We have clear skies at 6am in the Clifton area and temperatures have fallen to 10 degrees, inland readings are in the single digits and with winds gusting to 30 mph is bringing wind chills to well below zero so bundle up.

Today will continue have very cold and windy conditions with highs only a few degrees above the 20 degree mark and with the winds it again will make it feel much colder.  Diminishing winds by this evening and overnight lows will be about 5-10 higher than this morning’s low.

Skies will become cloudy on Sunday and it will be noticeably less cold and windy with highs in the 30s.

A storm system will move from the southeast states to off our coast on Monday, snow should start in our area in the late evening on Sunday and continue on Monday, the precipitation may mix with sleet and freezing rain during the day Monday before changing back to all snow which will end by evening, accumulations of 8-12 inches can be expected, the lower amounts will happen if we have more of a mix.

After the storm’s passage it will become very cold with temperatures on Tuesday morning may approach zero with daytime highs only in the low 20s.

Not as cold on Wednesday and it will be dry, however we do have a low chance of some more light snow Wednesday night into Thursday as a cold front moves through the area.

Fair and again very cold on Friday.

Some very light snow is falling at 6am this morning in the Clifton area, temperatures are milder than yesterday morning with a 30 degree reading in Clifton ranging to the mid 20s in colder inland spots, winds are light, overnight accumulation is about an inch.

This morning we will have periods of light snow or flurries with little or no additional accumulation.  Skies will clear this afternoon but it will become very windy and much colder, late morning highs in the 30s will fall to 20 degrees by late this afternoon and with the winds it will feel that much colder.

Tonight will be bitterly cold with lows by Saturday morning in the single digits and with winds gusting to 40 mph will help bring wind chill values to -10 or lower, a wind advisory along with a wind chill advisory is in effect for our area.

Saturday will be a sunny day but very cold and windy, winds will die down by late in the afternoon.

Dry most of the day on Sunday with a slight moderation in temperature.

Now to the next storm, computer models have become in better agreement and now most are indicating a significant snowstorm for our area starting late Sunday night and continuing on Monday, my first guess in accumulations are in the 6-10 inch range, of course that will probably change as we get closer to the event.

Dry but frigid on Tuesday.

Watching for the potential of another storm for late Wednesday into Thursday.

At 6am this morning the temperature in Clifton is in the low teens, further inland some below zero readings with Walpack, NJ reporting a frigid temperature of -7 degrees, skies are mostly clear and the winds are light.

Today we will have increasing cloudiness, high temperatures will be similar to yesterday.

Light snow will develop late tonight and end Friday morning as a weak clipper system moves through our area. Expect 1-2 inches of accumulation.

The storm will be followed by clearing skies on Friday with rapidly falling temperatures, readings in the low 30s during the late morning will fall to around 20 by sunset and with winds gusting to 35 mph will bring wind chill values below zero.

Saturday will be very cold but we will have plenty of sunshine, early morning temperatures will be in the single digits.

Partly sunny and not as cold on Super Bowl Sunday but a stronger low pressure system is expected to give us a good chance of snow late at night.

The computer models are still not agreeing with how much snow we may get on Monday with the American model showing a possible 6-10 inch snowfall while the European model only indicating an inch or two as it has the storm moving too far south to give us significant snow, so again stay tuned.

Dry and frigid on Tuesday.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – Increasing cloudiness, high in the low 30s.

TONIGHT – Light snow developing late tonight, low in the mid 20s.

FRIDAY – Light snow ending by 9am with total accumulations of 1-2 inches, clearing during the day, late morning highs in the low 30s dropping to near 20 by sunset, winds increasing with gusts to 35 mph possible.

Skies are clear at 6am this Wednesday morning and temperatures have fallen to the low teens in the Clifton area to some single digits in some areas of Northwest New Jersey, winds are a little brisk from the northwest making it feel even colder.

Today we will have plenty of sunshine along with breezy conditions, high temperatures will be in the upper 20s.

Most of Thursday will be dry with less wind and high temperatures a couple of degrees higher than today.

A weak low pressure area will move across the area Thursday night into Friday morning that could give us about an inch of snow.  Friday will start out a little milder during the day but temperatures will plummet Friday night along with strong winds.

It will be frigid during Saturday with slowly diminishing winds.

Now to the next storm that will likely affect the area Sunday night into Monday and of course the computer models are again not in agreement with the American model (GFS) indicating snow changing to rain while the European model shows a colder solution with all snow that would be significant.  Right now I am leaning toward the European model and that would mean that this area could have snowfall of six inches or more.

Clearing and frigid on Tuesday.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – Sunny and breezy, high in the upper 20s.

TONIGHT – Mostly clear, low around 10.

THURSDAY – Increasing cloudiness, high in the low 30s, light snow likely by midnight.

MARINE FORECAST:  Small craft advisory in effect till 6pm today for northwest winds gusting to 30 knots, seas 5-8 feet.

Have a good day!

At 6am we have light snow falling in the Clifton area, temperatures are in the upper teens, winds are from the north gusting to 20 mph, accumulation of snow is around 5 inches.

Well it appears that the American model (GFS) was more correct than the trusted European as the worst part of the storm will end up about 100 miles east of what was indicated by that European model and most forecasters, me included, maybe we should of used the “shower curtain” model.   However there was an intense storm but most of the real heavy snowfall is over Eastern Long Island and Eastern New England where accumulations will be over two feet.

Today we will have periods of mainly light snow with additional accumulations of around three inches, less to our west and more to our east.  The snow will taper off later this afternoon and end this evening, temperatures will be cold and winds will continue from the north gusting to 30 mph.

Wednesday will be dry with quite cold temperatures.

A weak storm system will likely give us some light snow Thursday afternoon into early Friday morning with an inch or two of accumulation, sunshine returns Friday afternoon

At this time the weekend looks dry and cold.

Another possible storm may affect the area on Monday.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – Snow with some blowing snow, windy with gusts to 30 mph, highs in the upper 20s, additional accumulation of around 3 inches.

TONIGHT – Light snow ending, low in the upper 20s.

WEDNESDAY – Mostly cloudy in the morning then becoming mostly sunny, high in the upper 20s.

THURSDAY – Increasing clouds with snow likely in the afternoon and evening, accumulations 1-2 inches, high in the low 30s.

FRIDAY – Chance of morning light snow then becoming mostly sunny, high in the low 30s.

SATURDAY – Mostly sunny and quite cold, high in the low 20s.

SUNDAY – Partly sunny, high in the upper 20s.

MONDAY – Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow, high near 30.

MARINE FORECAST:  Gale warnings are in effect for northwest winds gusting to 40 knots, seas 9-14.

OUTLOOK – Small craft advisory likely on Wednesday with no advisories expected Wednesday night and Thursday, gales possible on Friday.

Have a good day!
