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 š It is January after all.
While driving home last night seeing the moon out and partly cloudy skies I knew it was going to be hard for the snow to our south to make its way this far north.
But it eventually made its way up north to some locations with a light coating of snow
The week ahead will start off cold but return to seasonable levels of temperature and precipitation
There is a slight chance of snow or rain showers Thursday night into Friday morning.
Then all attention turns to the potential for a more important start next weekend. The weather models are starting to show this potential but it is still a week away and much can change between now and then. I will keep an eye on it.
The winds of the last 2 days are gradually subsiding. Today will be cold with some wind and highs in the 30’s. Tonight will be one of the coldest nights of the new year so far. Saturday will feature increasing clouds with some light now arriving in the evening. This is going to be primarily a southern storm and will only impact our area with a coating to 1″. Some areas to the north, say north of I-80 may only see flurries or perhaps nothing at all!
Sunday will be dry with the snow staying well to our south.

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
New event. Winter Weather Advisory from 1/7/2019 10:00 PM to 1/8/2019 7:00 AM EST for Hunterdon County, Warren County, Northampton County. More information.
New event. Areal Flood Advisory from 1/5/2019 11:03 AM to 3:00 PM EST for Hunterdon County, Warren County, Northampton County. More information.
Luckily the overnight frozen precipitation threat was minimal and mostly to the far north. A trace of rain was noted in Stewartsville with temperatures remaining above normal.
Once the clouds start thinning look for a breeze to kick in and result in afternoon high temperatures in the low to mid 40’s. There could be some wind gusts to the low 20’s
Slightly above normal temperatures look to continue for at least the next week or so.
The rain for Saturday looks to be slightly less that what appeared yesterday. Right now it looks like we should get about 1/2″. The morning looks like the rainy period with improving conditions later in the afternoon. Sunday should be a nice day but breezy with high temperatures in the mid to upper 40’s.
