Frigid Overnight. Sleet Moves in Later Saturday…

 

Synopsis:

Tonight will be mostly cloudy and frigid once again with lows dipping into the single digits in spots outside the urban corridor.

The weekend will be grey. Any glimpse of sun early Saturday morning will fade behind lowering and thickening clouds. A developing coastal low over the Carolinas will move Northeast and throw some light snow or a mix our way Saturday afternoon and night. This looks like mainly a sleet and freezing rain event. Yes, a bit of light snow may fall at the onset Saturday afternoon on the Northern fringe of the advancing precipitation (2nd map above).  The weak storm will move up and off the NJ coast by Sunday morning. Light sleet freezing rain and rain will wind down on Sunday morning. This low will not be a big precipitation producer. A light accumulation of sleet and glaze is possible. A Winter Weather Advisory has been posted for parts of NJ (1st map above) for slippery conditions. Skies should remain mostly cloudy for Valentine’s Day afternoon.

Presidents’ Day now looks cloudy. The latest computer guidance keeps enough moisture with an active jet stream moving up the Piedmont to produce an on and off light mix. This will be a scattered  and light event. Highs will be around freezing.

The next system will be more robust and will affect our weather Monday night into Tuesday with the potential of an ice storm. This storm will be a significant precipitation producer. The track here is key. Arctic high pressure will be to our North. How much warm air works in is yet to be determined. The threat is there for some snow, freezing rain and or sleet for much of the area. Rain may fall for a time over Southern sections as well. This looks to be a quick mover and should be exiting our region during the afternoon.

A well deserved brief break will greet us on Wednesday.

The next storm in this parade will be on Thursday. The potential is there for snow/mix and or some rain. This also looks to be a significant precipitation producer.

Needless to say, we are in a very active pattern.

Stay Tuned.

Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.

Tonight:

Mostly cloudy. Very cold. Lows in the lower 20s in the City, the single digits and teens inland. North winds at 5mph.

Saturday:

Mostly cloudy. Cold. Chance of a bit of light snow or a mix during the afternoon and evening. Highs in the upper 20s.

Sunday (Valentine’s Day):

Morning light snow/mix/rain depending on location. The precipitation will taper off and skies will remain mostly cloudy during the afternoon. Highs in the mid 30s.

Monday (Presidents’ Day):

Cloudy with an on and off light mix possible.  Highs in the mid 30s.

Tuesday:

Potential ice storm. Highs around freezing.

Wednesday:

A mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the mid 30s.

Clouds, Some Sun Friday. Cold…

 

Synopsis:

A weak system will pass well South of the area today. Clouds will dominate with peeks of sun. Readings will remain below freezing.

Tonight will be partly cloudy and frigid once again with lows dipping into the single digits in spots outside the urban corridor.

The weekend will start with a bit of sun Saturday morning but clouds will lower and thicken. A developing coastal low over the Carolinas will move Northeast and throw some light snow or a mix our way Saturday evening and night. The storm will move up and off the NJ coast by Sunday morning. Light snow, mix and rain along the Southern coastal areas will wind down on Sunday. This low will not be a big precipitation producer. A light accumulation of snow and ice is possible, especially inland (think a coating). Skies should remain mostly cloudy for Valentine’s Day afternoon.

Presidents’ Day now looks more grey. The latest computer guidance keeps enough moisture with an active jet stream moving up the Piedmont to produce an on and off light mix. This will not be a big deal, but we’d like some sun already! The cold will remain with highs only around 30º.

The next storm will affect our weather Monday night into Tuesday with the potential of snow or a mix. This storm will should be a significant precipitation producer. The track here is key. Arctic high pressure will be to our North. How much warm air works in is yet to be determined. The threat is there for significant snow, freezing rain and or sleet for much of the area. Rain may fall for a time over Southern sections as well.

Needless to say, we are in a very active pattern.

Early Snow Southern NJ Ends This AM. Clouds, Some Sun. Cold….

 

Synopsis:

The weak low pressure system that gave the area a period of snow last night into this morning will move out to sea. Any snow over Southern NJ will end during the morning hours. A mix of clouds and some sun is expected today with readings between 30º-35º.

Tonight will be partly cloudy and very cold as high pressure influences our weather from Canada. Lows will be in the single digits well inland.

A second weak system will pass well South of the area on Friday. Any morning clouds will give way to mainly sunny skies. Despite the bright conditions it will be bitterly cold with readings only in the 20s as the high continues to dominate.

