Event extended (time). Winter Weather Advisory from 1/25/2020 12:00 AM to 10:00 AM EST for Northampton County, PA, Warren County, NJ. More information.
We’ll squeeze out one more semi-pleasant day today with high temperatures near 50. There will be increasing clouds but still a nice day by late January standards. Look for rain to arrive before sunrise tomorrow. Some areas to the far north could see a little freezing rain at the beginning of the rain. As a result, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for northern counties.
This shouldn’t be that bad and confined mostly to higher elevations and the Poconos. We’ll warm up tomorrow and all areas will change to rain.
Speaking of rain we’ll be getting a good dose of it tomorrow. Look for 1-1.5″ of rain for the entire western New Jersey area.
We should start to dry out later in the day on Saturday. On Sunday the winds will pick up as the storm departs but we could see some scattered rain or snow showers.
Looking at the week ahead our above normal temperature pattern continues with high temperatures near or just above 40. No important precipitation threats until, wait for it, the following weekend.

Another chilly night in western New Jersey area. Despite plenty of sunshine, today’s temperatures will only be a couple of degrees higher than Monday. Winds will continue on the light side which will help a little.
When we’ve had cold weather outbreaks, Florida so far this winter has been missing most of the action. Well, not this time. So hopefully you nor anyone you know is vacationing down there this week. the OJ will be extra chilly the next couple of mornings!
Temperatures will warm up to the 40’s on Thursday and Friday. Out next weather maker will be Saturday. As it looks now it will be more wet than white.
So how much did we get with the last snow system? Stewartsville recorded 1.9″ of snow before we changed to sleet then freezing rain. Slightly higher amounts in areas further to the north where the transition took longer to occur.
After early morning lows in the upper teens and low 20’s, we should see plenty of sunshine today. Despite the sun, we will struggle to get near the freezing mark today and tomorrow. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings will be chilly with lows in the teens.
The second half of the week will feature warming temperatures with highs in the 40’s.
Our next storm system will arrive just in time for the upcoming weekend. With the late week warmth, you would think it will be more wet than white. That’s my initial thought as well but overnight computer models are suggesting this needs to be watched. We could once again be near a critical rain/snow line. The next system will be different from the past one in that a coastal storm looks to form and provide us with much more precipitation. Something to keep an eye on as the week progresses.

The NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Saturday for the entire western New Jersey area.
Here are the details of the advisory:
Sussex-Warren-Morris-Hunterdon-Berks-Lehigh-Northampton- Western Montgomery-Upper Bucks- Including the cities of Newton, Washington, Morristown, Flemington, Reading, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Collegeville, Pottstown, Chalfont, and Perkasie 337 AM EST Fri Jan 17 2020 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM SATURDAY TO 1 AM EST SUNDAY... * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches. * WHERE...Berks County, the Lehigh Valley, and adjacent portions of northern and northwest New Jersey. * WHEN...From 10 AM Saturday to 1 AM EST Sunday. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow is expected to develop from late morning into the afternoon on Saturday. The heaviest snow will likely occur from mid to late afternoon. Snow may mix with sleet or rain by early Saturday evening before tapering off overnight. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Slow down and use caution while traveling.
The NWS snow forecast graphic above has scaled back a little the higher snow amounts due to 1) warmer air arriving to mix the snow with sleet and rain and 2) limited amount of time snow will be falling
My forecast is 2-4″ for the I-78 corridor with amounts closer to the low end. Higher amounts will be further to the north and west where the mix/changeover will take longer.
