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.

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.

Stay tuned.

Tonight:

Areas of dense fog early otherwise cloudy with scattered showers. Lows in the 30s throughout. SouthWest to West winds at 5-10mph increasing to 15-25mph by daybreak.

Wednesday:

Mostly cloudy and windy. Highs in the mid 40s. West to Northwest winds at 15-30mph with gusts to 40mph.

Thursday:

Partly sunny, windy and cold. Highs in the mid 30s.

Friday:

Mostly sunny. Cold. Highs around freezing.

Saturday:

Sun to afternoon clouds. Cold. Highs around freezing.

Sunday:

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

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Synopsis:

It’ll feel more like January today as high pressure over the plains supplies colder air from Canada. Winds will diminish with a mix of sun and clouds.

A weak low off Virginia along with upper level energy moving through the area Thursday morning will spark a few rain or snow showers. This won’t be a big deal. Another high will move in Thursday into Friday resulting in sunny and above average temperatures.

The models continue to show a low developing over the Ohio Valley on Friday. The upper low associated with the storm is in slow mode. Rain is not expected now until Saturday. The low will move over the region and into Eastern New England later Saturday. The strong Pacific jet stream continues to dominate and there is no supply of cold air, hence the rain and not snow.

2018 will be know as-the year it rained. It was the 4th wettest year on record with 65.52″ of rain at Central Park!  The average rainfall for the year is 49.94″. Records go back to 1869.

This pattern of no intrusion of Arctic air looks to continue for the first ten days of January. Sorry snow lovers, the wait continues.
