April-Feel Today. Spotty Sprinkles…

 

Synopsis:

A January thaw is upon us as our flow will continue out of the Southwest through today. It will be April-like with readings some twenty degrees above average. Clouds will dominate and passing sprinkles are in the forecast as the atmosphere is moisture laden. A cool front will swing through early Friday morning and bring our readings down at least ten degrees from today’s highs (still temps will be well above average).

Colder weather will return this weekend.. A strong, cold high will be to our North as a stationary front throws moisture to the North.  All the models have gone significantly lighter with the precipitation field. At this time flurries or snow showers are possibility later Saturday and Saturday Night. This will not be a big deal.

Today:

More clouds than sun. A sprinkle is possible. Spring-like. Highs in the upper 50s, 60s over Central and Southern NJ. Breezy. Southwest wind at 15-25mph.

Tonight:

A passing shower, otherwise mostly cloudy. Lows will be in the mid 40s in the City, the 30s inland. Southwest winds will become Northwest late and increase to 10-20mph with higher gusts.

Friday:

Partly sunny. The thaw continues. Highs in the mid to upper 40s.  The average high for this time of the year is 38º.

Saturday:

Sun will give way to increasing clouds. Colder. Highs in the mid 30s. Chance of flurries or snow showers later in the afternoon and at night.

Sunday:

Mostly sunny and seasonal with readings in the upper 30s.

Monday:

Partly sunny with highs around 40º.

January Thaw. Near 50º Today…

 

 

screen-shot-2017-01-10-at-3-36-13-pm

Synopsis:

A January thaw is upon us as our flow will continue out of the Southwest through the end of the week. Say goodbye to the snow on the ground.  Temperatures today will be well above average.  A more significant warm front will move into the area tonight with a period of rain.  Thursday will be April-like with readings some twenty degrees above average.

Looking down the pike, our next shot of wintry weather comes late Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. A strong, cold high will be to our North as a stationary front throws moisture to the North. The potential is there for Light snow.  The question is-how much moisture will work into the immediate tri-state area?  As of this writing the computer models are not robust at all with precip amounts-meaning not a significant snowfall. Possibly just some flurries. Stay tuned.

Today:

Partly sunny and mild.  Highs in the lower 50s. Southwest winds at 10-15mph.

Tonight:

Rain developing by late evening. Mild. Steady to slowly rising temperatures. Lows will be in the 40s to lower 50s. Southeast to Southwest winds at 10-15mph.

Thursday:

More clouds than sun. A sprinkle is possible. Spring-like. Highs in the upper 50s.

Friday:

Partly sunny. The thaw continues. Highs in the upper 40s.  The average high for this time of the year is 38º.

Saturday:

Sun will give way to increasing clouds. Colder. Highs in the mid 30s. Chance of light snow or flurries later in the afternoon and at night.

Sunday:

Partly sunny and seasonal with readings in the upper 30s.

Stay Tuned.

Not as Harsh Today. Getting Above Freezing…

 

Synopsis:

The high pressure system that gave us our bitter blast will slip off the coast today . The return flow will bring up milder temperatures. In response to the approaching mild air clouds will increase today and a bit of spotty light snow, sleet or rain is possible during the afternoon (this won’t be a big deal, map above). A period of rain is expected tonight. A January thaw is on the way as our flow will continue out of the Southwest through the end of the week. Say goodbye to the snow on the ground.

Looking down the pike, our next shot of wintry weather comes Saturday night and Sunday morning. A strong, cold high will be to our North and a warm front pushes in from the South. The potential is there for snow or a mix at night into Sunday morning. Stay tuned.

Today:

Mostly cloudy, not as harsh. Spotty light snow, sleet or rain is possible in the afternoon mainly over the Northern half of the area. This won’t be a big deal (if it occurs at all).  Highs in the 30s to around 40º. South wind at 5-10mph.

Tonight:

Steadier rain will develop. Which may begin as a mix well inland. Steady to slowly rising temperatures. Lows will be in the 30s to around 40º. Southwest winds at 5mph.

Wednesday:

Partly sunny & mild. Highs in the lower 50s.

Thursday:

Partly sunny continued mild. Highs in the mid 50s.

Eastern Long Island the flakes will quite by mid morning. The sun will return soon after with slightly below average temperatures.

Now, to the snow threat for coastal and Eastern areas on Saturday. The latest computer models have nudge the snow shield Northwest with the developing offshore storm. It’s a not a huge jog, but enough of a concern to include the potential of some snow for Coastal areas, possibly the City, and especially Long Island.  Could a few inches fall out East.

Sun Returns. Becoming Windy & Mild…

 

Synopsis:

The low and cold front that caused the wet weather has moved off the coast. Any clouds will give way to sunshine. The cold air is displaced 200 miles West of the front.

It doesn’t look to be a big deal as the sun will soon return. The cold temperatures will be the main story. Another low will move up and off the coast over the weekend. At this time it looks to remain offshore. None of the computer models have the storm affecting the area significantly at this time. Stay tuned.

Sun and clouds, mild. Highs around 50º. Becoming windy in the afternoon. West wind increasing to 15-25mph with higher gusts.
