Dry weather returns for Wednesday and Thursday and it will be a little cooler.

Watching for a potential coastal storm for Friday, right now the GFS model has the storm well out to sea with no effects to our area while the European is closer to the coast which would possibly give us some snow, at this time we will keep the forecast dry.

Good weather for digging out from the historic blizzard! Mainly dry weather with seasonably cool temperatures this week!


Skies are mostly clear early on the Sunday morning and temperatures range from the upper teens here in Clifton to near 10 in the colder suburbs, winds are from the north around 10 mph.  Total snowfall in Clifton was 20 inches with higher amounts to over two feet recorded in many areas, Newark Airport recorded 28 inches.   Most of the Poconos and the Hudson Valley escaped the heavy snow with only a few inches falling.

The storm that produced the blizzard is now moving well off the coast and high pressure is building in, today we will see plenty of sunshine with diminishing winds, high temperatures will be slightly below normal.

Tomorrow will also be a sunny day with seasonably cool temperatures.

A weak cold front will pass our area on Tuesday giving us a chance of light rain, temperatures will rise into the  40s.

Dry weather is expected Wednesday through the Saturday,  temperatures will be near seasonable Wednesday and Friday, slightly below normal on Thursday and above normal next weekend.

Massive blizzard may give some areas two feet of snow! Snow ends late tonight with clearing on Sunday!


Moderate to heavy snow is falling early on this Saturday morning and the winds are picking up gusting to 30 mph creating low visibilities, temperatures range from the low 20s in Clifton to the upper teens further inland.

The intensifying storm is now off the North Carolina coast and it will slowly move northeast off the coast, snow from the system will continue today and tonight with blizzard conditions likely as winds gust up to 40 mph which will cause considerable drifting of the snow.  Heavy snow bands with snowfall rates of two inches or more an hour will be moving into our area later this morning and this afternoon.  I increased the snow total to an average of 18 inches with some areas where the intense snow bands set up may see two feet or even more of snow.  There is a chance of some thundersnow also in some of these heavier bands.  Snow will be less across the Hudson Valley and extreme Northwest New Jersey and along the Southeast New Jersey coast where sleet and rain could mix in.  The snow will taper off tonight and end by midnight.

Sunday will be a good day to dig out of the snow as we will see sunshine and temperatures only seasonably cool.

Rather tranquil weather for next week with a chance of rain showers on Tuesday.   Temperatures will be slightly above normal Monday through Wednesday and drop to near normal for the rest of the week.

 

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – Snow heavy at times and very windy, blizzard condtions likely, high in the upper 20s.

TONIGHT – Snow ending around midnight, low in the upper teens, total snow accumulations 18-24 inches.

Have a good day and stay safe!

Calm weather today before the storm! Blizzard warnings issued for much of New Jersey!


It is a chilly early morning in our area with temperatures ranging from the mid teens here in Clifton to around 10 in the colder inland suburbs, winds are nearly calm and skies are mostly clear.

Today we will have increasing cloudiness during the day, temperatures will be chilly with highs slightly lower than we had yesterday, winds will be light.  Definitely the calm before the storm and a good day to buy that milk and bread.

Low pressure now in the southeast states will intensify just off the North Carolina coast and then move northeast,  snow will begin in the northern part of New Jersey around daybreak on Saturday and then become heavy at times during the day and at night finally tapering off before daybreak on Sunday, strong northeast winds will cause blizzard conditions at times.  In the Clifton area only winter storm warnings have been issued but less than two miles to my south in Essex County blizzard warnings are in effect.  Tough forecast for snow amounts since there will be a sharp cutoff in the snow with higher amounts to our south and lower amounts to our north.   Yesterday afternoon I lowered the amount I expected in Clifton to 8 inches but looking at the computer models I am raising that total back to 10 inches but depending where the snow bands set up we could see as low as 2 inches of snow or the worst case scenario could bury us with 20 inches, so stay tuned.

Clearing by Sunday afternoon and we should stay mainly dry most of next week and it won’t be that cold with temperatures actually being somewhat above normal.

 

THE FORECAST:

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

TONIGHT – Cloudy with a chance of snow developing after midnight, low in the low 20s.

SATURDAY – Snow heavy at times, quite windy with blizzard conditons likely, high in the upper 20s.

SUNDAY – Chance of snow before 7 a.m, then becoming mostly sunny, high in the upper 30s.

MONDAY – Mostly sunny, high near 40.

TUESDAY – Partly sunny, high in the mid 40s.

WEDNESDAY – Partly sunny, high near 40.

THURSDAY – Mostly sunny, high in the upper 30s.

 

MARINE FORECAST:   TODAY – North wind to 14 knots, seas 1 foot.

OUTLOOK – Storm warning in effect from 1 a.m. on Saturday till 7 a.m on Sunday.   No advisories expected on Monday with near advisory condtions on Tuesday.

 

Have a good day and make sure you have enough bread and milk.
