With clear skies and light winds temperatures have fallen to the upper single digits in the Clifton area to even some below zero readings in the normally colder areas.

Today temperatures will rise to the low 30s but another cold front be crossing through this afternoon accompanied by some scattered snow showers that may give us a coating of snow.  Winds will increase this afternoon with some gusts up to 30 MPH.

Behind this front a reinforcing surge of Arctic air will cover the area tonight with record low temperatures with readings well down in the single digits, wind chills will fall to well below zero.

On Friday despite “significant” sunshine temperatures will only rise to the mid 20s.

Dry and not quite as frigid Saturday through most of the day on Sunday.

A winter storm will affect the area Sunday night through Monday night, still too early to pinpoint snow amounts as what falls may be mixed with sleet, rain and freezing rain.  At any rate be prepared for some travel problems.

Much below temperatures will continue to at least the middle of next week.

The forecast:  Today – Increasing cloudiness with a chance of afternoon snow showers becoming windy, high in the low 30s.

Tonight – Mostly clear, low around 5 above.

Friday – Sunny, high in the low 20s.

Saturday – Mostly cloudy, high in the mid to upper 30s.

Sunday – Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain or snow showers, high in the mid to upper 30s.  Snow likely at night.

Monday and Monday night – Snow likely, high near 30.

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

Wednesday – Mostly sunny, high in the upper 20s.

Marine forecast: Gale warning for this afternoon into late tonight, winds southwest becoming west with gusts to 40 knots, seas 3-5 feet. Freezing spray likely tonight.

Outlook: Conditions improve to below advisory levels Friday night and continue into the day on Sunday, advisories again likely Sunday night into Monday.

Have a good day!

At daybreak this morning skies are cloudy and temperatures range from the low 20s in the Clifton area to the teens and even some single digits in Sussex County, there are some snow showers falling in parts of the area mainly to our south.

Snow showers are likely mainly this morning and we may see a coating to an inch of accumulation, skies will clear by this afternoon.  Much colder tonight with lows dropping down to near 10 degrees.

Some more scattered snow showers are possible on Thursday and it will be windy and cold.

Friday will be very cold with early morning lows in the single digits and highs only in the 20s despite plenty of sunshine.

Saturday will be dry but not as cold.

I think the removal of the winter shower curtain will be getting a  real test Sunday into Monday as a winter storm is likely.  Precipitation is likely to begin on Sunday as a mixture of rain and snow but as colder air moves in from the north the precipitation should change to all snow Sunday night into Monday with significant accumulations quite possible.

The forecast: Today – Snow showers mainly this morning, accumulations around an inch, becoming mostly sunny by this afternoon, high near 30.

Tonight – Partly cloudy and very cold, low around 12.

Thursday – Partly sunny with a chance of snow showers, high around 30.

Friday – Sunny, high in the mid 20s.

Saturday – Mostly cloudy, high in the mid 30s.

Sunday – Chance of rain or snow, high in the mid 30s, precipitation changing to all snow at night.

Monday – Snow likely,  significant accumulations possible, high in the low 30s.

Tuesday – Partly sunny, high in the mid 30s.

Marine forecast: Small craft advisory in effect through this evening for west winds gusting to 30 knots, seas 2-3 feet.

Outlook – Gale watch for Thursday then conditions improve to below advisory levels Friday through the weekend.

A stronger storm is expected next Monday that could give us a chance of more substantial snow but maybe this threat will also lessen  as time goes on since the winter shower curtain is now down..

Watching the potential for more snow on Wednesday however even the European model has a further out to sea track so it is possible our area will have minimal effects from this system.
