7 Day NWS forecast for western New Jersey

Hopefully, everyone is enjoying President’s Day and a shortened work/school week. Today will wind up being the pick of the week with mostly sunny skies and high temperatures in the upper 40’s with light winds.

Tuesday will feature clouds and periods of light rain. Right now it doesn’t look like too much rain which is a welcome relief for our area the way things have been going lately.

After the rain, we get another cold snap Thursday into Friday but it will not be as cold as the last one. Look for morning temperatures in the teen Friday morning and low 20’s Thursday and Saturday.

The cold air retreats as quickly as it has all winter and we look to have a pleasant upcoming weekend with high temperatures in the mid to upper 40’s.

Early March temperature outlook

Looking long-range some cold air may try and sneak back into the northeast the first week of March. The big questions now are where and how cold. Right now it looks to remain to the north of us and not be terribly cold. This may be Winter’s last gasp – we’ll see…

Winter Weather Advisory For Freezing Rain

A Winter Weather Advisory is up for most of western New Jersey for Wednesday night into early Thursday morning. This will primarily be at an elevation from 1000′ and above but there could also be some in the valley locations. This will eventually change over to all rain. The map above shows the potential amounts of freezing rain ending at 1 pm Thursday

Another Soggy Weekend

We’ll squeeze out one more semi-pleasant day today with high temperatures near 50. There will be increasing clouds but still a nice day by late January standards. Look for rain to arrive before sunrise tomorrow. Some areas to the far north could see a little freezing rain at the beginning of the rain. As a result, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for northern counties.

This shouldn’t be that bad and confined mostly to higher elevations and the Poconos. We’ll warm up tomorrow and all areas will change to rain.

Speaking of rain we’ll be getting a good dose of it tomorrow. Look for 1-1.5″ of rain for the entire western New Jersey area.

We should start to dry out later in the day on Saturday. On Sunday the winds will pick up as the storm departs but we could see some scattered rain or snow showers.

Looking at the week ahead our above normal temperature pattern continues with high temperatures near or just above 40. No important precipitation threats until, wait for it, the following weekend.

Saturday Snow Results

So how much did we get with the last snow system? Stewartsville recorded 1.9″ of snow before we changed to sleet then freezing rain. Slightly higher amounts in areas further to the north where the transition took longer to occur.

Warm Weekend Ahead

This afternoon with some sunshine and thankfully no more strong winds itself makes it feel much more comfortable outside

And the trend will continue. Friday will feature high temperatures in the upper 40’s to near 50. Saturday near 60! The downside is there will be more clouds than sun, but warmth is warmth. If it’s not going to snow, let us all be comfortable at least and enjoy some outdoor activities.

Signs continue to suggest the pattern change will start the last week of the month. As of right now nothing overly cold, just more seasonal for starters.
