Weekend Weather Briefing

25. July 2020 · Comments Off on Weekend Weather Briefing · Categories: Summer, weather discussion · Tags: ,

The early morning fog has lifted but the humidity remains. Look for warmer temperatures today with high temperatures near 90.

As is the case when we have warm temperatures and plenty of humidity, there is a chance of spotty afternoon showers and thundershowers. The severe risk should be minimal.

The Saturday morning satellite shows a mix of clouds and sun. Let’s root for the clouds if you dislike hot temperatures as they will help keep down the temperature a little bit

In looking at Sunday and beyond, we turn up the heat and humidity through Monday. Tuesday and Tuesday evening will be our next chance of widespread showers and thundershowers with our next cold front. That will hopefully cross out area on/before Wednesday and pave the way for more comfortable humidity and near seasonable high temperatures for the rest of the week. Fingers crossed!

Another Soggy Day

Radar this morning shows some scattered mostly light showers in the area.

The above graphic shows 24 hr rain totals as of 7 am. Stewartsville recorded just over 1/2″ of new rain. Eastern sections of central Jersey received a lot of rain overnight.

We have a nearly stationary front over our area today. This front will move very little in the next 12 hours and will basically dissipate.

We will only have marginal chances of any severe weather today. Thankfully our high temperatures today will remain in the 80’s

Saturday will return us to the low 90’s and probably be the first of another heat wave. Dew points on Saturday will be lower than the past few days so it will feel better tomorrow. Higher dew points return on Sunday and Monday so enjoy it while it lasts!

Summertime Weather Pattern Continues

Cooler Weather on the Way

SPC show a marginal chance of strong storms later today

Before the cooler more seasonable weather gets here we have one more day of hot humid weather. The Heat Advisory continues today along with the chance of some thundershowers later this afternoon and evening.

With the arrival of the cooler temperatures there could be some showers from time to time.

We continue to watch the tropics. Warm and humid weather does look to make a return middle of next week but not as bad as what we are experiencing now.

Wonderful Weekend Weather

NWS 5 day forecast

The heatwave is over and the reward is at hand. We will not only have a wonder weekend of weather but by July standards, it might even be a touch cool!

Low temperatures Saturday morning

Lows this morning were in the mid 50’s with some areas in the low 50’s! Hard to come by in July!

Today we have wonderful sunshine with a high near 80. That means most of the day temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70’s with low low humidity.

Sunday is a repeat of today just a little warmer with highs in the low to mid 80’s.

Looking ahead some heat and humidity returns by Tuesday of next week but it should not be as intense as the last heat wave nor last as long. More typical summer time heat with highs near 90.

Enjoy!

One More Day

5 Day NWS Forecast

No this is not a reprise of Les Miserable – just one more day of the very hot and humid weather for western New Jersey. We then cool off about 10 degrees with a very comfortable weekend ahead with lower humidity.

Before we get there we may have some much needed rain from thundershowers on Friday. Details as we get closer.

Triple H’s Continue…

Hazy, Hot and Humid weather of Summer 2017 continues. Remember these days in the dead cold of winter 😉

Marginal risk of severe weather in western New Jersey on Thursday

Marginal risk of severe weather in western New Jersey on Thursday

As can be seen in the map above by the Storm Prediction Center, the best chances of severe weather will be to our north and west. As far as timing the best chances are this evening into the night. Some could linger into Friday morning.

The official definition of a heat wave in our park of the country is three consecutive days of high temperatures of 90 or above. We haven’t hit that yet in Stewartsville but we’ve been oh so close:

15th: 85
16th: 86
17th: 89
18th: 89
19th: 92
20th: 87+

Today, the 20th still isn’t over and I expect us to hit 90 or above so we will be 2/3rds of the way there. If we were to slightly modify the definition to be 89 or above we would already be there. Change it a few more degrees to 85+ and it’s a slam dunk.

Rainfall Totals From Friday

So how much did it rain yesterday in western New Jersey? Let’s just say that small white piece of plastic in the picture above, was at the top right of my driveway yesterday before the rain (and I obviously didn’t pick it up and left it there 😉 The picture make my driveway appear more angled than it really is. While I realize plastic floats, there must have been a pretty good river of water going down the driveway.

So to answer the mystery Stewartsville received 1.53″ yesterday alone. Almost 1″ of that came yesterday late afternoon in a monsoon like shower moved through the area.

The cold front has pushed through the area and today and tomorrow will be less humid with high temperatures in the low 80’s. Overnight lows tonight and Sunday morning will be in the upper 50’s. Look for an increase in humidity on Sunday as the next cold front passes through the area on Monday. This should be a fast moving one with not too much moisture as it looks now.

Extreme western areas of New Jersey (as seen in the above map) picked up about 1″ of rain late yesterday afternoon as slow moving line of showers and some thundershowers moved south to north over the area. Stewartsville recorded 0.81″ in two separate rain incidents. This was the first significant rainfall for Stewartsville in a week. If you traveled a little more to the east, some places received nothing. My one daughter was in Clinton at the time and said the sun was shining.

But much further to the east and north, some sections of NE New Jersey received several inches of rain as seen in the purple shading.

A slow moving cold front will be approaching the area today but probably not clear the area entirely until sometime Friday. We could receive showers nearly anytime today but the best chances will be after 3 pm today. Hopefully the heaviest rain will fall later on or over night.

First Official Heatwave

Heatwave

Western New Jersey had it’s first (and hopefully last) official heat wave this summer. What’s that you ask? “Dave it’s been plenty hot this summer!” Yes it has but to have an official heatwave you need three (3) days or more of high temperatures at 90 or above. We had that pleasure Saturday thru yesterday. I don’t think (hope) we get there today so the streak will be over. Even if it’s not as hot the humidity will make up for it in the next few days

While a scattered afternoon or evening thunderstorm is possible today in some spots, more frequent thundershowers are possible starting Thursday afternoon into Friday as a cold front approaches. The above map show the potential rain for our area through Saturday morning. We do need the rain – most areas have not received substantial rain in 7 days or more.

When the above cold front approaches our area it may not pass through right away and instead stall of the area. This will keep the humidity and chances for rain into at least Friday.
