Light snow will continue most of the day but most of the amounts will be on the light side with not much if any right along the coast, and inch around the Clifton area and 2-3″ inland across Morris, western Passaic and Sussex counties with up to 4″ in Northeast Pennsylvania. The snow will taper off this evening. Chilly but dry weather into Friday and then a warming trend starts on the weekend although there will be plenty of clouds around. Quite mild into the middle of next week…

Enjoy this little November snow!

Quiet weather for Monday before a little light snow on Tuesday!


Today we will have some early morning clouds then become mostly sunny, it will feel more pleasant than the weekend as the temperature will be a few degrees milder with much less wind. The system moving through on Tuesday will give us some morning light snow that will mix with rain in the afternoon before ending as a little light snow and flurries at night, the system is not all that strong and will move quickly through the area so only minor accumulations are expected with about an inch or two mostly on colder surfaces. Mainly dry and chilly weather the rest of the week before we get milder on the weekend with some showers possible. Next week still looks mild, in fact temperatures on Monday may approach 60 degrees.

The forecast:
Today – Mostly sunny, high in the upper 40s.
Tonight – Becoming cloudy with a chance of snow after midnight, low in the low 30s.
Tuesday – Cloudy with light snow in the morning, mixing with rain in the afternoon and changing back to light snow or flurries before ending in the evening, high in the upper 30s.
Wednesday – Mostly cloudy in the morning then becoming partly sunny, high near 40.
Thursday – Partly sunny, high near 40
Friday – Partly sunny, high again around 40.
Saturday – Mostly cloudy, high in the mid-upper 40s.
Sunday – Mostly cloudy and milder, high in the low 50s.

Marine forecast: Today – West-northwest wind to 13 knots, seas 2 feet.
Only chance of advisory level winds and seas would be Wednesday and Wednesday night, otherwise good boating conditions the rest of the week.

Have a good day! Big win last night for the Giants!!!

Cool and breezy Sunday, some snow likely Tuesday!


Below normal temperatures will continue today and it will be breezy but not as windy as yesterday, plenty of cloudiness especially in the afternoon.. More sun on Monday with temperatures rising a couple of degrees.. The system that is going to affect us from around Tuesday morning into Tuesday night will give us mostly light snow and at this time my guess of snow amounts is around 2-3″. Cool weather will prevail through Friday before a milder trend begins next weekend and continues into at least the middle of next week.

The forecast:
Today – Partly sunny this morning then becoming mostly cloudy, highs in the low 40s.
Tonight – Partly cloudy and cold low in the upper 20s.
Monday – Sunny, high in the mid 40s.
Tuesday and Tuesday night – Cloudy with snow likely, high in the upper 30s. Accumulation 2-3″.
Wednesday – Mostly cloudy, high in the low 40s.
Thursday – Mostly sunny, high in the low 40s.
Friday – Mostly sunny, high around 40.
Saturday – Partly sunny, high in the mid-upper 40s.
Sunday – Mostly sunny, high in the low 50s.

Marine Forecast: Small craft advisory until late this afternoon; Today – West winds gusting to 30 knots, seas up to 4 feet.
Outlook: Sub-advisory level winds and seas on Monday but will advisories will likely be needed later on Tuesday through Thursday as the storm system moves through the ocean waters.

Have a great day: And go Giants, beat those Packers tonight!

Chilly and windy weekend, watching potential storm for Tuesday into Wednesday!


A cold front came through shortly after midnight bringing in colder air and gusty northwest winds, temperatures will not rise much today with highs in the 40s slowly dropping into the 30s by sunset, wind gusts to 35 mph are likely along with a scattered snow flurry especially inland.
It will stay windy and chilly on Sunday with winds diminishing by night. Monday looks quiet and dry ahead of a storm system that will affect the area on Tuesday and Wednesday. The computer models are not in much agreement right now but have been trending to a colder solution which would mean a possible accumulating snow event for the area especially inland. Dry and cool weather at the end of next week with a warming trend still indicated for the first week of December.

The forecast:
Today – Sunny this morning then partly cloudy, windy with a chance of snow flurries, highs in the low 40s dropping off to the 30s by sunset, wind gusts to 35 mph.
Tonight – Mostly cloudy with scattered flurries in the evening then mostly clear, cold with lows in the mid 20s.
Sunday – Mostly sunny in the morning, mostly cloudy in the afternoon, breezy, highs in the low 40s.

Tuesday – Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain and snow, high in the low 40s.
Wednesday – Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain and snow, high in the low 40s.
Thursday and Friday – Mostly sunny, highs in the low 40s.

Marine Forecast: Gale warning through late tonight: Northwest winds gusting to 35 knots, seas up to 6 feet..
Outlook: Small craft advisories still will be needed for Sunday and may lower by Monday but may again be needed for the potential storm on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Have a great Saturday!
