Next Two Snow Threats Go South

NWS snow forecast ending Feb. 11, 2021 7 pm

In our rapid succession of snow threats, we have two more that will visit our area. For the most part, these will remain to the south of our area. But we may still get some accumulating snow.

The first one will arrive late Wednesday night or very early Thursday morning. The second one will be almost 24 hours later.

Both of these will impact southern locations more than northern locations.

I’m expecting a coating to 2″ of snow with less to the north and more to the south.

Looking ahead, there’s another chance of wintry weather late Saturday night into SUnday morning. If this verifies, this will be the second Sunday morning in a row of wintry weather. Right now this looks relatively light but could feature some mixed precipitation.

Light Snow Tuesday

24. January 2021 · Comments Off on Light Snow Tuesday · Categories: snow, weather discussion · Tags: , ,

Details on the wintry weather for late Monday night and Tuesday are coming into focus. I’m expecting 1-3″ for western New Jersey. The lower end will be in southern areas and the upper end further to the north and west. Some sleet can mix in at times on Tuesday.

Timing: Look for light snow to arrive before sun-up on tuesday. the snow will be light and perhaps intermittent at times, especially in the afternoon.

Looking ahead to our next winter weather maker on Thursday, it may be another swing and a miss. This will truly be a storm that will intensify rapidly when it hits the Atlantic ocean. Unfortunately it appears to be south of us with the intensification happening when it gets east of our area. We may see some light snow showers depending on the exact track. Details as we get closer.

Blustery Weekend On The Way

22. January 2021 · Comments Off on Blustery Weekend On The Way · Categories: snow, winter · Tags: , ,

You’ll want to be like Bernie and bundle up this weekend, especially Saturday as temperatures will likely struggle to get to 30. Winds will keep the wind chill in the teens.

Confidence is increasing that our area will see some wintry weather late Monday into Tuesday.

At this time the precipitation type looks to be mainly snow for our area but I can’t yet rule out a changeover or mix with some sleet or freezing rain, especially in southern locations. As it looks now if that happens it will be minor.

Timing wise looks to be later Monday into Tuesday. There’s a good chance the wintry weather will be in two parts. There appears to be a lull in the snow perhaps mid-day Tuesday with perhaps another, lighter round of snow before the day ends.

How much? Still too early to say. I’m thinking this will NOT be as much as the December event. At this time I’m expecting 3-6″ range.

Winter Is Coming, Back

12. January 2020 · Comments Off on Winter Is Coming, Back · Categories: weather discussion · Tags: ,

I hope everyone got outside yesterday and enjoyed the crazy unseasonably warm weather yesterday. I took advantage and rode 20 miles on my bicycle.

When we get unusual weather in the summer or winter the first thought that comes to my mind is we’re going to pay for this somehow. Don’t worry, winter is not over, In fact, there are continued signs of the pattern change back to reality will take place late week into the weekend.

So enjoy it while it lasts. Today is still warm but windy. This time next week we will be back to seasonable temperatures with temperatures in the 30’s.

Wintry Weather Returns

NWS snow forecast for Monday morning

Much colder albeit seasonable temperatures have returned to western New Jersey this Saturday morning. temperatures are in the 20’s and there’s a stiff breeze. Winds will continue to be gusty today with gusts into the 30’s at times.

A weak system will move to our south late Sunday night into Monday morning. It should be cold enough for all snow. At this time it looks like western New Jersey should receive a coating to 2″ with higher amounts to the south.

Next storm system Monday night into Tuesday

Then our next system looks to approach our area late Monday night into Tuesday. This system will have more moisture to work with. It will be cold enough to start out as snow initially as we’ve seen with many storms this winter. We should receive several inches of snow before warmer air moves in and changes us over to a wintry mix and eventually rain. This storm system has the potential to give us 2-4″ or 3-5″ of snow before a changeover with higher amounts to the north. I’ll update this as we get closer to the event.

Sharply Colder End of Month and Beyond

Temperature outlook end of January into February

Regardless of what happens this weekend with the storm potential it does look to turn colder than normal before the end of the month. This looks to continue into February.

SO keep your cold weather gear and clothing handy 😉 It is January after all.

