Extremes in the forecast for this weekend

NWS 5 day forecast

Western New Jersey finally felt some above normal temperatures late yesterday afternoon with high temperatures in the upper 60’s. Today we will take it a step further with June like warmth with highs in the upper 70’s to near 80! Look for this to continue into Saturday as well.

Make sure you take advantage of the nice weather today or tomorrow becasue Sunday will be shockingly different. A “back door” cold front will come through Saturday evening/night and drop the high temperature on Sunday to the low 50’s! This will be accompanied by some showers that could arrive as early as Saturday late evening.

Then a good round of rain looks possible later Sunday into Monday morning. Cool weather peaks on Tuesday with high temperatures in the upper 40’s – there could even be some scattered wet snow flakes in some spots.

We slowly return to what should be normal for this time of year with high temperatures around 60 the second half of next week.

Spring like weather finally looks to arrive by weeks-end

NWS 5 day forecast

Even though it won’t feel like it today or tomorrow the spring “light at the end of the tunnel” is finally a glow. Monday will feature increasing clouds as our next system approaches. We will only have high temperatures today in the mid to perhaps upper 40’s. Light rain showers could move in this evening. Overnight these may changeover to light snow which could leave a coating on colder surfaces by tomorrow morning. Tuesday we may see the showers turn to rain but should be over by midday.

Wednesday will start our slow warming trend with near normal temperatures. Slight chance of showers on Thursday but we finally get above normal with highs in the 60’s. This looks to continue into the weekend with perhaps a cool down by Sunday with some showers or perhaps our first spring thundershower.

Still not feeling like spring!

NWS 5 day forecast

Everyone in western New Jersey woke up to some light snow falling. It’s only accumulating on colder surfaces and thankfully not the roads. This is a sight folks in western New Jersey have become too familiar with this Spring!

Ironically today will be one of the warmer days for a while. Today’s light snow is a result of a warm front moving through the area. Later this afternoon we should have high temperatures in the upper 50’s.

But don’t get too used to it. A cold front will come thru early Saturday morning which will bring cooler air for the weekend. Believe it or not this is a good thing. This push of colder air is going to steer another snow storm to our south. Only southern New Jersey and point south should see any significant accumulations from this next system. We could all see some light snow or rain showers, primarily in the morning. Remainder of the weekend will be on the cool side.

More cold air for Monday and Tuesday along with our next, dare I say last chance of snow or mixed precipitation for Tuesday. Then after that the pattern finally looks to relax and allow some warmer and more seasonable weather to arrive in our area by late week or next weekend!

NWS snow forecast for April 2, 2018

This ain’t no April Fools joke unfortunately. Thankfully many school and closed for Spring Break tomorrow so the morning commute should be light.

Since a lot of this will be falling at night, it should stick on colder surfaces like grass and car roof tops, etc.

NWS snow forecast for early Monday morning

First off Happy Passover and Easter to all those that observe!

Will this be the year without a Spring? April is starting off where March left off. While today is a rather nice but still cool spring day, things will get cooler next week. A quick moving disturbance is set to visit western New Jersey in the late night and then early morning hours on Monday morning. I’m in agreement with the above map at this time for colder surfaces. Good news is most of this will be gone by afternoon and most of the kids are on Spring break so no school delays/closings.

Then more cool damp weather into next week. Yes Spring will arrive. Let’s just hope it arrives for more than a few days and we don’t go straight into Summer!

5 Day weather forecast

After a chilly start Monday’s weather is recovering nicely with abundant sunshine and light winds. Today’s temperature will be in the upper 40’s. Tonight and Tomorrow will be similar to today but perhaps a degree or two cooler. Also look for increasing clouds tomorrow afternoon.

The we turn even milder for the remainder of the week. But with warmth brings showers. Good Friday looks to be the wettest day as of right now.

Looking longer range cooler temperatures look to continue into the first week of April. At least it only looks a little chilly.

5 day weather forecast

The March sun is very powerful and a lot of snow was melted yesterday! Look for that to continue but we may not have quite as much sun. IN fact there could be a shower or a snow shower at times this afternoon.

Tonight will be another chilly evening and Saturday should be a mostly sunny but cool day. Saturday night we may see another passing snow shower. Palm Sunday the sun returns but we remain on the cool side

Looking into next week we should start seeing 50 or better for high temperatures starting on Tuesday!

Spring Snow Storm Recap

10.4″ snow recorded in Stewartsville

Another over producing storm. Snow lasted longer into the night than anticipated. Thankfully the winds stayed light (so far). Everything once again looks like a winter wonderland. But its Spring. I hear the term used that its really “Sprinter” and I think that fits well.

How much snow?

Besides Stewartsville let’s look around the area:

Look Ahead

5 Day NWS forecast

Thankfully no Nor’Easter #5 is in the 7 day forecast. But then again Spring warmth isn’t in the forecast either. There might be some rain or snow showers on Friday and Saturday night. Other than that continued cool but at least sunny at times and above freezing so the snow can start to melt.

Looking longer term some low 50’s look in the forecast for portions of next week. But for the true arrival of Spring we may have to wait until next month.

Storm Starting To Wind Down

Radar loop Wednesday evening 7:15 pm

Today’s storm is slowly starting to wind down. Expect to receive a additional coating to 1 or 2″ between now and end of storm. Snow should end completely by late evening if not before. Don’t be surprised if it ends as some sleet or light rain. The temperature might warm up a little as the precipitation gets lighter

Wednesday Afternoon Update on Spring Snowstorm

6.2″ in Stewartsville as of 3 pm

Everything is on track for snow in most areas in western New Jersey. There has not been as much snow in far northern locations

NWS Snow Forecast

The updated NWS snow forecast above is more in line with my thinking.
