Weekend Looking Better. Clouds, Some Sun Today. Chilly, Bright Sunday…

 

Synopsis:

Even though the chill will stick around this weekend the threat of wet snow or rain is over. A front and storm developing near the Outer Banks of North Carolina tonight will track far enough to the East to spare the area of precipitation. Sunday will be cold but at least the sun will shine as high pressure moves in from the Midwest.

It definitely won’t feel like Spring though early next week. There is another chance of a bit of wet snow or rain late Tuesday. This looks like a non event.

Looking down the pike a warmup may occur late next week into the following weekend.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Mostly cloudy. The sun may make an appearance this afternoon. Highs in the mid to upper 40s. Northwest winds at 10-15mph.

Tonight:

Clouds will give way to clearing skies late tonight. Lows around freezing in the City, the 20s inland. North winds at 10-15mph.

Sunday:

Mostly sunny, chilly and breezy. Highs in the lower to mid 40s.

Monday:

Partly sunny. Highs in the mid 40s.

Tuesday:

Mostly cloudy with wet snow or rain showers. Highs in the mid to upper 40s.

Wednesday:

Partly sunny. Highs in the lower 50s.

AM Snow/Rain Shower. AM Wet Snow/Rain South of City Saturday. No Biggie…

 

Synopsis:

A very active early April pattern will be with us for the next week. Rapidly changing weather conditions are expected with a roller coaster ride in temperatures.

A weak storm will move from the Great Lakes into Southeastern Canada today. A few rain or snow showers are expected in this morning. A dusting of snow is possible well North and West. Mostly cloudy for the remainder of the day. It will be breezy.

The potential for accumulating wet snow or a mix has decreased dramatically for the area on Saturday. The latest computer models have an area of low pressure and front along the East coast on Saturday. The system now looks to be just far enough offshore that the threat of accumulating wet snow has decreased. That’s not to say that a lighter wet snow or mix won’t fall. The precipitation should fall mainly to the South of the City and during the morning. Some sun is expected during the afternoon.

It definitely won’t feel like Spring though early next week. There is another chance of a bit of wet snow or a mix late Monday into Tuesday. This also looks minor at this time.

Looking down the pike a warmup may occur late next week into the following weekend.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Scattered morning snow showers and rain showers, otherwise mostly cloudy. Highs in the mid 50s. South to Southwest winds at 15-25mph.

Tonight:

Mostly cloudy with areas of light rain. Lows in the mid 30s throughout the area. West to Northwest winds at 8-12mph.

Saturday:

Chance of wet snow and or rain mainly South of the City during the morning. Late day sun. Highs in the mid 40s.

Sunday:

Mostly sunny. Highs in the lower to mid 40s.

Monday:

Mostly cloudy with scattered flurries. Highs in the mid 40s.

Tuesday:

Mostly cloudy with light wet snow or rain for a time. Highs in the mid 40s.

Chilled Sunshine Today. Eyes on Low Potential Saturday Snow…

 

Synopsis:

A very active early April pattern will be with us for the next week. Rapidly changing weather conditions are expected with a roller coaster ride in temperatures.

Today will feature sunshine but chilly readings with highs only in the mid to upper 40s as high pressure moves in. On Friday a weak storm will move from the Great Lakes into Southeastern Canada. A few rain or snow showers are expected in the morning.

The potential for significant wet snow or a mix has decreased for the area on Saturday. The latest computer models have an area of low pressure and front along the East coast on Saturday. The system now looks to be just far enough offshore that the threat of accumulating significant wet snow has decreased. That’s not to say that a lighter wet snow or mix won’t fall.  This is the latest trend. Let’s hope a push to the Northwest doesn’t happen. I not writing this push back to the coast off entirely. Stay tuned.

Today:

Mostly sunny and colder. Highs in the mid to upper 40s. West to Northwest winds at 15-25mph.

Tonight:

Clear early, increasing clouds late. Lows in the mid 30s in the City, the 20s inland. Northwest to Southwest winds at 5mph.

Friday:

Scattered morning snow showers and rain showers, otherwise mostly cloudy. Highs in the mid 50s.

Saturday:

Chance of wet snow and or rain. Highs in the lower 40s.

Sunday:

Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 40s.

Monday:

Sun giving way to increasing clouds. Highs in the mid 40s.

Spot Shower Into Late Afternoon. Windy and Colder Tonight…

 

Synopsis:

A very active early April pattern will be with us for the next week. Rapidly changing weather conditions are expected with a roller coaster ride in temperatures.

A cold front has passed through the area Wednesday afternoon. Any showers will end by late day. The big story will be the wind. Gusts 40-50mph are possible. High Wind Warnings and Advisories are up for the tri-state area. The winds will begin to diminish tonight. Much colder air from Canada will move in. Readings will be at or below freezing overnight.

Thursday feature sunshine but chilly readings with highs only in the mid to upper 40s. On Friday a weak storm will move from the Great Lakes into Southeastern Canada. A few rain or snow showers are expected in the morning.

