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.
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.
We received another 1/4″ of rain or so overnight. The rain is now pushing out of our area and brighter and sunny skies should return
temperatures may go up to the upper 40’s to low 50’s before a cold front pushes through our area that will bring colder temperatures back to our area. The winds will also pick up and become gusty at time. Colder and windy weather will last into Saturday.
Our next chance of wintry weather will happen late Sunday night into Monday morning. At this time it looks like another coating to perhaps 1″ of snow for our area.
Then on Tuesday another storm system will approach our area. This storm will have more moisture and will show us many different types of wintry precipitation. Right now it looks to start off as snow and perhaps accumulate a couple of inches. Then warmer air will move into our area and mix then changeover to sleet and perhaps eventually rain. More on this as we get closer to the event.
In a rare occurrence, the famous weather prognosticator groundhog Phil did not see his shadow this morning. Legend has it this means an early spring for our part of the country.
Don’t get too excited yet – his track record is not stellar. Of course we shouldn’t be too surprised about this. After all he’s a groundhog.
After the recent frigid weather in the east today’s news will certainly be welcome for all the still frozen from the cold weather.

Welcome to February! After another frigid night, temperatures will rebound a little today. Stewartsville went down to -2, a whole degree warmer than the night before. But with no wind, at least it didn’t feel as terrible.
The leading edge of the warmer air is bringing a weak disturbance to our south. The clouds that increased overnight actually helped keep our temperature from falling even lower. Usually with clear skies, calm wind and snow on the ground, air temperatures can drop quite low.
So don’t be surprised if you see some flurries today, especially in southern portions of western New Jersey, or if you are traveling south today. As you can see in the forecast snow map above, not much will be falling, even to our south.
Today we should see high temperatures in the 20’s. That’s a whole 10 degrees warmer than Thursday. Saturday we can tack on another 10 degrees and have high temperatures in the 30’s, which is seasonable for this time of year. We keep the trend going on Sunday with highs in the 40’s.
Even warmer next week but with that will be the chance for some rain, especially later in the week
Brrr it’s cold outside! Stewartsville has a low temperature of -3f. We don’t go below zero in southern portions of western New Jersey every winter
I wanted to pass along a nice graphic I came across about how to dress for cold weather. Of course for today the extreme cold on the right applies!
An arctic front was responsible for bringing us the batch of frigid temperatures. It was accompanied by snow squalls which blasted through the region.
So how long will the cold last? Thankfully not that long. Tonight will be another near zero night but we should recover to near 20 on Friday, the 30’s on Saturday and low 40’s on Sunday. Believe it or not we may see some 50’s on Tuesday!
Let’s hope the groundhog sees his shadow and we get an early Spring!
