Another Snow To Rain on Thursday

28. December 2016 · Comments Off on Another Snow To Rain on Thursday · Categories: snow, weather discussion, weather forecast, winter · Tags: , , ,

As has been the pattern with storms so far this cold season, we will get another snow to rain event on Thursday. Look for light snow to overspread western New Jersey around rush hour time – certainly by mid morning. Then, as has been the case this year, the snow will start mixing with and then change to rain. The difference this time I don’t expect much in the way of sleet or freezing rain. There is not a lot of colder air near the surface.

As far as accumulation I expect a coating to 1″ for most areas of southern Warren and Hunterdon counties with a little bit more further to the north as well as in the Poconos.

This will turn into a very big storm – for northeastern New England. Some areas will receive over a foot of snow from this storm!

Much colder air will usher in as the storm passes. Friday will be quite windy and there could be some snow squalls.

The next event to keep an eye on in New Years Eve into New Years Day. More on that as we get closer.

 

First Thoughts on Thursday Snow Potential

27. December 2016 · Comments Off on First Thoughts on Thursday Snow Potential · Categories: snow, winter · Tags: ,

My initial thoughts a few days ago for late Wednesday into Thursday was another wet snow to rain event for western New Jersey. The interesting part this time is the computer models have been trending slightly colder with each new run. If this continues we could see a minor wet snow accumulation.

The above map is from the NWS and shows the most likely snowfall for our area for Thursday. At this point I’m in agreement with this as it shows 1-2″ in most locations of western New Jersey. There is the potential for a few more inches, especially up north.

Today’s rain showers should be over my mid day and some sunshine should return. It will be a very mild day by late December standards. It will turn colder tomorrow but nothing too severe.

After the late Wednesday night/Thursday event there is another possibility of mixed precipitation unfortunately on New Year’s Eve. More on that as we get closer.

Freezing Rain Advisory Until 11am

26. December 2016 · Comments Off on Freezing Rain Advisory Until 11am · Categories: winter · Tags: , ,

The National Weather Service has issued a freezing rain advisory for this morning until 11 am for Warren county and further to the north. Hunterdon is not in the advisory area.

We are right around freezing and some very light rain is moving east from central PA this morning. This is response to some warmer weather that will arrive overnight into Tuesday. I do not expect this to be a big issue. If you are out and about when the rain starts, just be careful if the temperature is not yet above freezing. Then we turn more seasonable the rest of the week.

The first snow of December is in the books. This is our second snowfall of the fall. 1/2″ was recorded in Stewartsville, NJ. I’ve seen reports of as much as 1.5″ in High Point NJ.

Take a picture if you like snow on the ground becasue it won’t last long. Rain returns later Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Then colder air arrives later in the week.

December 2015 is in the books. It was a warm month to say the least. Never seen the grass so green into the end of the month! Bulbs starting to peek through the mulch! But January looks to get back on track.

Unsettled Week Ahead

30. November 2015 · Comments Off on Unsettled Week Ahead · Categories: Fall, weather discussion, weather forecast · Tags: , , ,

Today western New Jersey will see a gradual increase and thickening of clouds across the area. Temperatures will be cool but seasonable. Tonight if some of the rain comes in fast enough, some section further to the north and the west might actually be cold enough for some freezing rain or sleet at the onset of the storm. Please be mindful of this. I will try and post updates if it looks to be more widespread. Right now it looks like the exception instead of the rule – only in those areas to the N & W that usually get colder than surrounding areas.

Rain will continue off and on Tuesday into Wednesday. Right now we looking at 1/2 to perhaps 1″ of rain for the area. I’ll update this if needed.

After a few days off, we return to more seasonable weather. Highs will be in the30’s to near 40. New Year’s Eve will be colder with lows in the 20’s for any revelers. The next chance of precipitation will be Friday night into Saturday morning. If the precipitation arrives earlier enough it could be frozen but has the potential to go over to plain rain.

Weather today and tomorrow will be ideal for Christmas shopping, parties and all the normal running around that goes with this time of year. Today will start off cloudy but should have more breaks of sun as the day wears on. Highs will be in the 30’s.

Tonight will be another chilly December evening with partly cloudy skies.

Sunday will feature more sunshine with high’s perhaps in the low 40’s.

So it’s a nice weekend to start/finish shopping, decorate outdoors and enjoy the season!
