Merry Christmas! Wintry weather on the way?

First and foremost Merry Christmas for all who celebrate! The weather in western New Jersey is certainly not very Christmas like with fog this morning and afternoon high temperatures to be in the mid 60’s!

7day

But we all knew the warm weather would have to come to an end sooner or later. Remember normal high temperatures for this time of year are in the upper 30’s!!

There will be some showers on and off from tonight into Sunday night. Monday morning looks rain free but then a storm system will be approaching our area Monday night into Tuesday. Enough cold air will start flowing into the area on Monday to give us high temperatures near normal. Monday night will feature a cold rain that will mix with sleet, especially in colder areas to the north and west and possibly mix with if not change to snow for a while. This all continues into Tuesday morning but warmer air will be arriving and should change us over to rain but mid day if not sooner. I don’t expect much if any in the way of accumulation at this point since the ground is still soo warm.

I’ll post updates on this as we approach. I just wanted to give a heads up wince there is a lot of family travel this time of year.

Fog, More rain Then Warmth

It’s quite foggy in some section of western New Jersey this Wednesday morning. Not good for anyone with last minute shopping to finish. PLease take your time.

More rain is on the way for this afternoon into the first part of this evening.

I expect western New Jersey to receive anywhere from 1/2″ to 1″ of rain.

Then just in time for Christmas Eve, warm temperatures!

If I don’t get a chance to post again until after Christmas I want to wish all readers a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Thank you for reading my thought on weather for our area.

Ready For A Florida Christmas?

If you ever wondered what Christmas would be like in Florida, you may get your wish this year. Residents of western New Jersey will experience record breaking temperatures this Christmas eve and high’s could approach the low 70’s! So get out the shorts and fire up the grill for Christmas! Let’s just hope we’re not shoveling snow on Memorial Day to make up for all the unusually mild weather…

Happy Winter Solstice

Even though it doesn’t feel like it in western New Jersey (or the entire east coast for that matter), today marks the beginning of winter. The weather this week will be anything but winter-like. Record high temperatures appear to be in the forecast for Christmas Eve. From this point on we will (slowly at first) start having more sunlight.

7day

We will see more clouds this week and rain Tuesday morning. Rain chances should decrease as Christmas Eve approaches.

Warning: seasonable weather ahead!

7 day weather forecast for western new jersey

colder weather ahead

Today should be the last of the nice and warm days for a while for western New Jersey. Even thought it felt closer to the season as you head out the door today, high temperatures will still be above normal in the low 50’s.

Another rain maker is on the way for Thursday. this system looks to bring more rain than the last. We should see around 1/3″ to 1/2″ of rain.

After the rain it turns colder. But nothing crazy for the second half of December. But it will feel very cold since we’re all used to the above normal temperatures! But don’t worry too much – the long rang outlook for next week has us back in the 50’s and possibly approaching 60 again. Hopefully Santa knows how to land without snow 😎

Icy Fog This Morning

Icy fog will greet you this Sunday morning in western New Jersey. Fog forms on clear calm night. Plus temperatures are in the mid 20’s so the fog will freeze on some surfaces so be careful early this morning until it warms up!

This afternoon will turn into a nice day with sunny skies and temps in the mid 50’s
