Bitter Sun Sunday. Near Freezing Monday! Quick Hitting PM Lt. Snow/Mix.

Synopsis:

The Arctic high pressure responsible for the coldest night of the season so far will  provide a mostly sunny sky despite the numbing cold  today. Thankfully the winds will be much lighter.

There is light at the end of the tunnel-temperatures will rise above freezing next week. This will be the first time the mercury has been above the freezing mark since Christmas Day.

A bit of light snow or a mix will fall Monday afternoon as a weak system moves in from the West. It will only last a couple of hours. This will not add up to much in the way of accumulation.

A January thaw will be well received as readings go well above average by Thursday and Friday as a deep Southerly flow develops.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Mostly sunny and cold.  Highs in the upper teens to lower 20s. Northwest to Southwest 5-10mph.

Tonight:

Becoming mostly cloudy. Not as cold with steady temperatures along the coast. Lows in the lower 20s in the City, the teens and single digits inland.  Southwest winds at 5-10mph.

Monday:

Mostly cloudy with a chance of afternoon light snow or a mix. This will only last a couple of hours  Highs in the lower to mid 30s.

Blizzard Warnings for Coastal NJ & Eastern Long Island…

 

Synopsis:

A distributive snowstorm will affect areas today. Blizzard Warnings have been issued for Monmouth, Ocean and Suffolk counties with Winter Storm Warnings and Advisories elsewhere.

A rapidly intensifying storm will continue to go through bombogenesis today. The latest computer models have the storm over or just to the East of a favorable track for significant snow. The storm’s barometric pressure is incredibly low and usually found only in hurricanes. Most of the computer models have a good amount of snow for a majority of the area, while other have “some” to their snow amounts. A shift more toward the West would mean a greater potential for higher amounts for all areas.  A shift to the East, lighter amounts. At this time, I think a Westward shift is/will happen. For this reason, I  going with the consensus in the models. The possible snow amounts are above. The highest snow totals will be at the coast with lighter amounts farther inland.

Blizzard conditions are likely along the coast with near whiteout conditions. Winds will gust between 30-60mph with the higher gusts at the coast.

The snow will become widespread and heavier this  morning. It will be a quick hitter inland with only about 6-7 hours of accumulating snow. The snow will taper off from West to East during the day.

It will be “The Storm of Miles”. The difference of a few miles could mean the difference between a bit of snow and big snow.

The coldest air of the season will usher in Friday. Highs will struggle to get to 10º. Not fun times.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Snow. Heavy at times along the coast. Very windy. The snow will taper off during the afternoon from West to East. Highs in the mid 20s. Northwest winds at 20-40mph with gusts to 60mph at the coast.

Tonight:

Any snow out East will end otherwise clearing skies and bitterly cold. Lows in the single digits. Northwest winds at 15-30mph with gusts to 45mph. Wind chills -5º to -25º.

Friday:

Partly sunny, windy and bitterly cold.  Highs 8º to 15º above. Wind chills -5º to -20º.

Saturday:

Partly sunny and bitterly cold.  Highs within a few degrees of 10º.

Sunday:

Mostly sunny and cold.  Highs in the mid 20s.

Blizzard Warnings for Coastal NJ & Eastern Long Island…

 

Synopsis:

A distributive snowstorm will affect areas closest to the coast on Thursday. Blizzard Warnings have been issued for Monmouth, Ocean and Suffolk counties with Winter Storm Warnings and Advisories elsewhere.

A rapidly intensifying storm will develop off the Southeast coast and move North tonight and Thursday. The latest computer models have the storm over or just to the East of a favorable track for significant snow. The storm’s barometric pressure is incredibly low and usually found only in hurricanes. Some of the computer models have a good amount of snow for a majority of the area, while other have added “some” to their snow amounts. A shift more toward the West would mean a greater potential for higher amounts for all areas.  A shift to the East, lighter amounts. At this time, I think a Westward shift will happen. For this reason, I have upped the possible snow amounts (map above). The highest snow totals will be at the coast with lighter amounts farther inland.

Blizzard conditions are likely along the coast with near whiteout conditions. Winds will gust between 30-60mph with the higher gusts at the coast.

The snow begins tonight and continues Thursday. The snow will taper off from West to East during the day.

It will be “The Storm of Miles”. The difference of a few miles could mean the difference between a bit of snow and big snow.

The coldest air of the season will usher in Friday. Highs will struggle to get to 10º. Not fun times.

Stay tuned.

Tonight:

Increasing and thickening clouds. Light snow developing around Midnight from the coast than farther inland. Lows in the lower 20s in the City, near 5º to 15º inland. Winds becoming North to Northeast and increasing to 15-25mph late.

