Wet, Cool Start to the Workweek…

 

 

Synopsis:

Strong high pressure over Southeastern Canada will continue to provide a cool flow off the Northern Atlantic. A complex low pressure system will move into and through the region today. This combination will keep on and off rain in the forecast through today. There will be dry times. The rain could come down heavy at times, especially North and West of the City. A Flood Watch remains in effect through today for much of NJ. Total rainfall will range from 1″-3″. The highest totals will be over Northwestern NJ. It’ll be windy at the coast with gusts up to 40mph. The winds will abate later this afternoon. Minor coastal flooding and rough seas are expected through tonight.

Scattered showers and storms are possible on Tuesday as moist flow and weakness remains over the area.

Hurricane Florence continues to rapidly strengthen in the Atlantic well South of Bermuda. Florence will once again become a major hurricane today and Category 4 status or higher is imminent (Winds above 131mph). The models are in very good agreement that the hurricane will move close to the Carolina’s later Thursday into Friday morning. Pinpoint location of possible landfall is a huge question that will need some time to answer.. We’ll continue to track. While we track, please don’t concentrate on the exact line (map above), but rather the yellow cone of uncertainty. The storm looks to stall and spin for possibly a couple of days after this time frame as steering currents in the upper atmosphere are weak to none. Will it be inland or just off the coast? Where this happens is still a important question that needs to be answered. Extreme rainfall amounts are possible where Florence possibly stalls. A major flooding event is possible. You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Periods of rain. There will be dry times. Cool. Windy at the coast. Highs in the upper 60s. East to Northeast winds at 15-25mph with gust  to 40mph at the coast. Winds will abate during the afternoon.

Tonight:

Cloudy. Scattered showers. Becoming humid.  Lows in the 60s throughout. East wind at 5-10mph.

Tuesday:

Mostly cloudy, warmer and more humid. Scattered showers and storms. Highs in the lower 80s.

Wednesday:

Partly sunny, warm and humid. Spotty storms. Highs in the lower to mid 80s.

Thursday:

Partly sunny, warm and humid. Highs in the lower to mid 80s.

Friday:

Feeling Like Mid-October. Periods of Rain…

 

Synopsis:

It’ll feel more like mid October today as Strong high pressure over Southeastern Canada provides a cool flow off the Northern Atlantic. Plenty of moisture will be to our South with a stationary front. This combination will keep rain in the forecast through Monday. Periods of heavy rain may occur later tonight into a part of Monday. A Flood Watch has been posted for much of NJ into Monday. 1″-3″ of rain could fall. The heaviest rainfall will occur North and West of the City. Minor coastal flooding and rough seas are expected through Monday.

Scattered showers and storms are possible on Tuesday. Unsettled times to say the least.

Tropical Storm Florence is churning in the far Atlantic. The storm should regain hurricane strength and has a high chance to become a “major” status-Category 3 or higher hurricane by Monday. Many of today’s models have come in close proximity to the SouthEast coast-Thursday into Friday. We’ll continue to track. The Carolina’s, at this time, have the greatest threat of a strike (map above). Please don’t concentrate on the exact line, but rather the yellow cone of uncertainty. The storm looks to stall and spin for possibly a couple of days after this time frame as steering currents in the upper atmosphere are weak to none. Will it be inland or just off the coast? Where this happens is still a important question that needs to be answered. Extreme rainfall amounts are possible where Florence possibly stalls. You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Cloudy with periods of rain. Fall-like. Highs in the mid 60s. The average high for the date is 78º. Northeast winds at 10-20mph.

Tonight:

Periods of rain. Rain maybe heavy at times inland. Breezy at the coast.  Lows in the upper 50s throughout. Northeast wind at 15-25mph.

Periods of rain. Rain maybe heavy early. Highs in the lower 70s.

Tuesday:

Mostly cloudy, warmer and more humid. Scattered showers and storms. Highs in the lower 80s.

Wednesday:

Partly sunny, warm and humid. Highs in the mid 80s.

Thursday:

Partly sunny, warm and humid. Highs in the mid 80s.

Fall-like Weekend. Spotty Showers Today. Steadier Rain Sunday…

 

Synopsis:

The weekend right now looks much cooler-it’ll be a Fall preview for sure. Strong high pressure over Southeastern Canada will provide a cool flow off the Atlantic. Plenty of moisture will be to our South with a stationary front. This combination will keep skies more grey than bright. There’s a chance of spotty showers this morning. Much of the afternoon should be dry for maybe the exception of Southern NJ.  A swath of moisture will move into the region on Sunday. Intermittent rain in the morning will turn to a steadier rain by afternoon.  Periods of heavy rain may occur later Sunday into a part of Monday. A Flood Watch has been posted for much of NJ into Monday. 1″-3″ of rain could fall.

Scattered showers and storms are possible on Tuesday. Unsettled times to say the least.

Tropical Storm Florence is churning in the far Atlantic. The storm should regain hurricane strength and has a decent chance to become a “major” status-Category 3 or higher hurricane. Many of today’s models have come in close proximity to the SouthEast coast- 6 days from now. It is way too early for any prognostication on the specific track. Focusing on one model run/track is scientifically indefensible. We’ll continue to track. Confidence has grown that the storm will not turn out to sea between Bermuda and the US mainland. The Carolina’s, at this time, have the greatest threat of a strike (map above). You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers in spots this morning. A few peeks of sun are possible this afternoon. Showers may continue over parts of Ocean county throughout the day. Cooler. Highs in the lower to mid 70s. North to Northeast winds at 10-15mph.

Monday:

Periods of rain. Highs in the lower 70s.

Tuesday:

Mostly cloudy, warmer and more humid. Scattered showers and storms. Highs in the lower 80s.

Wednesday:

Partly sunny, warm and humid. Highs in the mid 80s.

Relief has arrived. Mostly cloudy skies are expected today. Scattered showers are possible as the front moves to our South and slows. Readings will only be in the upper 70s (It was in the 90s yesterday). The average high for this date is 79º.

The weekend right now looks much cooler-it’ll be a Fall preview for sure. Strong high pressure over Southeastern Canada will provide a cool flow off the Atlantic. Plenty of moisture will be to our South with a stationary front. This combination will keep skies more grey than bright. There’s a chance of showers Saturday morning, and then again Sunday afternoon-meaning there will be dry times and a bit of sun from time to time. Temperatures will be well below average and could remain in the 60s for highs on Sunday. A far cry from the heat index of 102º today!

The workweek will start off with the threat of rain on Monday as front moves in.

Tropical Storm Florence is churning in the far Atlantic. Many of today’s models have come in proximity to the East coast- 6/7 days from now. It is way too early for any prognostication on the track. Focusing on one model run or any track is scientifically indefensible. We’ll continue to track. You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Scattered Showers/Storms into Tonight. Relief Arrives on Friday…

 

Synopsis:

The bubble of heat that has plagued the area for days will finally depart as a significant cool front works in later this evening and tonight.  Scattered showers and storms are possible into early tonight as the front works toward the region.

Relief will arrive on Friday. Mostly cloudy skies are expected and scattered showers are possible as the front moves to our South and slows. Readings will only be in the upper 70s (It was in the 90s today). The average high for this date is 79º.

It’ll be unsettled as we head into next week.

Hurricane Florence is churning in the far Atlantic. Many of today’s models have come in proximity to the East coast- 7 days from now. It is way too early for any prognostication on the track and for those saying a hit is likely somewhere along the coast, at this time, is simply a discredit to the public.
