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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Today could very well go down on the books as one of the top 10 best fall weather days in 2015 for western New Jersey. Mostly sunny skies, light winds and hi temperatures near 70!
Yet with all this its winter weather awareness week. Today’s topic is: Today’s topic: Types of Heavy Snow Events that Impact the Region.
A rain storm to our south is responsible for the high level clouds over us this Monday morning. Northern sections of western New Jersey should already be seeing some blue skies. This trend will continue today as temperatures get into the mid 60’s – well above normal for this time of year (but who’s complaining!)
Mild will will continue with high near 70 starting Tuesday. Next chance of showers is Thursday.
Did everyone in western New Jersey remember to set their clocks BACK one hour this morning? And don’t forget about the smoke and CO detector batteries. The lives you save could be your own!
We made it to November but it won’t feel like it this week. Never the less its winter weather awareness week from the NWS. Look at the tips on preparing for winter storms above and do them now before the cold and snowy/icy weather is here!
Everything is on track for us to receive a good soaking today. It will not be raining all the time. The rain will come in waves, be heavy at times then nothing or only a drizzle.
There will also be gusty winds today in western New Jersey. The biggest threat will be the combination of rain + falling leaves = very slipper travel in sports. If you have ever walked on a bunch of wet leaves you know how slippery they can be. This is the first significant rain, with wind, and leaves we’ve had this fall so be on look out.
The storm could produce a band of heavy rain and wind in the middle of the night. There could also be some rumbles of thunder.
Warmer weather will continue today into tomorrow until a colder push of weather arrives later Thursday then cool into Saturday. Trick or treating continues to be fair but chilly on Saturday.
Get out an enjoy another nice weather day on Tuesday. Today should be similar to yesterday with the exception of some increasing clouds. The rain should hold off until after midnight tonight. Then we should see rain on an off for close to 24 hours starting early Wednesday morning lasting until the pre dawn hours on Thursday. Winds will be gusty as well on Wednesday. Good news is we need the rain and temperatures on Wednesday will be on the warm side.
If you do have any outdoor Halloween decorations you might want to secure them.
Western New Jersey will receive from 1-2″ of rain from this event. There’s even an outside chance there could be a rumble or two of thunder later in the day on Wednesday! Colder more seasonable air will arrive on Thursday and last into the weekend. At this time trick-or-treating looks dry and chilly.
