Frigid Overnight. Winds Relax. Sun to Clouds Saturday…

 

Synopsis:

High pressure over Canada will nose into the area tonight. This will result in a frigid night under clear skies and almost calm winds. Temperatures will plummet, especially inland where readings will reach the single digits.

The weekend forecast will continue to reminds us that it’s January.  Saturday will start off with sun but clouds will roll in during the afternoon. Highs will be near freezing.

The potential for light snow or snow showers remains for Saturday night and Sunday morning. Areas North of the City may not see a flake. The low never becomes strong until it’s way off the coast. The Northern and Southern jet do not phase and are progressive; but what happens is there’s enough energy from both streams to produce some light snow or flurries across the areas on Saturday night and Sunday morning. The light snow shield brushes the NYC vicinity. The airmass will be very dry so how much light snow falls remains to be seen. It maybe just a few snow showers.  Areas to the North of the City may not see any snow.  Southern NJ will be the jackpot zone for snow. The possible snow amounts are above. The sun will return Sunday.

You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Tonight:

Mostly clear. Frigid. Lows in the lower 20s in the City, the single digits and teens inland. Northwest winds diminishing to 5mph.

Saturday:

Sun to afternoon clouds. Cold. Highs around freezing. Northwest winds at 5mph.

Sunday:

Potential for light snow or snow showers in the morning, especially South of the City. Clouds will give way to sun. Highs around freezing.

Monday:

Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 30s.

Tuesday:

Sunny. Highs around 40º.

Wednesday:

Partly sunny. Highs in the lower 40s.

Winds Slowly Abate Today. Bright, but Cold Friday…

 

Synopsis:

The pressure gradient between low pressure in Eastern Canada and high pressure over the Great Lakes will weaken today. This will result in the wicked winds slowly abating through the day. Highs will most likely remain just below freezing, despite the sunshine.

The weekend forecast will continue to reminds us that it’s January.  Saturday will start off with sun but clouds will roll in during the afternoon. A few flurries are possible by late day.

The potential for light snow or snow showers remains for Saturday night and Sunday morning. Areas North of the City may not see a flake and the sun may return for the second half of Sunday for all areas.

The low never becomes strong until it’s way off the coast. The Northern and Southern jet do not phase and are progressive; but what happens is there’s enough energy from both streams to produce some light snow or flurries across the areas on Saturday night and Sunday morning as seen on both the GFS and European models below. The light snow shield brushes the NYC vicinity. The airmass will be very dry so how much light snow falls remains to be seen. It maybe just a few snow showers.  Areas to the North of the City may not see any snow.  You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Mostly sunny, breezy and cold. Highs around 30º. Northwest winds at 10-20mph. Wind chills in the 20s.

Tonight:

Mostly clear. Frigid. Lows in the lower 20s in the City, the upper single digits and teens inland. Northwest winds diminishing to 5-10mph.

Saturday:

Sun to afternoon clouds. Slight chance of late day flurries. Cold. Highs around freezing.

Sunday:

Mostly cloudy. Potential for light snow or snow showers in the morning, especially South of the City. Highs around freezing.

Monday:

Partly sunny. Highs in the mid 30s.

Tuesday:

Partly sunny. Highs around 40º.

January Has Finally Arrived. Cold, Wicked Winds…

 

Synopsis:

January will finally make an appearance with cold temperatures and bone chilling winds. Low pressure will be over Southeastern Canada, at the same time, strong high pressure will be over the Northern Plains. This will cause a tight pressure gradient which will result in strong Northwest winds. Gusts between 30-40mph will occur through today. Highs will only be in the 30s with wind chills in the 20s under partly sunny skies on Thursday.

The Canadian high will move toward the Northeast on Friday. The winds should abate some. It’ll only be near freezing despite the sunshine.

One thing is sure about the weekend-it’ll be cold!  Saturday will start off with sun but clouds will roll in during the afternoon. A few flurries are possible by late day.

