Colder Friday. Arctic Blast Friday Night…

 

Synopsis:

Today will be colder under a bright sky. Another bitter blast will arrive tonight and Saturday as the Canadian Arctic gates are wide open. Saturday’s highs may only remain in the teens.

The confidence in a significant snowfall continues to increase. Snow will fall on Sunday as low pressure to the South collides with a bitter cold high to the North. The snow looks to start in the early morning and continue throughout the day. The snow will come down heavy at times at the rate of possibly 1″-2″/hour for a few hours Sunday. Significant accumulations are likely. The “first call” map is above. The potential amounts  of 8″-14″ is now on the table by Monday morning.

All of the models have come North with low pressure. A warm wedge of air aloft will ride up through Southern and central NJ later Sunday. I’m a bit more confident that a mix will occur from the I-78 corridor, through the City and into Long Island. But before this happens heavy amounts of snow will have fallen. Potential snow amounts to the South will most likely be adjusted as you can see the lower band over Southern sections.

The snow/mix will be falling with bitterly cold readings. It’ll be quite dangerous to be outdoors with this combination.

Any morning light snow will end Monday. It’ll breezy and very cold.

Another Arctic blast will arrive on Tuesday. We are having a January that we haven’t seen in years.

Stay tuned.

Out of the Freezer Thursday…

 

Synopsis:

It won’t be as harsh today. It’ll actually feel like a heat wave with highs getting into the 40s! High pressure to our South and West will be responsible for pleasant break

Friday will be colder under a bright sky. Another bitter blast will arrive Friday Night and Saturday as the Canadian Arctic gates are wide open. Saturday’s highs may only remain in the teens.

Snow looks like a good bet Sunday as low pressure to the South collides with a bitter cold high to the North. The snow looks to start in the early morning and continue throughout the day. At this time the potential for significant accumulations has increased. All of the models have come North with low pressure. Putting a number on this, at this present moment, would be a potential 6″-12″. This is a generalization output and will be fine tuned as more guidance comes in over the next couple of days. Some mixing is possible over central and Southern areas. The snow will be falling with bitterly cold readings. It’ll be quite dangerous to be outdoors with this combination.

Any morning light snow will end Monday. It’ll breezy and very cold.

Stay tuned.

Snow/Mix Sunday…

 

Synopsis:

A second round of snow for many will occur today as low pressure takes shape off the Mid-Atlantic coast. The forecast looks on track. On and off snow today of varying intensities. Coastal and Southern areas may experience more rain and or a mix for much of the day. There looks to be a lull in the action for parts of the area later this am or afternoon. So don’t be surprised if it stops. As the storm gets going later today and this evening any rain South will go over to a burst of accumulating snow. The challenge here is how far west will the significant band of accumulating be? This all ends from West to East later this evening and after midnight East of the City. Much of the region looks to receive 2″-4″ of snow with lighter amounts over Southern NJ. The jackpot zone looks to be North and East of the City.

MLK Day will feature mostly sunny skies and colder readings. Highs will be near freezing. An Arctic blast will arrive late day Monday and into Tuesday. Highs Tuesday will only be in the lower 20s with a frigid wind to add to the misery.

On & Off Snow Saturday Northern 1/2 of Region…

 

Synopsis:

This weekend will be a bit unsettled. There will be upper level energy working over the region. It’ll come in two shots. Areas of on and off light snow and rain (depending on your temperature) will be likely on Saturday. A light accumulation is possible over the Northern half of the region. The possibility of a few inches is there for Northwestern areas mainly on colder surfaces. Southern areas will see little in the way of precipitation and it may end up being dry.

The second threat will be on Sunday. There will be a developing area of offshore low pressure. At this time it looks like most of the snow will stay East of the region. Mainly cloudy skies are expected for Sunday. If the band of snow moves farther West a brush of light snow is possible at the coast. This is a low potential at this time.

MLK Day will feature mostly sunny skies and colder readings. Highs will be near freezing. An Arctic blast will arrive late day Monday and into Tuesday. Highs Tuesday will only be in the lower 20s with a frigid wind to add to the misery.

Wednesday readings will struggle to get to freezing as the core of the cold airmass moves out.

Stay tuned.

Chilled Sun Friday…

 

Synopsis:

Today will be chilly with a gusty wind. Readings will be just above freezing. The sun will dominate.

This weekend will be a bit unsettled. There will be upper level energy working over the region. It’ll come in two shots. Areas of light snow and rain (depending on your temperature) will be likely on Saturday. Some regions may get a coating of snow. The possibility of 1-2″ is there for Northwestern areas. Southern areas will see little in the way of precipitation and what does occur looks to be mainly rain.

The second threat will be on Sunday. There will be a developing area of offshore low pressure. At this time it looks like most of the snow will stay East of the region. Mainly cloudy skies are expected for Sunday. If the band of snow moves farther West a brush of light snow is possible at the coast. This is a low potential at this time.
