At-a-Glance Forecast










Mon.PMTue.AM

Update: WHOA! Look at the real-time radar! We've got a major flight underway, being squeezed to the coast by a frontal boundary heading east. This is the perfect scenario for fallout conditions tomorrow morning, favoring migrant traps from central NJ east to the coast...

Migration Weather Forecast

Monday Night

Northerly winds early on Monday night are triggering heavy migration into the eastern mid-Atlantic region. A cold front making its way east is packing heavy precipitation which will effectively shut down migration during the night and early morning. This combination of factors will likely lead to fallout conditions on Tuesday morning.

Birding Forecast

Tuesday Morning

Fallout conditions are likely from central NJ to the east coast. North to northwest winds are funneling birds into the southeast mid-Atlantic including Cape May, NJ and Bombay Hook, DE.