March Roller Coaster Weather Continues

07. March 2017 · Comments Off on March Roller Coaster Weather Continues · Categories: snow · Tags: ,

Spring and fall can feature variables in the weather. So far this month is showing signs of not disappointing. After a very cold weekend, we are starting to rebound to warmer weather today. We should get into the 50’s today and tomorrow. Remember the average high this time of year is about 46 and climbing.

With warmer weather brings rain as is evident this morning. Western New Jersey is receiving light rain this morning. Look for this to taper to showers this afternoon. This is the warm front passing through our area. A cold front will pass through later tonight and be accompanied by some additional rain and perhaps even a rumble of thunder.

And then what?

Well some unseasonable cold weather is heading to western New Jersey. Thursday will be a transition day with temperatures mostly in the 40’s as cold air filters into our area. A weak system will be approaching from the west that can give is some light precipitation Thursday night into Friday morning. At this time is looks like it could be cold enough for a wintry mix and snow (especially to the north).

This will clear our Friday afternoon and more cold air comes into our region. Saturday looks similar to last Saturday with temperatures struggling to get above the freezing mark. We all knew we were going to have pay back for all that unusual warmth last month!

And then what?

Another more potent storm system looks to be approaching our area from the south and west. As of right now it appears we will be on the colder side of the storm. The big question is how far north does it get. Will we be on the northern fringe or will we feel the full impacts? Traditionally this winter when computer models show a system impacting areas to our south in advance, tend to migrate to the north as the event nears. Let’s see if that happens with this one. As a result Sunday has the potential to be a wintry day. How wintry? It could be enough to remind us it’s still winter. If everything comes together it could be a plow-able event. Keep in mind it can snow in March. Ironically this Sunday, March 13 is the anniversary of a famous super storm that impacted the east coast in 1993. No this will not be that but it could be notable. For snow to happen in late winter you need to have close to perfect conditions.

Beyond that the cold air looks to stay around into the new week with another storm potential around mid week.

Warning: seasonable weather ahead!

7 day weather forecast for western new jersey

colder weather ahead

Today should be the last of the nice and warm days for a while for western New Jersey. Even thought it felt closer to the season as you head out the door today, high temperatures will still be above normal in the low 50’s.

Another rain maker is on the way for Thursday. this system looks to bring more rain than the last. We should see around 1/3″ to 1/2″ of rain.

After the rain it turns colder. But nothing crazy for the second half of December. But it will feel very cold since we’re all used to the above normal temperatures! But don’t worry too much – the long rang outlook for next week has us back in the 50’s and possibly approaching 60 again. Hopefully Santa knows how to land without snow 😎

Icy Monday Morning

12. January 2015 · Comments Off on Icy Monday Morning · Categories: weather discussion · Tags: , , ,

Monday morning started off icy as mentioned yesterday.

Icy start to Monday morning

What I found very interesting with this mornings ice is there was none on the trees – only the ground and roads. that tells me the air temperature was slightly above freezing but the ground was very cold from the preceding weather.

So far we picked up .41” of rain as of 5pm. Another light band of rain is moving through presently. There is some additional light rain and snow in central and western PA associated with the cold front that will move through later tonight. So we may see a little bit of frozen precipitation before it is all said and done.

Colder weather returns for Tuesday and Wednesday. Then a gradual moderation later in the week into the weekend.

The Return Of Winter

We all knew winter was here and would return. This week it will happen. After a wintry start to November, winter took some time off for December but is now back. After receiving about 1” rain over the weekend, colder air (and wind!) is on the increase. We will see temperatures in the mid 30’s today with some scattered snow showers mostly to the north and west.

On Tuesday a clipper, or fast moving storm system with limited moisture will be snapping through the area. Look for a light and powdery snow to begin around 8-10 am and taper off before dinner time. We will receive 1-2” with a few isolated amounts higher again mostly to the north and west. Here is a graphic from the NWS on expected snow amounts for western jersey area:

10923620_745391282175866_1786734606872077822_n

The clipper will bring behind it true artic air. We will have some mornings with single digit lows and some days 9Thursday) may not get above 20!