The weekend will start with a bit of sun Saturday morning but clouds will lower and thicken and I am introducing the chance of late day snow with a developing coastal low over the Carolinas. Snow or a mix is likely Saturday night. The storm will move up and off the NJ by Sunday morning. Snow or a mix will wind down by late morning. An accumulation is possible. Amounts are yet to be determined, but it doesn’t look like a “big one” at this time. Valentine’s Day Afternoon will feature the return of some sun with highs in the mid 30s.

A mix of sun and clouds will greet us for Presidents’ Day. The cold will remain with highs only around 30º.

The next storm will affect our weather Monday night into Tuesday.

Needless to say, we are in a very active pattern.

Stay Tuned.

Period of Snow Tonight. Light North, Heavier South…

 

Synopsis:

A weak system will pass to our South tonight into Thursday morning. This will produce a period of snow from around midnight into the morning hours. The snow will be light and intermittent to the North, steadier and heavier to the South. The snow will end around sunrise to the North and West and taper off at the coast by mid morning. The steadier precipitation has moved North so amounts have been raised throughout the region. The jackpot zone for snow will be Southern areas where 3″-5″ is likely. The sun will return during the day with readings near freezing.

A second weak system will pass well South of the area on Friday. Any morning clouds will give way to mainly sunny skies. Despite the bright conditions it will be bitterly cold with readings only in the 20s as Arctic high pressure influences our region.

The weekend will start with a bit of sun Saturday morning but clouds will lower and thicken and I am introducing the chance of late day snow with a developing coastal low over the Carolinas. Snow or a mix is likely Saturday night. The storm will move up and off the NJ by Sunday morning. Snow or a mix will wind down by late morning. An accumulation is possible.

Sun to Clouds Wednesday. Period of Light Snow Tonight…

 

Synopsis:

Sun will give way to clouds today. It’ll be cold. Many areas will struggle to get to the freezing mark.

A weak system will pass to our South tonight into Thursday morning. Light snow is possible for much of the region tonight into early Thursday morning, the exception being Northern areas. A few hours of steadier snow will occur over central and Southern NJ. These areas have the potential to receive 1″-3″ of snow by 10 am Thursday. The sun will return with readings near freezing

A second weak system will pass even farther South Friday morning only giving the area clouds with just a chance of a few hours of snow over Southern NJ. The sun will be the dominate feature in the sky. Despite the bright conditions it will be bitterly cold with readings only in the 20s as Arctic high pressure influences our region.

This weekend should start off tranquil. I’m keeping Saturday snow-free at this time (although some light snow may sneak in later in the day). A coastal storm will form off the NJ coast Saturday night and move Northeast on Sunday. The threat is there for snow or a mix Saturday night into Valentine’s Day.

Needless to say, we are in a very active pattern.

Stay Tuned.

Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.

Clearing Overnight. Sun to Clouds Wednesday…

 

Synopsis:

Skies will clear tonight as high pressure works in from the West. A refreeze of slush and standing water is expected as all temperatures will be well below freezing.

Sun will give way to clouds by late afternoon Wednesday. Many areas will crack the freezing mark.

Two weak systems will pass well to our South Wednesday night into Thursday morning and then again on Friday morning. A bit of light snow is possible mainly over Southern sections of the tri-state area. Both days will feature a mix of clouds and some sun mainly North of where the shield of light snow falls (NYC vicinity and North).

This weekend should start off tranquil. I’m keeping Saturday snow-free at this time. The models are all over the place with a potential developing coastal storm for the first half of Sunday. The threat is there for snow or a mix Saturday night into Valentine’s Day.

Needless to say, we are in a very active pattern.

Stay Tuned.

Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.

Tonight:

Clearing skies and cold. A refreeze of slush and water will occur. There will be icy spots in untreated areas. Lows in the mid 20s in the City, the teens inland. Northwest winds at 5-10mph.

Wednesday:

Sun to clouds. Highs 30º-35º. Northwest winds at 5-10mph.

Thursday:

Morning light snow likely, mainly South of the City. Some afternoon sun. Highs around 30º.

Friday:

Potential of light snow mainly for central and Southern areas. Some afternoon sun.  Cold. Highs in the mid to upper 20s.

Saturday:

Mostly cloudy. Cold.  Highs around 30º.

Sunday (Valentine’s Day):

Snow potential. Late day sun possible. Highs in the upper 20s.

 

Snow Northwestern ‘Burbs. Mix/Rain Coast & South…

 

Synopsis:

A weak low will move from West to East with a period of light snow today for the Northwestern suburbs and parts of the NYC vicinity. Mixed precipitation and rain is possible along the Southern Edge. Parts of Central and Southern NJ will receive little in the way of rain in the morning, but a bit of light rain is likely toward midday and afternoon.

A Winter Weather Advisory is up for accumulating snow and ice for the Northwestern ‘burbs. Possible snow amounts are above.

