Cold Air Returns Then Watching Next Weekend

7day

An arctic front will pass through the area today. This will bring in another shot of cold weather that will last well into next week. Monday and Tuesday will be the coldest days. We could even see some flurries or snow showers at time to time with the cold air.

Then our attention turns to next weekend. The long range models have been hinting at a strong storm next weekend. They continue to show the trend today so we need to keep an eye on it. At this time it appears Saturday would be the day and snow would be involved. But its 6 days away and a lot of things can change between now and then. For now its just a heads up. It’s purely coincidental that I put up my snow stakes n the driveway today! 😉 OK it’s not a coincident. I usually put them up with the Christmas decorations but didn’t this year with all the warm weather. So now that I did put them up, that means no storm! lol

Quick Overnight Wind & Rain Then Colder Next Week

A coastal storm will be moving up north into our area tonight and very early Saturday morning. Western New Jersey should see around 1/3 – 1/2″ of rain. In far northern and western section, especially in the Poconos, there could be some sleet and wet snow mixed in at time overnight.

Sunshine will return on Saturday before a strong cold front moves through the area later on Sunday. This will give us another strong cold blast for the first half of next week. High temperatures on Monday will not get out of the 20’s. We’ll keep an eye on the potential for snow snow showers or squalls when the cold air arrives.

Flurries-Light Snow Moving Into Region

First round of light snow is nearing the end in western New Jersey. There will be a lull in the activity as you can see in the radar above. The next area will be more likely to be snow squalls as this will be accompanied by the cold front.

Radar20160112-1404

Look for these flurries and snow showers to become more frequent as the afternoon wears on. Unfortunately the rush home might be the peak. These caused numerous accidents west of here in Indiana earlier today.

Coating of Snow Possible Today

12. January 2016 · Comments Off on Coating of Snow Possible Today · Categories: snow, weather discussion, winter · Tags: , ,

Accuweather

Good morning western New Jersey. We are waking up to mostly cloudy and cold this Tuesday morning. Today will feature two minor rounds of snow today. The first will be primarily flurries that will be around mid day. There could be a brief break then another round later in the afternoon into the evening. The second round could be more in the snow shower or even a snow squall as the arctic front moves through. Both of these could leave a coating in some areas to a 1/2″ or 1″ in others. Higher amounts will be to the north and west.

Cold week Ahead

20160111-WxGraph

Wanted to share the above weather graph from my home weather station in Stewartsville, NJ. Notice the impressive and steady temperature drop from early afternoon which is constant to right now! You can clearly see from the temperature (top) and the pressure (bottom) when the cold front came through. Of course many people in western New Jersey could also see and hear when the cold front came through yesterday! Not only were there impressive clouds and heavy rain squalls but thunder and lightning in some spots too! Quite impressive for January!

7day

A reinforcement of cold air is going to arrive on Tuesday courtesy of a fast moving storm system called a “clipper.” We will see flurries and even some snow showers in western New Jersey tomorrow into tomorrow night. It’s not out of the question that some locations could receive a dusting of snow by Wednesday morning. This is more likely to the north and west but could happen anywhere!

There will be a slight warm up by end of week followed by another storm late weekend into next week then more cold air.

Rainy Sunday Followed By Cold

10. January 2016 · Comments Off on Rainy Sunday Followed By Cold · Categories: weather discussion, weather forecast, winter · Tags: , , ,

20160110_083157

Rainy Sunday morning across western New Jersey this Sunday morning. Good news is it’s warm outside and the steady rain is already over. But there will be showers on and off for the next several hours. Most areas have received about 1″ of rain – some areas more. Stewartsville so far received 0.89″ of rain.

7day

Colder air arrives for the work week as has been advertised before. Daytime highs will be in the 30’s. A fast moving clipper system will visit western New Jersey Tuesday afternoon and evening that will not only usher in another arctic cold front but some light snow. Look for a possible dusting in some areas. More on that as we get closer.

As we look long range there could be a slight warm up by end of next week but a storm is possible around next weekend and even another one after that. Remember: it’s is mid January!
