Synopsis:

A bitter blast will be with us through the end of the year as the gates are open for Arctic air to spill into the nation as strong high pressure moves in from Canada. Readings will be below freezing through the weekend with overnight lows in the single digits and teens.

The only chance of seeing any flakes the next five days will be on Saturday. A low will form well off the coast. This system in conjunction with a disturbance in the upper atmosphere will cause a few snow showers or a period of light snow. This will not be a big deal and will be a quick hitter- lasting maybe 3 to 6 hours. A dusting to 2″ is possible (highest amounts over Long Island).

As stated, the bitter cold will stick around through New Year’s Day. At least it’ll be tranquil.

The weather at the stroke of Midnight New Year’s Eve will be dangerously cold. The temperature will be 13º with wind chills at 0º to -5º.

Stay tuned.

Today:

More clouds than sun. Very cold.  Highs in the lower to mid 20s. Northwest winds at 8-12mph. Wind chills in the teens.

Tonight:

Partly cloudy. Frigid. Lows in the upper teens in the City, the single digits inland. Northwest winds 5mph.

Saturday:

Mostly cloudy. A period of light snow or snow showers is likely for a few hours.  Highs in the mid 20s.

New Year’s Eve:

Mostly sunny. Frigid. Highs around 20º.

New Year’s Day:

Mostly sunny, windy and bitterly cold.  Highs only in the teens.

Tuesday:

Sunny and cold  Highs in the lower 20s.

Synopsis:

A bitter blast will be with us through the end of the year as the gates are open for Arctic air to spill into the nation as strong high pressure moves in from Canada. The map above depicts the highs for the nation today. Readings will be below freezing through the weekend with overnight lows in the single digits and teens.

Now on to the second story-the snow potential. The models haven’t been in agreement at all as to where and when a low will setup. I’m following the most consistent model the last couple of days-the European. This model has shown a developing storm offshore of the Mid-Atlantic for many runs now. Where the low actually develops and how the upper level low interacts is still a toss up. It looks right now, that it’ll develop too far offshore for any significant snow, I’m including a potential of light snow for Saturday. Again, this is not etched in stone.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Mostly sunny. Very cold.  Highs in the mid 20s. Northwest wind at 10-15mph.

Tonight:

Partly cloudy. Frigid. Lows in the lower teens in the City, the single digits inland. West to Northwest wind at 8-12mph. Wind chills below zero.

Thursday:

Mostly sunny. Very cold.  Highs in the lower to mid 20s.

Synopsis:

Much colder times are on the this week as the gates are open for Arctic air to spill into the nation as strong high pressure moves in from Canada. The map above depicts the highs for the nation today. Readings will be below freezing through Friday with overnight lows in the single digits and teens.

There has been chatter about a storm for late week or this weekend. The models are still all over the place as to placement and timing. A storm mostly likely will be on the map. Where it sets up and goes from there is hard to pinpoint. It looks right now that it’ll develop too far offshore for any significant snow, I’m including a potential of light snow for Saturday as it may be close enough to graze the area. Again, this is not etched in stone.

Stay tuned.

Synopsis:

Areas North and West of the City are experiencing a white Christmas. A dusting to 3″ of snow was reported in spots. Elsewhere, we’ll have to wait at least another year. The low that was responsible for the precipitation is bombing off the New England coast. The result will be very strong winds out of the West gusting up to 50mph today. Temperatures will remain steady in the 30s under mostly sunny skies.

Synopsis:

Ahead of the approaching cold front, balmy readings are expected with periods of rain today. Well North and East of the City the cold air will hang tough. The cold front will move through tonight. Sunday will be partly sunny and cooler.

Now on to Christmas Eve Night and early Christmas morning. A low will form off the Mid-Atlantic coast. It looks as though (with the latest computer guidance) that the developing storm will form to0 far North and East to be a big player. A bit of light snow or snow showers is possible, especially from the City North and West. If an inch falls by Christmas morning it will be considered a “White Christmas”. The potential is there for a light snowfall of maybe 1″-3″over Northwestern NJ and into lower NY State through interior CT.  At the coast and to the South the chances are quite low and some areas may not have a whitening of the ground Christmas morning.