We’ll get a brief break Wednesday as a quickly moving high pressure system moves in. It’ll be sunny with readings near freezing.

Arctic Air will be just to our North for the end of the week. At the same time the Southern jet stream will be riding up and off the coast with weak surface impulses moving through. The combination of  these ingredients will give the parts region the likelihood for light snow Thursday. A light accumulation is possible, mainly South of NYC. The sun may return later in the afternoon. The second impulse will swing through for the first half of Friday. This system again looks more likely to affect Central and Southern regions of the tri-state with light snow. The Northern counties may not get into the action.  The sun may return later in the afternoon on Friday.

This weekend should start off tranquil. I’m keeping Saturday snow-free at this time. The models are all over the place with a potential developing coastal storm. The threat is there for snow or a mix Saturday night into Valentine’s Day. This is by no way etched in stone.

Needless to say, we are in a very active pattern.

Stay Tuned.

Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.

Today:

A period of snow is likely from the NYC vicinity and to the North and West. A mix will occur on the Southern fringe of the band of snow. Parts of Central and Southern NJ may not see much in the way of light rain until later in the morning into the early afternoon. Highs in the 30s. Northeast to Northwest winds at 5-10mph.

Tonight:

Clearing skies and cold. A refreeze of slush and water will occur. There will be icy spots in untreated areas. Lows in the mid 20s in the City, the teens inland. Northwest winds at 5-10mph.

Wednesday:

Mostly sunny, cold. Highs around 30º.

Thursday:

Light snow likely, mainly South of the City. Some afternoon sun. Highs around 30º.

Mostly cloudy. Cold.  Highs in the upper 20s.

Sunny but Frigid Monday. Light Snow Tuesday Northern 1/2 of Tri-State…

 

Synopsis:

Bright and very cold conditions courtesy of high pressure will be the story for today. Highs will remain well below freezing.

Increasing and thickening clouds tonight. Light snow will develop late over the Northern half of the tri-state area.

The weak low will move from West to East with a period of light snow for Tuesday. Mixed precipitation and rain is possible along the Southern Edge. Parts of Central and Southern NJ will receive little in the way of precipitation. A light accumulation is likely for the Northern half of the region. Possible snow amounts are above. These amounts will change some with new computer guidance coming in today.

We’ll get a brief break Wednesday as a quickly moving high pressure system moves in. It’ll be sunny with readings near freezing.

Arctic Air will be just to our North for the end of the week. At the same time the Southern jet stream will be riding up and off the coast. The combination of the two ingredients will give the region the potential for snow Thursday and the potential for light snow or a light mix Friday. The severity of this system is unknown at this time. Some of the models have the heavier precipitation staying just to our South. Please be aware that late week conditions maybe one of accumulating snow or ice.

Needless to say, we are in a very active pattern.

Deep Freeze Tonight. Sunny but Frigid Monday…

 

Synopsis:

Cold high pressure will move in tonight. This will result in clearing skies and bitterly cold readings. Any standing water or slush will freeze solid.

Bright and very cold conditions will greet us for Monday. Highs will remain well below freezing.

A low developing to our West will move our way Tuesday with a period of light snow or mixed precipitation. A light accumulation of snow is possible.

We’ll get a brief break Wednesday as a quickly moving high pressure system moves in. It’ll be sunny with readings near freezing.

Arctic Air will be just to our North for the end of the week. At the same time the Southern jet stream will be riding up and off the coast.

Quick Hitting Super Bowl Sunday Snow. Bit of Rain to Start South…

 

Synopsis:

A storm developing off the North Carolina will move up and off our coast today. This should result in a moderate to signifiant snowfall on Super Bowl Sunday for most areas. The exception being areas to the North and West and along the South Jersey shore. The storm, unlike it’s predecessor is a quick hitter. The snow will begin around dawn or shortly thereafter. Rain may fall at the onset over parts of central and Southern NJ, but it will go over to snow. The snow will taper off from Southwest to Northeast during the afternoon. A period of heavy snow is possible for a couple hours either side of midday along and to the East of the I-95 corridor.

The last call snow amounts are posted. Yes, a plowable snow is expected for most with the jackpot amounts over Eastern Long Island and Southeastern Conncecticut. This area will be in the heaviest banding of snow pivoting around the storm. The amounts have been lowered North and West as this area will most likely be out of the heavier banding of precipitation.

Skies will clear tonight and all readings will be below freezing.

Bright and cold conditions will greet us for the beginning of the week.

Another system developing to our West will move our way Tuesday with a period of light snow or mixed precipitation.

Looking down the pike it could get quite active late week as Arctic air will be just to our North and plenty of moisture will be to our South. How this all plays remains to be seen.

Stay Tuned.
