Hopefully you don’t have outdoor plans. If you do, dress accordingly. Its not only raining, but its chilly! Temperatures in western New Jersey are in the upper 40’s! This is more like November than October.

Western New Jersey has it much better than southern section of the state. Here’s a summary of rain and wind so far:

Moderate Rain On the Way

Radar show an area of moderate rain (green) moving north towards western New Jersey. Look for rain to start picking up in the next hour or two.

Friday Morning Joaquin Update

02. October 2015 · Comments Off on Friday Morning Joaquin Update · Categories: Hurricane · Tags: ,

115432W_sm

Overnight models continue to support the idea of hurricane Joaquin heading to the north and east and not directly impacting the US coast. There of course will be indirect effects.

12107076_1149187978444123_7260283343702031871_n

Rain will move back into western New Jersey this morning and remain on and off through the night. Showers should be the rule for both Saturday and Sunday. Heavier rain now looks to remain to our south with our area receiving between 1/2″ and 1″ of rain – perhaps a bit less to the north.

And let’s not forget about the wind. I already had a gust to 19 this morning and the day just begun!

7day

Post Joaquin we get into some nice fall weather.

Updates as warranted.

Latest on Hurricane Joaquin

The 5 pm advisory from the NHC is out above. The forecast path is now a miss on landfall for the US. But that does not mean we won’t feel the effect of this strong hurricane. We will indirectly receive some rainfall from it along with breezy conditions. Closer to the coast will be a different story. They are already experiencing flooding at high tides and the waves will get larger and larger.

Also note on the map above it won’t be in our latitude until Tuesday. Expect breezy conditions, especially in exposed elevated locations, and near the shore of course, on Monday and Tuesday.

More updates as they become available.

This is no surprise as we have had an on shore flow for the past several days with a strong north easterly winds. These winds will only increase in the next few days – even if Joaquin stays far to our east!

Hurricane Joaquin Upgraded

01. October 2015 · Comments Off on Hurricane Joaquin Upgraded · Categories: Hurricane · Tags:

Joaquin is now a major hurricane, a category 4 as of 2 pm:

12072579_10153632417560842_3853631599773028909_n

Notice that the official National Hurricane Center track is even further to the east from this morning. I expect this trend to continue. The big question that needs to be answered now is how far east will it go?

Hurricane Joaquin Thursday 8 am Update

01. October 2015 · Comments Off on Hurricane Joaquin Thursday 8 am Update · Categories: Hurricane · Tags:

12047144_1052356004775594_6905170542419609007_n

The 8 am update is in and the above map looks ominous for New Jersey. Joaquin remains a category 3 hurricane with 120 mph winds.

But I believe the European computer model might have been on the right track. Some of the models are now starting to trend to the right. The official NHC track above is now further to the right than yesterday (even though it moves from a mid-Atlantic landfall to our neck of the woods).

12027255_975321485844771_2897123652338300911_o

Above in the latest run of the GFS (American model) and it is now trending further east as well. The above map is forecast for Sunday evening. Normally most meteorologists don’t pay too much attention to these “middle” runs but the NWS has been launching weather balloons 4 times a day now instead of the usual 2 times just for Joaquin forecasting.

So today will be an interesting day for Joaquin tracking. Even if Joaquin misses us out to sea, we will still have another period of heavier rain Friday into Saturday and the coast line will be impacted by waves and a persistent on shore flow for several days resulting in tidal flooding.