Much colder times are on the way for next week. There has been chatter about a storm late in the week or next weekend. A storm mostly likely will be on the map. Where it sets up and goes from there is anybody’s guess.

Stay tuned..

Today:

Cloudy with periods of rain. Turning warmer from the City and to the South. Highs in the 50s. The 40s and 30s North and East. East to Southwest winds at 5-10mph.

Synopsis:

A warm up will begin today, the first full day of Winter, as the high slips off the coast and the return flow brings up milder air. Skies will be cloudy. A spot shower can’t be ruled out. Well to the North (on the cold side of the warm front) a bit of wet snow/sleet and rain will fall. FutureCast radar above shows the mix.

On Saturday, ahead of the approaching cold front, balmy readings are expected with scattered showers In fact, Saturday’s highs will feel more like Spring getting into the 50s. The cold front will move through Saturday night. Sunday will be partly sunny and cooler.

Now on to Christmas Eve Night and early Christmas morning. A low will form off the Mid-Atlantic coast. It looks as though (with the latest computer guidance) that the developing storm will form to0 far North and East to be a big player. A bit of light snow or snow showers is possible. If an inch falls by Christmas morning it will be considered a “White Christmas”. Again, it’s not looking like a big deal, but the chance of a White Christmas is there!

Stay tuned..

Synopsis:

Winter arrives today at 11:28AM. That is when the sun’s direct rays are over the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5º South latitude. It is the shortest amount of daylight of the year. The change of season will be fairly uneventful as high pressure dominates in Eastern Canada.

A warm up will begin tomorrow as the high slips off the coast and the return flow brings up milder air. On Saturday a warm front will move through with showers and balmy readings. In fact, Saturday’s highs will feel more like Spring getting well into the 50s. A cold front will move through Saturday night. Sunday will be partly sunny and cooler.

After this time frame, it does get interesting for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. An area of low pressure may develop close enough to give the region some precipitation. Will it be cold enough for snow? Will there be enough precipitation or will the storm form to far North and East to be a big player. How will it all play out? At this time I’m leaning toward the developing storm to be close enough to give the region some rain and or wet snow overnight Christmas Eve into Christmas morning.

Stay tuned..

Today:

Mostly sunny and chilly. Highs around 40º. North to Northwest winds at 5mph.

Tonight:

Becoming mostly cloudy. Lows in the lower to mid 30s in the City, the 20’s inland. Northwest to East winds less than 5mph.

Friday:

Mostly cloudy. Milder. A few showers possible. Highs in the 40s.

Saturday:

Cloudy with showers. Balmy. Highs in the upper 50s.

Christmas Eve:

Sun and clouds. Cooler. Highs in the mid 40s.

Christmas Day:

Morning rain or snow. Some afternoon sun.  Highs in the mid 30s.

Synopsis:

A cool down will occur today and Thursday as high pressure ridges in from Southern Canada. Today is the last day of Fall and it’ll be tranquil. Winter arrives Thursday at 11:28AM. The change of season will be fairly uneventful.

Looking down the pike. Temperatures will be above average Friday into the weekend. In fact, Saturday’s highs will feel more like Spring. Highs will approach 60º with showers.

After this time frame it does get interesting. The jet stream will be active and there is a decent amount of cold air just to our North for Christmas Day. There has been mayhem with the models on whether it’ll be a balmy Christmas or one that could be cold and possibly white. As of this writing, and looking at the latest computer guidance, it looks like the cold front will move through the area. An area of low pressure may develop close enough to give the region some precipitation. Will it be cold enough for snow? Will there be enough precipitation or will the storm form to far North and East to be a big player. How will it all play out?

Stay tuned.

Today:

Partly sunny, breezy and cooler. Highs in the lower to mid 40s. Northwest winds at 10-20mph.
