First and foremost Merry Christmas for all who celebrate! The weather in western New Jersey is certainly not very Christmas like with fog this morning and afternoon high temperatures to be in the mid 60’s!

7day

But we all knew the warm weather would have to come to an end sooner or later. Remember normal high temperatures for this time of year are in the upper 30’s!!

There will be some showers on and off from tonight into Sunday night. Monday morning looks rain free but then a storm system will be approaching our area Monday night into Tuesday. Enough cold air will start flowing into the area on Monday to give us high temperatures near normal. Monday night will feature a cold rain that will mix with sleet, especially in colder areas to the north and west and possibly mix with if not change to snow for a while. This all continues into Tuesday morning but warmer air will be arriving and should change us over to rain but mid day if not sooner. I don’t expect much if any in the way of accumulation at this point since the ground is still soo warm.

I’ll post updates on this as we approach. I just wanted to give a heads up wince there is a lot of family travel this time of year.

I expect western New Jersey to receive anywhere from 1/2″ to 1″ of rain.

Then just in time for Christmas Eve, warm temperatures!

If I don’t get a chance to post again until after Christmas I want to wish all readers a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Thank you for reading my thought on weather for our area.

If you ever wondered what Christmas would be like in Florida, you may get your wish this year. Residents of western New Jersey will experience record breaking temperatures this Christmas eve and high’s could approach the low 70’s! So get out the shorts and fire up the grill for Christmas! Let’s just hope we’re not shoveling snow on Memorial Day to make up for all the unusually mild weather…

Even though it doesn’t feel like it in western New Jersey (or the entire east coast for that matter), today marks the beginning of winter. The weather this week will be anything but winter-like. Record high temperatures appear to be in the forecast for Christmas Eve. From this point on we will (slowly at first) start having more sunlight.

7day

We will see more clouds this week and rain Tuesday morning. Rain chances should decrease as Christmas Eve approaches.

7 day weather forecast for western new jersey

colder weather ahead

Today should be the last of the nice and warm days for a while for western New Jersey. Even thought it felt closer to the season as you head out the door today, high temperatures will still be above normal in the low 50’s.

Another rain maker is on the way for Thursday. this system looks to bring more rain than the last. We should see around 1/3″ to 1/2″ of rain.

After the rain it turns colder. But nothing crazy for the second half of December. But it will feel very cold since we’re all used to the above normal temperatures! But don’t worry too much – the long rang outlook for next week has us back in the 50’s and possibly approaching 60 again. Hopefully Santa knows how to land without snow 😎

Icy fog will greet you this Sunday morning in western New Jersey. Fog forms on clear calm night. Plus temperatures are in the mid 20’s so the fog will freeze on some surfaces so be careful early this morning until it warms up!

This afternoon will turn into a nice day with sunny skies and temps in the mid 50’s

Some snow flurries are moving through mostly northern sections of western New Jersey this chilly Tuesday morning. These should pass through in the next 2 hours or so.

7day

After that we should see a gradual clearing of the skies. Another cold night tonight then we start a warm up that will delight black Friday shoppers! Next chance of rain is Saturday morning.

If I don’t have a chance to post this before Thursday I’d like to wish all blog readers a wonderful Thanksgiving!

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!

NWS Snowfall Forecast

NWS Snowfall Forecast

Western New Jersey did have a nice afternoon yesterday even thought it was quite windy. Stewartsville recorded a gust to 38 MPH. All locations dipped into the mid 20’s this morning and today we will struggle and most likely stay in the upper 30’s to near 40. Tonight will be another chilly night but the winds should let up. Thursday will be a nice sunny day for the last full day of Winter but we will remain below normal temperature wise with highs only in the low 40’s.

Then our next weather maker approaches on Friday. Any wet snow that does fall in the early morning or at night has the potential to accumulate on colder untreated surfaces. However any snow that falls during the day will most likely melt unless in the shade or the intensity is very heavy. The NWS on the above map is forecasting 2-4″ for western New Jersey at this time. I’m going to go lower for now with 1-3″. Most of this will be on colder surfaces. If this were 1-2 months ago this would be another 3-6″ snowfall for us.

7day

The Saturday bounces back nicely with partly sunny skies and temperatures near 50.

Surface

Now that the cold front has passed through Western New Jersey, temperatures will start to tumble this afternoon as the winds increase. So far I recorded a high wind gust of 33. I’m sure there are higher readings in open elevated areas.

7day

Tonight and tomorrow will make us remember that the season is still Winter. We will have overnight lows in the mid 20’s with breezy conditions. Tomorrow will continue on that same note with highs in the mid perhaps upper 30’s. This is over 10 degrees below normal. Another cold night Wednesday night but the winds should let up by Thursday morning. Thursday will feature sunny skies and a little warmer in the mid 40’s.

Then our attention turns to Friday. A storm will approach the east coast south of us. The worse of the storm looks to stay to our south but its looking more and more like this storm will impact us. We may be cold enough for snow in the beginning of the storm on Friday. But now that it’s mid March and the snow will be falling during the day, I do not anticipate any accumulations at this time. Later in the day it may warm up enough to change to rain.

As it looks now we should remain below normal temperature wise through the end of the month so even though Spring is near, it’s not here yet temperature wise…
