Folks sorry for the late post. As I mentioned in my last post I was away for the past several days on business. I’ve been up since 7am and drove from Cincinnati, OH most of the day in rain and snow and just got home before.

After looking at some data BRIEFLY, my forecast at this point for western new jersey is for less snow that you’ve probably been hearing: 6-12” of snow. This is even less that the NWS map above. What less? My gut is telling me this will be a bog storm but the heaviest precipitation will be to our east. Eastern NJ, NYC and Long Island and north east will get 1-2 FEET of snow from this easy.

I will take a look at more data in the morning and of course have an update.

I also want to point out this storm will have two phases. Overnight lighter snow will move in and give us a coating to an inch or two. It will snow on Monday light for most of the day on and off. Then as the coastal storm strengthens, the snow will increase in intensity and the winds will pick up later in the day. The worse of the storm will be Monday night into Tuesday morning.

More of the same will be in order for western jersey weather today. Clouds will win over sunshine but there will be periods of sun today. Temperatures will be similar to yesterday and be in the upper 30’s. Winds will thankfully be a little less but will be breezy at times.

Saturday will start off cloudy and precipitation could move in as early as mid morning to mid day. The computer models are again bringing in the precipitation faster. It looks to start off a little on the wintry side. I don’t think there will be too much freezing rain but there could be some wet snow or sleet in the beginning. There might even be a coating in the normally colder section north and west.

but make no mistake this will not be a wintry storm. Warmer air will win out and moderate rain will fall Saturday afternoon and night. We look to received 1/2 – 1” of rain ending as showers on Sunday. Highs Sunday will be in the mid to upper 50’s! Enjoy it as much colder weather looks to arrive on Monday. In fact we may not get above freezing for a good part of this upcoming week!