The potential for wet snow or a mix has increased for the area on Saturday. The latest computer models have an area of low pressure and front along the East coast on Saturday. The system is stronger and is more moisture laden and there is just enough cold air to support wet snow. If the majority of the wet snow falls before the April sun angle gets to high on Saturday a decent accumulation could result. Something none of us want to hear.

Stay tuned.

 

Tonight:

Clear, windy and much colder. Lows around freezing in the City, the 20s inland. West to Northwest winds at 15-30mph with gusts to 50mph early this evening. Winds will diminish overnight.

Thursday:

Mostly sunny and colder. Highs in the mid to upper 40s. West to Northwest winds at 15-25mph.

Friday:

Scattered morning snow showers and rain showers, otherwise mostly cloudy. Highs in the mid 50s.

Saturday:

Chance of wet snow and or rain. Highs in the lower 40s.

Sunday:

Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 40s.

Monday:

Sun giving way to increasing clouds. Highs in the mid 40s.

AM Fog. Warmer, Windy Wednesday. Midday Storm…

 

Synopsis:

A very active early April pattern will be with us for the next week. Rapidly changing weather conditions are expected with a roller coaster ride in temperatures.

A warm front this morning over Central NJ will cause areas of morning fog and drizzle. The front may have a hard time moving North of the immediate NYC vicinity. Those areas that get into the warm sector will pop into the 60s. It will become windy ahead and behind the cold front. Gusts of 40-60mph are possible. High Wind Warnings and Advisories are up for the tri-state area. Thunderstorms may accompany the front that will move in from midday to mid afternoon. It will not be a washout with the sun returning during the afternoon.

Much colder readings will greet us on Thursday with readings only rising into the 40s.

The latest computer models have an area of low pressure and front along the East coast on Saturday possibly affecting the region with a period of wet snow and or rain. The potential has increased some. At this time, it looks like the majority of the precipitation will fall during the day. How much, if any snow, will stick with the very high April sun angle. The snow of a couple days ago mainly fell at night. The sun had no affect on melting, hence the accumulating snow. This time around the high sun angle may play a huge part.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Areas of AM fog. Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and possibly a thunderstorm. It will not be raining all the time, in fact much of the day will be dry. Windy and warm. Highs in the 50s to the North, 60s from NYC and to the South. Southwest to West winds at 15-30mph with gusts to 40-60mph.

Tonight:

Clear, windy and much colder. Lows around freezing in the City, the 20s inland. West to Northwest winds at 15-30mph with gusts to 50mph early this evening. Winds will diminish overnight.

Thursday:

Partly sunny and colder. Highs in the mid 40s.

Friday:

Morning snow showers, otherwise mostly cloudy with scattered rain showers during the day. Highs in the lower to mid 50s.

Saturday:

Chance of wet snow and or rain. Highs in the lower 40s.

Sunday:

Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 40s.

First the Snow, Now the Rain…

 

Synopsis:

Unfortunately, the weather still doesn’t want to cooperate for the Yankees home opener today as a warm front will move toward the area with periods of rain developing from midday on. The game is scheduled for 4pm.

A very active early April pattern will be with us for the next week. Rapidly changing weather conditions are expected with a roller coaster ride in temperatures.

Once the warm front moves North on Wednesday readings should soar well into the 60s to near 70º. It will become windy ahead and behind the cold front that will be moving in Wednesday afternoon. Thunderstorms may accompany the front.

Much colder readings will greet us on Thursday with readings only rising into the 40s.

There has been chatter about a storm for this weekend. At this time, the latest computer models have the system offshore not affecting us. I am not completely discounting the threat of the low affecting us.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Cloudy with periods of rain developing from midday on. Highs in the mid to upper 40s. East winds at 8-12mph.

Tonight:

Cloudy with spotty showers and areas of fog. Temperatures will actually rise through the 40s and into the 50s late. East winds becoming Southwest at 5-10mph.

Wednesday:

Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Windy and warm. Highs in the mid 60s to around 70º to the South.

Thursday:

Partly sunny and colder. Highs in the mid 40s.

Friday:

Partly sunny. More seasonal. Highs in the lower to mid 50s.

Saturday:

Partly sunny. Chilly. Highs in the mid 40s.

April Snow Tapers Off This Morning. Some Sun This Afternoon…

 

Synopsis:

This was the most significant April snowfall for much of the tri-state area since 1982. In the vicinity of the City and nearby suburbs 3″-6″+ accumulated on colder surfaces. The Yankees home opener has been postponed. Ironically, the Yankees home opener in 1982 was postponed because of a rare April blizzard. The snow will taper off this morning from West to East as the area of low pressure moves farther out to sea. Some sun is possible later today and the rapid snowmelt will begin.

A very active early April pattern will be with us for the next week. Rapidly changing weather conditions are expected with a roller coaster ride in temperatures.

A warm front will move toward the area Tuesday with periods of rain. Once the warm front moves North on Wednesday readings should soar well into the 60s to near 70º.

Another cold front will move through Wednesday night with readings only in the 40s on Thursday.

There has been chatter about a storm for this weekend. At this time, the latest computer models have the system offshore not affecting us. I am not completely discounting the threat of the low affecting us.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Snow will taper off from West to East this morning. Highs in the mid to upper 40s. Northeast to West winds at 5-10mph.

