After another frigid morning a slow warm up will begin today. It will be slow at first but anything is better than the 20 degree below normal temperatures we have experienced this week. High temperatures today and tomorrow should get into the mid 30’s. Friday morning will be another cold morning but relief is on the way.
As is often the case, when warmer air arrives the cold air is slow to depart at times. A weak system will be passing to our south on Friday late afternoon/evening. This could give our area some very light snow or snow showers. Right now it looks like a coating to perhaps 1″ in spots. This should be mostly on colder non-paved surfaces.
After that warmer on Saturday with a high near 40. CLouds will be on the increase Saturday late afternoon as some rain moves into the area Sunday morning. In some areas to the far north and west this could start as a little mixed precipitation but this should be mainly a rain event. Sunday’s high temperatures will be in the upper 40’s.
Next week looks to feature high temperatures in the 40’s with perhaps some 50’s by weeks end!
Happy Shrove Tuesday – Fat Tuesday! Certainly doesn’t feel like pre-Lent celebrating even though Easter is almost as late as it can be this year.
Overnight lows were around 10 with some single digits further to the north. Look for a repeat performance tomorrow morning.
To give everyone something to look forward to we should see back to normal temperatures this weekend. Next week may actually have some mild days!
6.8″ of heavy wet snow was recorded in Stewartsville. The temperature never really went below freezing here which resulted in the snow being on the wet side.
We didn’t quite surpass the November snow but it was close enough to point out how unique this Winter has been snowfall wise for our area. The two biggest snow events took place in November and March.
Today we will see sun breaking out and high temperatures should be in the mid to upper 30’s to help melt some of the snow from the past two storms.
Find your location on the above map to see how much snow you received. Light yellow is 6-8″ Darker yellow is 8″+
Winds will pick up later today and then we get more cold air. We should have high temperatures that are in the 20’s most of this week and overnight lows near 10. Thursday morning might be the coldest with lows around 5. Typically with snow on the ground overnight low temperatures sometimes get lower than forecast.
Make sure you get snow off of any walkways or driveways you care about as they will freeze over later today and tonight.
Local schools are either on delay or closed.
Since the snow was so heavy there might be some tree branches that are damaged or broken so be alert to these.
Event cancelled. Winter Storm Warning from 3/4/2019 3:38 AM to 7:00 AM EST for Hunterdon County, Warren County, Northampton County. More information.
SPSPHI from 3/3/2019 5:01 PM to 11:15 PM EST for Hunterdon County, Warren County, Northampton County: Heavy snow will impact the area over the next several hours. More information.
In what could be the biggest snowfall of the season will get underway later this afternoon. Today will see increasing clouds and somewhat mild temperatures, especially compared to the upcoming week, with pleasant temperatures. The temperatures may result in the precipitation starting off as some light rain or mix of rain and snow briefly. Once the precipitation starts to get heavier and nightfall approaches any mixed precipitation will go over to all snow.
Timing: Look for snow or mixed precipitation to start around 3-4 pm from SW to NE.
Peak: Look for the heaviest snow, perhaps approaching 1″ per hour, from around 7 pm to 1 am.
End: Snow should finish before sunrise
Western New Jersey is in the bullseye of heaviest snow for this storm. Some areas just to the south and east of us may actually see some enhancement from thunderstorm or two. If you hear or see this, you will automatically know your in a bonus snow area and can add on a few inches of snow!
My forecast remains 4-8″ for most areas with locally higher amounts where the heavy snow bands setup.
Winter Storm Warning is in place for all areas of western New Jersey.
After this storm passes, much colder and breezy weather will be in store for the new week. Look at the forecast low temperatures in the single digits Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings!
Make sure you remove any snow from areas that need to have it removed or else it will be frozen solid in place for most of the upcoming week.
Any I hope no one put away the winter coats, scarfs and boot – you will need them this week!
New event. Winter Storm Warning from 3/3/2019 3:00 PM to 3/4/2019 7:00 AM EST for Hunterdon County, Warren County, Northampton County. More information.
4.3″ of new snow fell overnight in Stewartsville and surrounding areas overnight. The snow started around midnight give or take and tapered off to flurries around 9 am.
Our Winter WEather Advisory expired at 9 am this morning. But it will be soon replaced with a Winter Storm Watch that will go in effect at 1 pm Sunday afternoon.
The next storm looks to begin in our area Sunday afternoon. This storm will be the biggest and last of the series. For our area this appears to be an all snow at this time. The same areas that received the most snow today look to repeat tomorrow. The good news is the worse of the storm will be Sunday night and early Monday morning before sun-up. I anticipate schools will be closed and traveled delayed for a while Monday morning.
Based an what I’m seeing now I’m going to forecast 4-8″ of snow for the Sunday-Monday storm. The real question is will this be the biggest snow of the season for us? We received over 7″ back in November.
As we are too aware, March is turning into a new extended winter season for us. The above photo was taken on this date last year. There have been several March’s in the past few years that have been cold and snowy. We certainly will have the cold part next week but I’m anticipating a return to normal and maybe even a warm up starting in around 10 days.
