Radar showing another area of rain to move into western New Jersey

Just about 1″ of rain has fallen in Stewartsville so far today. As seen in the radar image above another area of rain is about to move into western New Jersey. This should be somewhat lighter than what we received before.

Look to the far left on that map and you see pink and blue representing mixed precipitation and snow. Yes that’s right while it’s in the low 60’s here, it’s snowing in the far NW part of PA.

NWS Ice Forecast for Saturday AM

Th cold air should arrive in western New Jersey very fast between 1 am and 5 am tomorrow morning. If it’s still raining we could see that change over to some sleet or freezing rain. As such the NWS has issued a winter weather advisory for Warren county and further N&W. The threat should be over by mid morning tomorrow then sharply colder temperatures over the weekend into next week.

Next change of some wintry weather will be on Tuesday and Wednesday. More on that as it approaches.

5 Day Forecast

5 Day Forecast

Western New Jersey will have another day with temperatures above normal with highs in the 40’s. Clouds will prevail be the rain should hold off until after midnight.

Friday will feature periods of rain that will last until early Saturday morning. We should receive 1-2″ of much needed rain. Then sharply colder air arrives on Saturday morning. There’s a slight chance some of the rain could end as a wintry mix. If this happens it will be in the morning. I’ll keep an eye on it and let you know if I see this happening.

Then back in the ice box for several days. Fear not it won’t be as long or severe as last time but it will make you remember that it’s still January

NWS 5 Day Forecast

NWS 5 Day Forecast

Yesterday was a much needed break in the cold with high temperatures approaching the mid 40’s in many locations. A high of 44 in Stewartsville. While running some errands around mid day I caught myself walking into a store with my coat not even zipped up!

Today will feature increasing clouds ahead of our next system. High temperatures should be close to normal with mid to upper 30’s expected. Tonight will not be as cold as this morning. Thursday will be a cloudy day with rain arriving later in the day. The rain should continue off and on into Saturday morning. The positive sides are we need the rain and Friday should be very warm with high temperatures approaching near 60 degrees! We should also get at least 1″ of rain over the 2 day stretch. Again this is much needed rain let’s just hope it doesn’t cause too much flooding from melting snow.

Don’t put away the winter clothes just yet. We will turn sharply colder Saturday afternoon and evening and that will continue into early next week. But the cold will not be as harsh as the last outbreak nor as windy but it will remind us it still is January.

Long range later next week looks to moderate a little back to normal. There may be a fast moving clipper system Tuesday/Wednesday of next week which could give us some light snow.

More Sleet and Freezing Rain Than Snow
