End of Year Weather

29. December 2019 · Comments Off on End of Year Weather · Categories: weather discussion, winter · Tags:

A winter weather advisory is posted for far northern sections including Sussex County and the Poconos for some freezing rain.

This should be limited to areas far to the north as seen in the map above

Any early morning glimpses of brightness are gone and cloudy conditions will remain for the rest of today. An early look at radar shows our rain shield approaching the western New Jersey area. I was hoping the rain would hold off until mid-afternoon but I would not be surprised to see it arriving a little sooner, unfortunately.

As seen in the map above the entire area should receive 3/4″ to 1.5″ of rain from later today through Monday. In fact, some showers could remain into Tuesday.

The rest of New Year’s Eve and New Year’s day looks OK but there will be a breeze but nothing too crazy.

As far as January is concerned we look to be entering a more progressive pattern. Temperatures look to remain above normal into the first part of January

Soggy Start to Labor Day

Happy Labor Day! Hopefully you were able to get outside yesterday or Saturday and enjoy some of the beautiful weather.

This morning and nice area of rain is moving into western New Jersey. It won’t last all day. This area will be done in a couple of hours. The rest of the day will have showers or perhaps even a thundershower.

Don’t be surprised if you hear a rumble of thunder today. There is a marginal risk of severe storms. I don’t expect any of those but there could be a little thunder this morning and perhaps later on today.

Major hurricane Dorian has slowed down to a crawl over the Bahamas. The forecast continues to show a move up the FL coast starting tomorrow. While the hurricane will hopefully stay offshore, intense coastal flooding along with heavy rain and winds will be felt along the eastern seaboard up to NC this week.

Another Coating Chance Tonight

Coating of snow overnight in Stewartsville February 28, 2019

A coating of snow fell overnight in Stewartsville and other surrounding areas in western New Jersey overnight and very early Thursday morning. Today should feature plenty of sunshine. It will be warmer than yesterday but still below normal with high temperatures only in the mid to upper 30’s.

NWS snow forecast for Friday morning

Overnight tonight and tomorrow morning will be almost an exact repeat as this morning. The only difference is today’s system was to our north. Tomorrow’s system will be to our south. So more snow will potentially accumulate to the south and little if any to the north. My forecast is for another coating to 1″.

Active weekend in store

Friday looks to remain mostly cloudy. Then another system will impact us Saturday. This looks to be mainly rain but it will start off of some snow in the morning. Then another break then we turn our attention to a potentially stronger storm Sunday night into Monday morning. This storm will have more moisture to work with. The big question will be precipitation type. Rain, snow, sleet or all of the above. At this point I’m thinking all of the above. If this storm stays on the colder side of us it could give us several inches of snow.

Snow Scheduled To Arrive Around Midday

radar as of 10:30 Wednesday morning

Everything is still on track with the snow for today. As we mentioned, we are seeing snow showing up on the radar yet it’s not reaching the ground yet. This will continue to be the case today until the snow wins out over the very dry air. Right now my dew point in Stewartsville is 13f with my air temperature of 27f. That’s really dry.

But the snow will win out and mess up everyone’s afternoon commute if you unfortunately had to go to school or work today.

We then need to keep an eye on how fast sleet starts to mix in with the snow and eventually change over to plain rain. I would not be surprised to see sleet start in southern sections by early evening if not before.

I’m sticking with my 1-3″ forecast although right now it looks like we’ll be at the higher end of that range.

Punxsutawney Phil Says Early Spring

In a rare occurrence, the famous weather prognosticator groundhog Phil did not see his shadow this morning. Legend has it this means an early spring for our part of the country.

Don’t get too excited yet – his track record is not stellar. Of course we shouldn’t be too surprised about this. After all he’s a groundhog.

After the recent frigid weather in the east today’s news will certainly be welcome for all the still frozen from the cold weather.

Coating of snow overnight in Stewartsville, NJ

While driving home last night seeing the moon out and partly cloudy skies I knew it was going to be hard for the snow to our south to make its way this far north.

But it eventually made its way up north to some locations with a light coating of snow

The week ahead will start off cold but return to seasonable levels of temperature and precipitation

7 Day NWS forecast

There is a slight chance of snow or rain showers Thursday night into Friday morning.

Then all attention turns to the potential for a more important start next weekend. The weather models are starting to show this potential but it is still a week away and much can change between now and then. I will keep an eye on it.
