Unsettled Week Ahead

30. November 2015 · Comments Off on Unsettled Week Ahead · Categories: Fall, weather discussion, weather forecast · Tags: , , ,

Today western New Jersey will see a gradual increase and thickening of clouds across the area. Temperatures will be cool but seasonable. Tonight if some of the rain comes in fast enough, some section further to the north and the west might actually be cold enough for some freezing rain or sleet at the onset of the storm. Please be mindful of this. I will try and post updates if it looks to be more widespread. Right now it looks like the exception instead of the rule – only in those areas to the N & W that usually get colder than surrounding areas.

Rain will continue off and on Tuesday into Wednesday. Right now we looking at 1/2 to perhaps 1″ of rain for the area. I’ll update this if needed.

Some snow flurries are moving through mostly northern sections of western New Jersey this chilly Tuesday morning. These should pass through in the next 2 hours or so.

7day

After that we should see a gradual clearing of the skies. Another cold night tonight then we start a warm up that will delight black Friday shoppers! Next chance of rain is Saturday morning.

If I don’t have a chance to post this before Thursday I’d like to wish all blog readers a wonderful Thanksgiving!

From the above map we can see that most locations in western New Jersey received around 1″ of rain. Stewartsville received 1.18″ There were some slightly more reports further to the east.

Today will be a seasonable day for the end of November. On Saturday night a secondary cold front will pass through the area bringing coldest air of the new season for Sunday into early next week. Look for highs on Sunday thru Tuesday not getting out of the 40’s. There is a chance that some areas may see a sprinkle or some wet snow flakes late Saturday into Sunday morning but it shouldn’t be much.

Long range outlook for Thanksgiving has warmer more seasonable weather for Thanksgiving with high temperatures in the low 50’s.

A strong cold front will be crossing western New Jersey on Thursday. Rain from this system could start as early as late tonight or early Thursday morning. The bulk of the rain will be late morning into the afternoon. The worst of it should be over in the evening. Expect 1/2″ – 1″ of rain for the area. Some areas that receive downpours could receive more. As you can see from the graphic above, it will deposit a good amount of rain for the East coast.

Once this system passes we say goodbye to above normal temperatures for a while. Friday will be close to seasonable with highs in the low to mid 50’s. Saturday will be near 50. Then a below normal stretch starts on Sunday into next week with high temperatures only in the 40’s! It will feel cold but it is the second half of November after all.

Most of the leaves are off the trees now in western New Jersey. Today, Monday should be the pick of the week weather-wise. A great day to go outside and finish any last minute outdoor chores (like me). Look for mostly sunny and highs in the low to mid 60’s.

Thursday looks to be our rainy day this week and we could receive a good amount as shown on the map above. Right now it looks like afternoon into evening.

7day

Cooler air arrives on Tuesday then increasing clouds on Wednesday for the system that will bring us rain on Thursday. Fair and cooler weather looks accurate for next weekends as of right now.

Western New Jersey has already seen wind gusts to the upper 30’s so far today with 38 being recorded n Stewartsville. Let’s hope the power system stays on!

JCPL

My lights have already flickered twice. The map above from JCP&L shows there are scattered power outages in the area.

The winds should remain tonight and into Saturday. They will calm down a little Saturday evening but Sunday will be a breezy day as well

Get Ready For the Wind!

Western New Jersey has already seen some light rain this morning. Look for more periods of light rain to continue today. As seen in the above radar, some is about to move in from the SW. Look for amounts to be about 1/4″ in general.

This rain is associated with a fast moving cold front. This is tied to the same storm that brought snow to the Rockies. No we’re not going to get snow here – sort of. But it will get real windy on Friday as a result of the front pushing through and the intense storm passing by accompanied by high pressure moving in. Winds could easily gust to 40 mph. Please secure any holiday decorations. As always watch wet leaves on the roadways.

Up in the Poconos and far north west New Jersey on Saturday, there’s a chance of seeing some wet snow showers. Temperatures on Saturday will feel colder than they are due to the wind. Temperatures should stay most of the day in the 40’s and perhaps peeking at 50 for a daytime high. Winds should gradually diminish later on Saturday.

Thank You Veterans!

I’d like to start off today’s post with a huge thank you to all past and present veterans who served to protect our country! Make sure you get your free car wash if you are near a Shammy Shine car wash today. More info at their website.

Today’s weather should gradually improve in western New Jersey. We should see some breaks of sun but clouds will dominate for most of the day. Look for temperatures to be around 60 degrees for a daytime high. Thursday will feature a cold front that will move through the area with some showers. Look for less rain than we received on Tuesday (Stewartsville received almost 1/2″ of rain).

Windy and cooler weather will dominate Friday into Saturday reminding us it’s November.

On and Off Rain for Tuesday

Look for periods of rain on Tuesday. Right now we are in between two areas of rain. Steadier rain is to our east and moving away from us. An upper level disturbance is bringing slightly steadier rain to our west and that is heading in our direction. Look for that to arrive later this afternoon into the evening. Right now it looks like 1/4″ to 1/2″ of rain in general – some spots a little more.

 

Rain on the way for Tuesday

A storm system developing to our south and west will move into western New Jersey Tuesday morning and provide needed rain on and off for much for the day. Most areas should pick up 1/4″ – 1/2″ or rain. Some areas that receive heavier downpours will receive more – perhaps as much as 1.” Winds will pick up out of the East and North East and be gusty at time. It will feel like a November day I’m sure.

Veteran’s Day should feature dry weather with partly cloudy skies for western New Jersey and seasonable temperatures. An approaching front will bring a chance of rain shower back into the area on Thursday. Right now the weekends looks good with seasonable weather.