The potential for a light snowfall still exists for Saturday night and Sunday. The GFS, the crazy model that gave the area a snowstorm two days ago (didn’t believe that for a second) barely has flakes falling in the NYC vicinity on Sunday. The European which has been consistent, with minor changes (which is expected) has been showing light snow or snow showers over the region. The storm never becomes strong on both models until it’s way off the coast. The Northern and Southern jet do not phase; but what happens is there’s enough energy from both streams to produce some light snow or flurries across the areas on Sunday. The airmass will be very dry so how much snow falls remains to be seen, but “light” is the operative word here. It maybe just a few snow showers.  Areas to the North of the City may not see any snow.  And to think there were outlets forecasting over 10″ of snow a few days ago. FAKE NEWS.

You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Scattered early flurries otherwise, partly sunny, windy and cold. Highs in the mid 30s. Northwest winds at 15-30mph with gusts to 40mph. Wind chills in the 2os.

Tonight:

Mostly clear. Frigid. Lows in the lower 20s in the City, the teens inland. Northwest winds diminishing to 15-25mph. Wind chills in the teens, single digits well inland.

Friday:

Mostly sunny. Cold. Highs around freezing.

Saturday:

Sun to afternoon clouds. Slight chance of late day flurries. Cold. Highs around freezing.

Sunday:

Mostly cloudy. Potential for light snow or snow showers, especially South. Highs around 30º.

Monday:

Partly sunny. Highs in the mid 30s.

Windy Wednesday. Sun & Clouds…

 

Synopsis:

Today will feature a mix of sun and clouds with strong winds. Low pressure will rapidly intensify over New England. At the same time, strong high pressure will be over the Northern Plains. This will cause a tight pressure gradient which will result in strong Northwest winds. Gusts up to 40mph are possible both today and Thursday. Today’s temperatures will be above average but by Thursday January will make it’s presence known. Highs will only be in the 30s with wind chills in the 20s under partly sunny skies.

The Canadian high will move toward the Northeast on Friday. The winds should abate some. It’ll only be near freezing despite the sunshine.

One thing is sure about the weekend-it’ll be cold!  Saturday will start off with sun but clouds will roll in during the afternoon.

Sunday’s storm potential remains low. The latest two models, the GFS and the European both gave into each other a bit. The GFS is farther South from previous runs and the European is farther North and a bit more robust with its precipitation to the South of the region. The storm never becomes strong on both models. The Northern and Southern jet do not look to phase; but what happens is there’s enough energy from both streams to produce some light snow across the areas on Sunday. The airmass will be very dry so how much snow falls remains to be seen, but “light” is the operative word here. We’re 4 days away from the event. Nothing is etched in stone. JMW continues to track and digest the latest guidance.

You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Areas of Dense Fog Into This Evening. Sct’d Showers Tonight…

 

Synopsis:

Areas of dense fog can be expected into tonight as a warm front inches through the area and falls apart. Another shot of scattered rain showers is likely with a second low moving into New England tonight.

Wednesday will be mostly cloudy with strong winds. Low pressure will rapidly intensify over New England. At the same time, strong high pressure will be over the Northern Plains. This will cause a tight pressure gradient which will result in strong Northwest winds. Gusts up to 40mph are possible both Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday temperatures will be above average but by Thursday January will make it’s presence known. Highs will only be in the 30s with wind chills in the 20s under partly sunny skies.

Slick Spots Inland This AM. Light Mix Ends. Cloudy & Mild…

 

Synopsis:

A light mix inland or rain at the coast will end this morning. A light coating of slushy snow/ice is possible North and West. Please use caution on untreated surfaces. Mild air will work in and change any leftover precipitation to light rain during the morning.

Today we’ll be sandwiched between the departing weak low and another weak low heading our way from the West. Skies will remain cloudy and it’ll be mild. Another shot of scattered rain and or snow showers is possible with the a second low moving into New England tonight. This low will be followed by typical January readings as the flow will come out of Canada. Highs for late week will be below average for a change. The average high is 38º.

