French Toast Watch Now In Effect

Good Tuesday afternoon. Western New Jersey is continuing with winter-like conditions for a change. Blustery and chilly this afternoon with high temperatures once again not going above freezing.

Wednesday will be a little warmer with high temperatures in the 30’s. Thursday could feature some morning flurries but will be another day with high temperatures in the seasonable 30’s

Then our attention turns to the weekend. As discussed yesterday a storm system approaching the west coast will make its way across the US reaching our area later Friday evening into the weekend. Computer models, a tool that meteorologist use to forecast the weather in the future, continue to indicate this storm will impact our area with significance.

So hence forth the french toast watch is not in effect. This could be upgraded to a warning in 1-2 days. So start thinking about gathering your comfort feeds, milk, bread and eggs. I’m sure based on the hype in the media for this storm, the supermarkets will start getting busy on Wednesday and will be full bore crazy on Thursday!

Cold Air Returns

18. January 2016 · Comments Off · Categories: snow, weather discussion, winter · Tags: arctic cold, late week snow

The light snow that fell yesterday afternoon certainly over performed in western New Jersey. Stewartsville received about 1/4.” additional reading from other areas are listed below.

Cold weather continues today and tomorrow. It will remain at or below normal most of the week. Then our attention turns to a storm potential for Friday into Saturday. Computer weather models have been consistent in showing this storm for Friday into Saturday. The overnight models continue to show this potential. right now the storm is north of Hawaii so it still has to travel a long way. If the storm reaches its potential in our area we could receive a heavy snow. There’s a chance it could move further away and we receive only a little or it could move closer to us and we go from snow to rain. I will continue to monitor the storm potential.

Here are additional snow reports from yesterday and overnight:

The following are unofficial observations taken during the past 7
hours for the weather system that has been affecting our region.
Appreciation is extended to cooperative observers, Skywarn spotters,
the general public and the media for these reports. This summary is

Cold Air Returns Then Watching Next Weekend

17. January 2016 · Comments Off · Categories: weather discussion, weather forecast, winter · Tags: arctic air., cold start to week

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

15. January 2016 · Comments Off · Categories: weather discussion, winter · Tags: colder next week, overnight wind and rain

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.

DANGEROUS SNOW SQUALLS WILL MOVE IN THIS EVENING

Coating of Snow Possible Today

12. January 2016 · Comments Off · Categories: snow, weather discussion, winter · Tags: coating, snow showers, tuesday

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.

NWS Snow fall expected

Rainy Sunday Followed By Cold

10. January 2016 · Comments Off · Categories: weather discussion, weather forecast, winter · Tags: Cold, Rain, sunday, windy

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.

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!

Warm with Rain then Arctic Cold #2

09. January 2016 · Comments Off · Categories: weather discussion, weather forecast, winter · Tags: cold returns next week, Rain, warm sunday

Rain will be moving into western New Jersey after midnight tonight and last to around mid-day Sunday. Winds will pick up and rain could be heavy at times. Winds will remain brisk on Sunday after the rain ends. Temperatures will start to drop and will reach the 30’s by Monday morning. Temperatures should stay in the 30’s during the day for all of next week.

Another arctic front will move through western New Jersey on Tuesday that will give us a period of light snow that may whiten the ground in some areas! More on that as it gets closer.

For now enjoy the near record warmth again on Sunday but keep the winter coats handy!

Winter Weather Advisory Tonight For Northern Areas

08. January 2016 · Comments Off · Categories: winter · Tags: winter weather advisory

There’s a chance that some of the rain may arrive while the temperature is near freezing in some northern locations of western New Jersey. As a result the National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory just in case. I expect this to be primarily in northern areas around and north of interstate 80.
