Clearing and seasonably mild Sunday after morning flurries!


Cloudy skies at daybreak this morning, temperatures are in the low 20s in the Clifton area with some upper teens in the normally colder areas to our north and west.  Some flurries are occurring but unlike yesterday’s surprise 1″ accumulation with even a rare clasp of thunder we should have no accumulation except for higher elevations of the Poconos.

After morning cloudy skies today will become mostly sunny with highs reaching the 40 degree mark.

Monday an Arctic cold front will be approaching the area but ahead of the front we will have one more day in the 40s with partly sunny conditions.

The Arctic front will pass through on Monday night followed by a very cold airmass that will last the rest of the week before slightly moderating by next weekend.  No significant storms are in sight but we may have some snow showers especially on Tuesday and again on Thursday.

The computer models are now in range for Super Bowl Sunday and as of now it shows a warmup for the big game with highs in the upper 40s, that can and probably will change before then, I will keep you posted…

 

The forecast: Today – Cloudy with some morning flurries then becoming mostly sunny by this afternoon, high near 40.

Tonight – Partly cloudy, low in the upper 20s.

Monday – Partly sunny, high in the low 40s.

Tuesday – Mostly cloudy with a chance of flurries, much colder with highs in the mid 20s.

Marine forecast: Small craft advisories in effect through Monday afternoon for southwest winds to 25 knots and seas building to 4 feet.

Outlook – Advisories likely will be needed for most of the upcoming week.

 

Have a good day and if you are a football fan enjoy the games!!!!!

 

Seasonably cool weekend; Arctic air moves in Monday night and remains through the rest of the week!


Skies are cloudy early this morning, there has been some rain or snow showers in the area, with mainly light snow giving a coating to our north and west.

Today skies will become partly sunny with seasonably cool temperatures, with highs near 40.

After a chilly start Sunday morning readings again reach near 40 with mostly cloudy skies.

Monday will still be seasonably mild with highs in the low 40s but an Arctic cold front will move through on Monday night with much colder air by early Tuesday morning.

Arctic air will be with us for most of the upcoming week with lows near 10 and highs in the 20s.  There may be some flurries around but most of the week will be dry.  The European computer model does indicate a possible coastal low that would give us some significant snow Wednesday night into Thursday while the other models show no snow for our area so at this time I will keep the forecast dry since the European model has not been performing too well this winter.

 

The forecast: Today – Chance of early rain mixed with snow showers then becoming partly sunny, high near 40.

Tonight – Mostly cloudy, low in the low 20s.

Sunday – Mostly cloudy, high near 40.