There has been chatter about a possible storm on Sunday. Some of the models taken verbatim give parts of the area a snowstorm, while other models like the European have a weak system offshore with little if any snowfall. This is 5 days away. Plenty can change, but at this time I’m leaning with the European-meaning little snowfall. This is not etched in stone. Please continue to check back to JMW for the very latest.

Few Snow Showers This Evening. Light Mix Overnight…

 

Synopsis:

A weak low pressure system will approach tonight. Scattered snow showers are possible later this afternoon into the evening. Overnight scattered areas of light snow, mix and rain is likely depending on your location (first map above). This shouldn’t be a big deal. A light coating of slushy snow is possible North and West by sunrise. Mild air will work in and change any leftover precipitation to light rain during the morning commute (2nd map above).

Tuesday we’ll be sandwiched between the departing weak low and another weak low heading our way from the West. Skies will remain cloudy and it’ll be mild. Another shot of scattered rain and or snow showers is possible with the a second low moving into New England Tuesday night. This low will be followed by typical January readings as the flow will come out of Canada. Highs for late week will be below average for a change. The average high is 38º.

Coldest Day in Some Time. A Bit of a Mix Overnight…

 

Synopsis:

High pressure over Eastern Canada will funnel in much colder temperatures today. It’ll be sunny to start but clouds will roll in during the afternoon. Temperatures will finally be seasonal, reaching the mid to upper 30s.  A weak low pressure system will approach tonight. Light rain or snow showers are possible. This shouldn’t be a big deal. A light coating of slushy snow is possible North and West (2nd map above).

Tuesday we’ll be sandwiched between the departing weak low and another weak low heading our way from the West. A few morning showers are possible otherwise it’ll be mostly cloudy and mild. Another shot of scattered rain and or snow showers is possible with the second low Tuesday night. This low will be followed by typical January readings as the flow will come out of Canada. Highs for late week will be seasonal for January. A chill is on the way, but by no means will this be an Arctic blast.

There has been chatter about a possible storm Sunday. At this time, the system looks to stay offshore. This is 6 days away. Plenty can change, but at this time I’m keeping it dry. Please continue to check back to JMW for the very latest.

Clouds to Sun, Windy & Mild…

 

Synopsis:

Clouds will give way to sun today as high pressure begins to influence our weather from Canada. Winds will pick up and readings will still be a several degrees above the average high of the upper 30s.

Monday will be sunny to start but clouds will roll in during the afternoon. Temperatures will finally be seasonal, reaching the mid to upper 30s.  A weak low pressure system will approach Monday night. Light rain or snow showers are possible. This shouldn’t be a big deal.

Tuesday we’ll be sandwiched between the departing weak low and another weak low heading our way from the West. It’ll be mild with highs near 50º. Another shot of scattered rain and or snow showers is possible with the second low Tuesday night. This low will be followed by typical January readings as the flow will finally come out of Canada. Highs for late week will be seasonal for January. A chill is on the way, but by no means will this be an Arctic blast.

There has been chatter about a possible storm next Sunday. At this time the system looks to stay well offshore. This is 7 days away. Plenty can change, but at this time I’m keeping it dry. The wait continues snow lovers.

On & Off Rain Today. Sun Returns Sunday…

 

Synopsis:

A low off the Southern NJ coast early today will move to near Cape Cod by this evening with on and off rain. Most areas will receive close to an inch of rain  something we don’t need. Please use caution traveling. Urban street and highway flooding is possible. A second round of heavier rain looks to develop just to the East of the City this afternoon (map above).

Any rain this evening will taper off and skies will clear.

Partly sunny skies are expected for Sunday along with breezy to windy conditions. Readings will still be a few degrees above the average high of the upper 30s.

A weak low pressure system will approach Monday night. Light rain or snow showers are possible. This shouldn’t be a big deal.

The strong Pacific jet stream continues to dominate. This pattern of no intrusion of Arctic air looks to continue for several more days. It may cool down some midweek next week but it won’t be frigid.  Sorry snow lovers, the wait continues for a substantial snowfall.
