of his own in his pre-teen years. By the time Josh was 12, he owned his first weather website and often posted forecasts for the Northeast US. At 13, he joined popular weather page based in York, PA, eventually parting ways in 2015. He then started Northeast Weather Action in 2015, and later decided to focus on his home state of Pennsylvania. Throughout the years, his fascination and knowledge in meteorology grew steadily. Josh is currently a junior in college and the owner of Pennsylvania Weather Action, LLC.
Another storm is taking aim at our area Thursday morning into Friday morning. This time we are talking about mainly snow, with only some minor wintry mix concerns in southeast PA. This may be the last pure snow event of the season for some of us, as this cold and stormy pattern will finally breakdown…
With nearly all of the Lower 48 states experiencing below average temperatures, and some areas extremely below average, you would expect us to be predicting snow. That is not the case, as this low pressure system will move up the Appalachians, before transferring to a coastal low pressure over our heads. The transfer will be…
FINAL CALL FORECAST POSTED: After three weeks of central and eastern PA getting most of the snow, the infamous southeast ridge will do its best to give western PA their fair share. A significant winter storm will impact the area Monday into Tuesday morning, bringing snow to western and northern PA and ice to much…
One of the most active weather patterns in decades continues, as another small winter weather event looks likely Saturday evening into the early morning hours of Sunday. This storm will probably just be a warm-up for next week, as two potentially significant winter storms, each with the threat of widespread ice, look possible. We will…
Much more of the state will be impacted by the snow coming late this evening into Thursday morning, as guidance has shifted north (shocking). Snow will move in from west to east after dinnertime, and continue through tonight before wrapping up around dawn Thursday. Moderate snow accumulation is expected, with highest amounts to be generally…
FORECAST UPDATED: Snow Amounts Increased in Final Call Forecast for Tonight – Thursday Morning’s Snow Event A weak system moving across the eastern US is likely to bring two minor waves of snowfall to much of southern Pennsylvania both Thursday morning and Friday morning. Right now, we expect the Thursday morning wave to bring…
To say this winter is not going to plan would be an understatement. February is typically the most mild month during La Nina winters, but that will be quite the opposite this season. Another snow event is set to impact the area, this time during the Tuesday morning commute. The timing with this one, along…
Often times we have seen models overdo confluence this year and storms have trended northwest in the final one or two days before the storm. But this time, that will not be the case. Model guidance has lowered snow amounts somewhat. With a brutal supply of cold air to our northwest, it’s no surprise this…
After the state was just slammed by a massive winter storm earlier this week, you would think maybe Mother Nature would give us a break. Unfortunately that won’t be the case for some of us. A quick-hitting coastal storm will produce moderate to heavy snow over a short period of time on Sunday morning. The…
While some locations mainly south of I-76 picked up a few inches so far today, most of the snow from this major storm will come Monday when the coastal low pressure really gets going. Snowfall rates of 2-3″ an hour are expected in the heaviest snowfall banding across eastern PA Monday. Central PA will see…
Tracking this storm has certainly been a roller coaster ride. As of Thursday morning, it seemed there was a consensus that most of the state would see a major snowstorm. Then as the day went on, models began to trend south with the heavy snow axis. This morning, questions still remained with most models in…
We are now three to four days out from early next week’s potential major storm, meaning it’s time for scenario maps. Model guidance at this range has given us a few different scenarios. Trends today have been to keep the low pressure off the coast near Ocean City, quieting sleet worries in southern PA. However,…
We continue to watch the potential for a significant winter storm beginning Sunday afternoon, and possibly lasting all the way until Tuesday morning in parts of Pennsylvania. As model guidance starts to converge on a probable solution, we are entering the “this storm is actually happening” phase. We know that especially even more so recently,…
After going three weeks without any widespread winter weather to talk about in January, we are finally expecting a moderate winter storm. A weakening low pressure system coming from the Great Plains will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the state, starting Monday evening and continuing into Tuesday for many. Travel disruptions are expected…
After an impressive December with above average snowfall, what do the next three months of winter have in-store for Pennsylvania? While we will only be covering January in this outlook, we will say that it’s looking more and more likely that most of the state will end this winter with above average snowfall overall, which…
