Winter Weather Advisory For Freezing Rain

Updated Snow Forecast for Wednesday

19. February 2019 · Comments Off · Categories: snow, weather discussion · Tags: snow, winter weather advisory

Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect for Wednesday. The Winter Storm watch is no longer in effect.

Based on everything I’ve seen today, I’m lowering my snow forecast to 1-3″. There’s even a good chance we could see less than this.

Reasons for the update:

not as much cold air available
there is no real cold high pressure to the north of us. rather it will be to the east of us and that will help promote the warmup that will take place
the air before the storm is very dry. This will prevent any snow accumulation for the first several hours of the storm. At this time I don’t expect snow to start in our area until mid-day or slightly later
like so many storms of this winter, we will transition to sleet and freezing rain to rain. I expect us to start this transition wednesday evening

Saturday Morning Storm Update

19. January 2019 · Comments Off · Categories: snow, winter · Tags: less snow, sharply colder sunday monday, warmer storm, winter storm warning, winter weather advisory

The trend in the past 12 hours has been a warmer one for the upcoming storm. Overnight temperatures did not go as low as originally thought. Current temperatures are at freezing and should rise into the mid to upper 30’s today. Even though winds are calm now, they will start blowing out of the warmer east direction. Winds above us are forecast to blow out of the warm southerly direction. All of these factory should result in us receiving less snow and more rain. The good news is this should minimize any icing risks for our area.

Another trend for less snow is short range computer models are showing the approaching snow this afternoon arriving to our north and west initially missing most of our area. The front-end of the storm is where I expected most of our accumulating snow. If this stays to our north, we will receive even less snow.

Look for light snow to move into our area later this afternoon. It could be mixing with some rain or sleet pellets at the beginning but should changeover to all snow. Then expect snow to start mixing with and then change to sleet around 9 pm. Then rain will mix in and we should be changed over to all rain before midnight with rain continuing heavy at times overnight. This timeline will be delayed further to the north.

Based on what I’m seeing now I’m going to forecast 1-3″ for southern and central locations and 3-6″ further to the north where the changeover will take longer and the snow will start earlier.

Even with this warmer forecast, we will still have a sharply colder and windy day on Sunday. Any early morning rain may change back briefly to snow and then end. Winds will pick up and the temperature will start to sharply fall as the day progresses. Look for temperatures to be in the teen by evening.

A winter weather advisory is in effect for Hunterdon county and points east. Winter storm warning for Warren and above.

Light Wintry Mix To Rain

07. January 2019 · Comments Off · Categories: winter · Tags: light snow, winter weather advisory

Winter weather advisory in effect for this evening into Tuesday AM

Much colder day today compared to recent weather. The colder weather trend looks to continue this week after a roller coaster ride Tuesday into Wednesday.

A warm front is moving towards our area that will bring warmer weather Tuesday. The leading edge of this is causing some light snow in central PA. If this hold together it will be in western NJ from 3-6 pm this evening.

The air is VERY dry and a lot of this may dry up before reaching our area. It may be one of those situation that the radar looks worse that what actually falls from the sky

Look for some light snow/flurries this evening and then again late at night. Expect a coating to 1″. The greatest chances for 1″ is to the north. Then warmer air arrives overnight and should change over to a cold light rain by morning. Then the rain should let up for most of the day Tuesday until a cold front moves through in the evening. Expect another period of rain with the cold front.

Then back to typically January cold the rest of the week. All eyes will be on the potential of a coastal storm late Saturday into Sunday
