Early Season Snowstorm Pulls Away

7.7″ of snow in Stewartsville NJ

To say yesterday’s snowstorm was an over-producer is an understatement. When you melt all the snow and sleet and freezing rain it totaled 1.67″ in Stewartsville. As you may recall in an earlier post only 1-1.25″ was forecast. So if this was all snow, we would have been clobbered even more.

The cold air hung on much longer than anticipated. And the snowfall rates were 2″ per hour for a time yesterday afternoon! We don’t see snowfall rates that impressives until the middle of winter!

The roads are a mess and many schools are closed. Today’s high temperature is already above freezing and should get into the low 40’s. Hopefully some good melting will take place but remember the ground is already saturated from all the recent rains. We should see sunshine today but the winds will pick up as the storm pulls away.

Good news is the weather look quiet into Thanksgiving week but it will remain on the cool side.

Thursday Wintry Update

NWS snow forecast for Thursday

Many computer models and other sources of information used to make weather forecasts have trended colder for tomorrow’s storm. The high pressure system to the north that will develop today will be stronger than originally thought. As a result today we will not see temperatures go up that much from where there are now despite sunshine. Tonight will be the coldest night of the new cold season.

As a result I’m increasing my snow forecast for tomorrow to a coating to 2″ with more to the north. The snow will still mix with and change to sleet/freezing rain and then rain my Thursday evening. The devil is in the details as they say as to when this happens. Most of the time for for I-78 corridor this happens sooner than anticipated. I’m counting on that to happen again this time hence why my snow totals are lower than the NWS map above. But of course the potential is there to receive more.

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.
