Early this morning we have snow mixed with a little sleet, at 6am 5.5 inches of snow has fallen in Clifton, temperatures range from the low 30s in Clifton to the upper 20s further inland, winds are nearly calm.

Snow mixed with rain and sleet will continue this morning with another 1-2 of accumulation, this afternoon we should only see some freezing drizzle mixed with light snow which will end by this evening.

Sunday will be a mostly sunny day with seasonable temperatures.

Another potentially stronger storm will be moving offshore on Monday, at this time most of the snow will be just to our south and east but this will be a close call and needs to be closely watched, areas to the south and east of the Clifton area has the highest chance of a quite significant snow, at this time we will only forecast a chance of light snow.  It will be colder so if we do receive any accumulation the snow will be more fluffy unlike the heavier wet snow that has fallen today.

Dry and very cold Tuesday and Wednesday.

Not as cold Thursday and Friday and we may see some light snow on Thursday night.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – Snow mixed with sleet and rain tapering off later this morning, additional accumulations of 1-2 inches expected, high in the mid 30s.

TONIGHT – Mostly cloudy, low in the upper 20s.

SUNDAY – Mostly sunny, high in the mid 30s.

MONDAY – Cloudy with a chance of snow, high in the upper 20s.

MARINE FORECAST:  Small craft advisory in effect until 10 am on Sunday for northeast winds becoming northwest to 30 knots, seas 5-8 feet.

OUTLOOK – No advisories for Sunday afternoon and evening.  Advisories likely Monday through Wednesday with possible gales Monday and Monday night.

Have a good day!

The area has clear skies early this morning and temperatures range from the low 20s in the Clifton area to the teens further inland, winds are light.

Today will be a rather nice winter day with plenty of sunshine, light winds and high temperatures around the 40 degree mark.

Skies will become cloudy tonight with snow arriving shortly after midnight, the snow will continue Saturday morning and then mix with sleet and rain, total accumulations should be around 3-5 inches with the precipitation ending in the evening.

Sunshine will return on Sunday with near normal temperatures, with highs in the upper 30s.

Another storm will be moving up the coast on Monday, the computer models with this system are not in agreement yet with most guidance showing only a minor event while the American model indicates a more significant event.  The temperatures will be colder so any precipitation will fall as snow.  The timing of the event is pretty similar to Saturday’s storm with snow beginning before daybreak and ending by evening.

Much colder air will follow the storm for Tuesday and Wednesday with a slight moderation in temperatures on Thursday, dry conditions will prevail.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – Sunny, high near 40.

TONIGHT – Becoming cloudy, with snow after midnight, low in the upper 20s.

SATURDAY – Snow mixing with sleet and rain ending in the evening, highs in the mid 30s, possible accumulations 3-5 inches.

SUNDAY – Partly sunny, high in the upper 30s.

MONDAY – Cloudy with a good chance of snow, high in the upper 20s.

TUESDAY – Mostly sunny and very cold, high in the low 20s.

WEDNESDAY – Mostly sunny, high in the mid 20s.

THURSDAY – Partly sunny, high in the low 30s.

MARINE FORECAST: TODAY – Southwest wind to 8 knots, seas 1 foot.

Small craft advisory will be effect from 4am on Saturday till 10am on Sunday.

OUTLOOK – Advisories possible through Tuesday!

I have now completed three years of doing this blog, i want to thank Doreen at PSE&G for the idea of the blog, my son Jared who set it all up and also a big thank you to my loyal followers.

Have a good day!

We have cloudy skies with a couple of flurries in the area, temperatures range from the upper 20s in the Clifton area to the low 20s further inland, winds are light.    We had no snow accumulation since yesterday in the Clifton area only a few flurries while Southern New Jersey picked up a couple of inches.

Today we will have cloudy skies with a couple of early flurries then it will become mostly sunny, temperatures will be rather pleasant for this time of year with highs near 40, winds will be light.

Friday will be another pleasant day with continued pleasant temperatures, sunny conditions and light winds.

On Saturday a storm system will be affecting our area, the computer models have come into better agreement, the European model which yesterday showed our area getting blasted with a foot of snow have backed off from that outcome.  At this time it appears that snow will begin before daybreak on Saturday, possibly mixing with sleet and rain and ending by evening, at this time 2-4 inches of snow is possible.

Sunday we will be between the two storms with the area enjoying mostly sunny skies and with seasonable temperatures.

With Monday’s storm the computer models are again not in agreement, this time the American model has the most snow with over 8 inches while the European model has much less, with this storm it will be colder so what falls will be in the form of snow with no mixing issues.

Clearing and colder weather for Tuesday and Wednesday.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – Cloudy with a couple of early flurries then becoming mostly sunny, high near 40.

TONIGHT – Mostly clear, low in the low 20s.

FRIDAY – Sunny, high near 40.

SATURDAY – Snow likely beginning before daybreak, possibly mixing with sleet and rain, possible accumulations of 2-4 inches, high in the mid-upper 30s.   Snow ending by early evening.

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

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

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

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

MARINE FORECAST:  TODAY – West-northwest wind to 9 knots, seas 1 foot.

OUTLOOK – No advisories Friday and Sunday with advisories likely for the storms on Saturday and Monday.

Have a good day!

Skies are mostly clear at daybreak this early Wednesday morning, temperatures are colder than the last couple of mornings ranging from around 20 in the Clifton area to the lower teens further inland, winds are light.

Today we will see increasing cloudiness, temperatures will be cooler than the last couple of days mainly in the mid 30s.

A weak fast moving low pressure area will be moving to our south tonight and we should see some light snow accumulating to around an inch in the Clifton area with higher amounts across Southern New Jersey.

Thursday and Friday will be dry with seasonably cold temperatures.

We then turn our attention to two coastal storms one on Saturday and then another storm on Monday that have the chance to give our area significant snow both days, as always the amount of snow will depend on the track, speed and intensity of these storms.  We will be in between these two systems on Sunday and that day will likely be dry with seasonable temperatures.  In the meantime I will have to look to see if my wife put that snowy shower curtain back up.

THE FORECAST:

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

TONIGHT – Snow likely beginning near sunset, accumulation of an inch expected, low in the mid 20s.

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

FRIDAY – Sunny, high in the mid 30s.

SATURDAY – Snow likely, high in the mid 30s.

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

MONDAY – Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow, high in the low 30s.

TUESDAY – Partly sunny, high in the low 30s.

MARINE FORECAST:  TODAY – North wind around 10 knots, seas 2 feet.

OUTLOOK – No advisories expected Thursday, Friday and Sunday, with advisories possible Saturday and Monday.

Dry Thursday and Friday with seasonable temperatures.

Over the weekend a stronger storm system will be moving off the Carolina coast and just may be close enough to brush us with some snow but at this time most of the snow will stay south of us and we will remain dry.