Tonight:

Mostly cloudy. Lows in the upper 30s in the City, near freezing inland. Light and variable winds.

Tuesday:

Cloudy with periods of rain. Highs around 50º.

Wednesday:

Mostly cloudy with showers. warm. Highs in the mid 60s to around 70º over Southern areas.

Thursday:

Partly sunny and colder. Highs in the mid 40s.

Friday:

Partly sunny. More seasonal. Highs in the lower to mid 50s.

Quick Hitting April Snow Late Tonight-Monday AM…

 

Synopsis:

A rapidly moving ripple of low pressure will move from Northern Virginia tonight to well off the NJ coast by midday Monday. This will cause an April snowfall for most of the tri-state area. Snow will develop after midnight tonight and continue into the morning hours on Monday. The snow could be mixed with rain at the coast and in the City. Much of the snow will at night and early morning so the high April sun angle will not factor into the equation but the warm ground from the 60º readings on Easter will make it difficult for the snow to stick on the streets, especially in urban areas. An accumulation is expected on grassy and colder surfaces (map above). The streets will have a much lower total. The snow will end from West to East during the mid to late morning. The sun will return by afternoon.

A very active early April pattern will be with us for the next ten days. Rapidly changing weather conditions are expected with a roller coaster ride in temperatures.

Stay tuned.

Tonight:

Thickening clouds. Snow developing after midnight. The snow could be mixed with rain, especially over coastal and Southern sections. Lows in the mid 30s in the City, near freezing inland. Northeast winds at 8-12mph.

Monday:

A few hours of morning snow (mixed with rain in spots), otherwise becoming mostly sunny and chilly. Highs in the mid to upper 40s. Northeast to West winds at 5-10mph.

Tuesday:

Cloudy with periods of rain. Highs around 50º.

Wednesday:

Mostly cloudy with showers. warm. Highs in the mid 60s to around 70º over Southern areas.

Thursday:

Partly sunny and colder. Highs in the mid 40s.

Friday:

Partly sunny. More seasonal. Highs in the lower to mid 50s.

Weather Cooperates for Easter. Some Snow Tonight-Monday AM…

Synopsis:

The weather will cooperate for Easter. A cool front will move through the area this morning with clouds. The sun will return soon after and it’ll be very mild.

The latest computer models continue to bring a rapidly moving ripple of low pressure just to the South of the City tonight and Monday morning. At this time the potential for some snow continues to increase. The snow could be mixed with rain at the coast and in the City. Much of the snow will at night and early morning so the high April sun angle will not factor into the equation but the warm ground from the 60º readings on Easter will make it difficult for the snow to stick on the streets, especially in urban areas. Could a few slushy inches of snow on grassy or colder surfaces? Yes. First call snow amounts are above. The sun will return by midday Monday so any snow will melt by sunset.

A very active early April pattern will be with us for the next ten days. Rapidly changing weather conditions are expected with a roller coaster ride in temperatures.

Stay tuned.

Easter Sunday:

Clouds to sun. Mild. Highs around 60º. Southwest to Northwest winds at 10-15mph.

Tonight:

Thickening clouds. Snow developing after midnight. The snow could be mixed with rain, especially over coastal and Southern sections. Lows in the mid 30s in the City, near freezing inland. Northeast winds at 8-12mph.

A few hours of morning snow (mixed with rain in spots), otherwise becoming mostly sunny and chilly. Highs in the mid to upper 40s.

Tuesday:

Cloudy with periods of rain. Highs around 50º.

Wednesday:

Mostly cloudy with showers. warm. Highs in the mid 60s to around 70º over Southern areas.

Thursday:

Partly sunny and colder. Highs in the mid 40s.

Tranquil Holiday Weekend. Threat of Some Snow Sunday Night-Monday AM…

 

Synopsis:

The Holiday Weekend is looking good with a decent amount of sunshine and pleasant readings as high pressure moves in. A cool front will move through Easter Sunday morning uneventful.

The latest computer models bring a rapidly moving ripple of low pressure just to the South of the City Sunday Night and Monday morning. At this time there is a threat of a few hours of snow. The computer models continue to show this feature, so my confidence has increased some. Also, if the snow materializes (rain could be mixed with the snow at the coast) it will fall mainly at night so the high April sun angle will not factor into the equation. Could a few slushy inches of snow on grassy or colder surfaces? Yes. The sun will return by midday Monday so any snow will melt by sunset.

A very active early April pattern will be with us for the next ten days. Rapidly changing weather conditions are expected.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Mostly sunny. Pleasant. Highs in the upper 50s. North to South winds at 5-10mph.

Tonight:

Clear early with increasing clouds late. Lows around 40º in the City, the 30s inland. South to Southwest winds at 5-10mph.

Easter Sunday:

Partly sunny. Highs in the mid 50s.

Monday:

Low threat of a few hours of morning snow (mixed with rain in spots), otherwise mostly sunny and chilly. Highs in the mid to upper 40s.

Tuesday:

Cloudy with periods of rain. Highs around 50º.

Wednesday:

Mostly cloudy with showers. Mild. Highs in the upper 50s.
