Clipper To Bring Snow Tuesday

30. January 2017 · Comments Off on Clipper To Bring Snow Tuesday · Categories: snow · Tags: ,

A fast moving storm will bring light snow to northern New Jersey Tuesday

The light snow could start before the morning commute and last a good portion of the day. Look for a coating to 1″ from I-78 on southward. North of there look for 1-2.” Temperatures tomorrow will not be as cold in the afternoon and its possible some areas, especially in the south, could see a little light rain at times in the afternoon.

The State pre treated the roads with brine as of yesterday so hopefully they will be fine as long as the rate of precipitation doesn’t get too heavy.

Updates as the situation changes.

Cooler, Seasonable Weather Late Week Into Weekend

24. January 2017 · Comments Off on Cooler, Seasonable Weather Late Week Into Weekend · Categories: winter · Tags:

Weather hasn’t been too terribly bad this January so far in western New Jersey. Sure we haven’t seen much of the sun and fog has been around. But at least we picked up some much needed precipitation and it has been above normal temperatures.

Western New Jersey should return back to seasonable late week into the weekend. Keep in mind we should have an average high temperature of 36 and overnight low of 19.

Nor’Easter Underway

Rain has made its way to western New Jersey as of mid day

As you can see on the radar above, the far norther and western locations are seeing some sleet or wet snow mixed in. This is mostly at the higher elevations.

Conditions will continue to deteriorate this rest of the day into the evening. Rain will continue to become steadier and heavier and winds will pick up. Stewartsville has recorded a wind gust to 31 at 11:46. There have been wind gusts in the 50’s closer to the shore.

Wind, Rain On The Way

23. January 2017 · Comments Off on Wind, Rain On The Way · Categories: winter · Tags: , , ,

A large complex storm system in the eastern half of the nation is going to evolve into a wind and rain maker for western new jersey area. This is part of the same storm system that brought deadly severe weather to the southeast yesterday.

Look for rain to develop today and become heavier and steadier as the day continues. Look for 3/4″ – 1.5″ of rain in western New Jersey.

Winds will also be a big factor for this storm. We are already seeing wind gusts to near 30 this morning. Look for wind gust to 45 later today into tomorrow. There is a Wind Advisory from the NWS until at least 7 pm tonight.

Since this is late January, we typical think snow when we have strong storms like this. There will be some snow from this system but will be far north and west of western New Jersey. I do expect some sleet to mix in a times especially tonight.

The extended January thaw looks to end before we start a new month.

Arctic Cold Leaving But Not Without Issues

09. January 2017 · Comments Off on Arctic Cold Leaving But Not Without Issues · Categories: snow, weather discussion, winter · Tags: , , , ,

Brrr! Most locations in western New Jersey woke up to single digit temperatures. Some areas further to the north were below zero! Certainly nothing unexpected for January weather but still cold none the less.

Today will remain cold but at least there will not be as much wind as yesterday making it feel a little more comfortable.

Our next weather system will be moving to our north and west. This will put us on the eventual warm side of the storm. Eventual is the key word. There is a good amount of cold air and snow covered ground over western New Jersey right now. It will take a while for it to all be pushed out by warmer winds. This will result in Tuesday, main in the afternoon, of another snow to sleet to freezing rain day before it eventually turns to rain. Before that changeover I’m forecasting a coating to 1″ followed by some ice on untreated surfaces. To make matters worse this should still be happening by the afternoon rush.

This will be relatively light precipitation but it doesn’t take much to make things slippery. The only good news is there is a tremendous amount of salt on area roads so hopefully they will not be too bad.

The Big Chill

08. January 2017 · Comments Off on The Big Chill · Categories: snow, winter · Tags: , ,

The combination of some snow on the grounds, brisk winds and January will make today a downright chilly if not bitterly cold day. Wind chills will not get about the single digits while actual air temperatures don’t make it out of the low to mid 20’s.

Stewartsville received 1.1″ of new snow yesterday. There was less to the north and more to the south and east as expected.

The cold won’t last forever. Look for us to go above freezing on Tuesday and high temperatures look to remain above normal mid to late week. There are even signs of a January thaw on the weather map!

Updated Snow Forecast

Updated snow forecast from the NWS

I agree with the above. Since I have nearly 1″ in Stewartsville already (0.9″) I think a 1-3″ forecast is safe – again the higher numbers will be the the south and east and lower numbers to the north and west.

Winter Weather Advisory For Hunterdon and Morris

The NWS sees the westward shift of the precipitation shield and has issued a Winter Weather advisory for Hunterdon and Morris counties. Their forecast for these areas is now 2-4″. I agree with that and think the 2″ will be the the north and west with the 4″ mark in the south and east sections.

Fringe Flakes

07. January 2017 · Comments Off on Fringe Flakes · Categories: snow · Tags: ,

Living on the edge. Most locations of western New Jersey will be on the outer edge of snow courtesy of a coastal storm to our south and east on Saturday. Flurries have just started falling in Stewartsville and will continue on and off today. I sill like the idea of a coasting to 1″ with the potential of more to the south and east. Some locations in southern Hunterdon county could see closer to 2″.

One thing is certain today and tomorrow” it will be cold. Temperatures will remain in the 20’s today and the wind will come back Sunday making it feel even colder!

NWS snow forecast map for our area. Note how much more will fall from this storm to our south and east!
