Today will be slightly below seasonable  temperature wise with a high only in the low 40’s. The partly sunny skies should help compared to the last few days.

Friday will feature increasing clouds with rain coming in the evening. I don’t think we will have too much to worry about as far as snow or sleet in the beginning in southern sections. However further to the north and west (especially elevated sections) may have some sleet/snow in the beginning.

The rain looks to continue and become heavy at times on Saturday unfortunately as the Phillipsburg Stateliners football team will be heading to Rutgers Stadium for the State championship game. History has shown this game never gets pleasant weather. The picture above was taken at last years championship game. Snow started falling during the game. During half time they had to plow the field!

Sunday looks to be somewhat dryer but I’m starting to get concerned about a potential “sneaky” coastal storm for Monday-Tuesday that may have some cold weather surprises. Not all of the computer models are showing this yet but the consistent European one has been showing this for a while. I’ll post more as it becomes available.

Today will be milder than yesterday. Most of the rain has moved out but there could be a shower or two until early afternoon as a cold front passes from the west. This will bring colder weather tonight and seasonable tomorrow.

Yesterday Stewartsville recorded 0.42″ of rain and a trace of snow and sleet.

Here is a great graphic from NWS Boston showing the different types of winter precipitation and how each type forms.

The only thing I’d like to point out here is it RARELY hails in the winter time. I hear a lot of folks saying “it’s hailing outside” when it’s really sleeting. Hail is found only in thunderstorm type of clouds with strong updrafts. Yes this can happen in the cold season but it’s rare.

Tuesday December 2, 2014. 5 pm.

As many of you saw already today’s weather is much different that yesterdays! The day started off with some blue skies:

But then as the day went on it became cloudier and colder. In fact light snow moved into the area just before noon. A very light snow accumulation resulted mainly on colder unpaved surfaces. The roads were fine. The temperature never dropped below freezing.

What’s ahead?

Look for the snow/sleet to changeover to all rain, albeit a cold rain this evening and continue into showers early Wednesday morning. Wednesday will feature improving weather!