Thursday:

Snow. Heavy at times along the coast. Very windy. The snow will taper off during the afternoon from West to East. Highs in the mid 20s. Northwest winds at 20-40mph with gusts to 60mph at the coast.

Friday:

Partly sunny, windy and bitterly cold.  Highs 8º to 15º above. Wind chills well below zero.

Saturday:

Partly sunny and bitterly cold.  Highs within a few degrees of 10º.

Sunday:

Mostly sunny and cold.  Highs in the mid 20s.

Monday:

Mostly cloudy with rain or snow.  Highs in the mid 30s.

Snow Potential Thursday. Heaviest East…

 

Synopsis:

The below freezing readings will continue until further notice. The last time the temperature was above freezing was Christmas Day.

Now on to the snow potential. A rapidly intensifying storm will develop off the Florida coast and move North Wednesday night and Thursday. The latest computer models have the storm over or just to the East of a favorable track for significant snow. The storm’s barometric pressure is incredibly low and usually found only in hurricanes. Some of the computer models have a good amount of snow for a majority of the area, while other models just have a glancing blow. A shift more toward the West would mean a greater potential of accumulating snow for all areas.  A shift to the East, little to no snow. I will go in the middle of the road with snow amounts. Above is the  potential snow amounts. The highest snow totals will be at the coast with lighter amounts farther inland. My thoughts about accumulations have not changed since last night. I’ll have an update afternoon Noon today. This will most likely change.

The snow begins tonight and continues Thursday. The snow will taper off from West to East during the day.

It will be “The Storm of Miles”. The difference of a few miles could mean the difference between a bit of snow and big snow.

Whatever the outcome with the ocean storm, the coldest air of the season will usher in Friday. Highs will struggle to get to 10º.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Partly sunny and cold  Highs in the upper 20s to around 30º. West to Southeast winds at 5mph.

Tonight:

Increasing and thickening clouds. Light snow developing around Midnight from the coast than farther inland. Lows in the lower 20s in the City, near 5º to 15º inland. Northeast to North winds increasing to 10-20mph.

Thursday:

Mostly cloudy with snow likely, especially at the coast. Highs in the mid 20s.

Friday:

Partly sunny, windy and bitterly cold.  Highs 8º to 12º above. Wind chills well below zero.

Saturday:

Partly sunny and bitterly cold.  Highs within a few degrees of 10º.

Cold Sticks Around. Snow Potential Thursday…

 

Synopsis:

The below freezing readings will continue until further notice. The last time the temperature was above freezing was Christmas Day.

Now on to the snow potential. A rapidly intensifying storm will develop off the Florida coast and move North Wednesday night and Thursday. The latest computer models have the storm over or just to the East of a favorable track for significant snow. The storm’s barometric pressure is incredibly low and usually found only in hurricanes. Some of the computer models have a good amount of snow for a majority of the area, while other models just have a glancing blow. A shift more toward the West would mean a greater potential of accumulating snow for all areas.  A shift to the East, little to no snow. I will go in the middle of the road with snow amounts. Above is the first stab at potential snow amounts. The highest snow totals will be at the coast with lighter amounts farther inland. This will no doubt change.

The snow begins Wednesday night and continues Thursday. It will be “The Storm of Miles”. The difference of a few miles could mean the difference between a bit of snow and big snow.

Frigid Conditions Through the Week. Snow Potential Thursday…

 

Synopsis:

The bitter blast will be with us until further notice as the gates are open for Arctic air to spill into the nation as strong high pressure continues to move in from Canada. Readings will be well below freezing through the shortened workweek.

I am keeping an eye on a Western Atlantic storm for Wednesday Night through Thursday. The latest computer models have it to the East of a favorable track for significant snow but just close enough for a potential for “some snow” for most of the tri-state area. A shift more toward the coast would mean a greater potential of snow for all areas.  A shift to the East, no snow. There will be a trough of low pressure extending out from the storm toward the coast. If this feature develops and moves over the region the potential for snow will increase for most areas. The highest snow totals will be at the coast with little in the way of accumulation well inland. A possible snow amounts map will be out by this afternoon.

Whatever the outcome with the ocean storm, the coldest air of the season will usher in Friday. Highs will struggle to get to 10º.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Mostly sunny and cold  Highs in the lower to mid 20s. West wind at 8-12mph.

Tonight:

Clear and frigid. Lows in the mid teens in the City, near 0º to 10º inland. West to Northwest winds at 8-12mph.

Wednesday:

Partly sunny and cold  Highs in the upper 20s.

Thursday:

Mostly cloudy with a low potential of some snow, especially at the coast. Highs in the upper 20s.

Friday:

Partly sunny, windy and bitterly cold.  Highs 8º to 12º above. Wind chills well below zero.

Saturday:

Partly sunny and bitterly cold.  Highs within a few degrees of 10º.
