Weather update for NJ metro

Latest post: 8:40am -- 11/10/2013

A little milder today, with highs in the mid-50s, and a mix of sun and clouds.
The wind, however, will be gusty, making the temperatures feel more like the 40s.

Regarding next week,  all weather models have the storm well out to sea by Wednesday...
There will be no impacts for our area.

A storm for next week is highly unlikely for NJ metro

Latest post: 2:15pm -- 11/9/2013

Weather update:
The remaining Saturday afternoon weather models are in...
THE GGEM and the EURO data suggest that the storm location by Wednesday and Thursday to be well out to sea from the East coast...

Since the storm is just now entering the WEST coast, there is still a slight chance the models can show otherwise in their future runs, so I will monitor this possibility over the next couple of days. But with my experience in these weather models, having recently shown consistency in moving the storm off-shore, I do not believe a closer-to-the-coast scenario will happen.

We shall see.
Enjoy a nice afternoon, with temps around 50 degrees today, and partly sunny skies!

Tomorrow will be milder, with a mix of sun and clouds, but with a more noticeable breeze. Highs top out in the mid- 50s.
Monday turns out mainly sunny, with highs in the 50s once again.

*** A strong cold front brings colder air for Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs in the low to mid- 40s. ***

More updates soon.

Looking at the weather data for next week

Latest post:11:15am -- 11/9/2013

This just in...

As you know, the EURO weather model is only one of several that are analyzed in assisting forecasting...
The GFS model, which is a reliable model as well, has just out-putted the data regarding the storm for next week ... keeping it off-shore.

Another model, called the GEM, will provide weather data before the EURO data comes out ... so information will be coming out in the next 1 - 3 hours deciding the fate, I believe, on the location of the storm on Wednesday and/or Thursday --

I continue to think it will be too far out to see to affect us.

Saturday morning update for NJ metro

Latest post: 9:10am -- 11/9/2013

Weather update:
Increasing confidence that the storm for next week will remain offshore and not impact our area...

I will wait for today's late morning and early afternoon weather models, for the EURO model in particular, which was the first to indicate this last week, but has been consistent the last 2 days in keeping it out to sea.
My feeling is that it will continue to forecast a "miss" with this next storm.

Details soon.

Friday afternoon weather update for NJ metro

Weather update:
Cold tonight, with clearing skies. Readings fall from the 40s overnight in to the 30s tomorrow morning.

Chilly over the weekend, with a brisk breeze at times, but no rain or snow is expected. 
Skies will have a mix of sun and clouds each afternoon.
Temperatures will be around 50 on Saturday, and in the mid- 50s on Sunday.
The new work-week starts off with highs in the 50s on Monday, and sunshine.

***High confidence of a strong cold front arrives Tuesday ***
** Below average certainty of a storm for Wednesday or Thursday **

Temperatures on Tuesday will be in the 40s, with a passing rain-shower or two possible, along with brisk winds...
Night-time lows drop into the 30s Wednesday morning.

Weather models are coming closer to a consensus about a storm for mid-week...
There has been a tendency in the models the last 24 hours for the storm to remain off-shore, but I am not yet committed to this outcome..
My thinking is that a more confident forecast will be determined by the data from weather models by Sunday.

So for storm/snow-lovers there is still hope, but it may be fading...

Thursday evening weather update for NJ metro

Latest post: 5:10pm - 11/7/2013



Regarding next week's weather...
The certainty in the forecast is for the Monday-Tuesday time frame...
Monday will be dry, and likely to be the "warmest" day of the week -- with highs in the low to mid- 50s.
A strong cold front moves through Tuesday, with perhaps some scattered rain-showers...
Temperatures fall into the 40s.

Wednesday through Friday is unclear as to whether a storm will come close to the East coast, stay out to sea, or even if there will be a storm at all.

Weather models are showing the possibility of each scenario above.

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, confidence in any of these details will only increase to "average" by the weekend.

Tomorrow will be the first of 2 cold snaps... with Friday starting out in the 30s for many areas, reaching the lower 50s, along with a gusty wind.
The weekend looks dry, with highs in the 50s.

The days following this weekend are described above.

More details soon.

And, that's the key word... NEXT WEEK, and, oh, yeah, POSSIBILITY...

There is no need for alarm.... 
There is PLENTY of time to confirm or discount this.

I will update posts each day and inform if this becomes true...

More on the next wimpy weather front in my next post.

Cold ... but not as cold tonight for NJ metro

Latest post: 4:55pm -- 11/4/2013


Weather update:
Even though we are around the same temperature now that we were 24 hours ago -- the cooling process will be slower this evening and tonight because of clouds "blanketing" us from the colder air, and the fact that the coldest process took place last night...

Temps this evening will fall slowly to around 40 degrees.

Instead of UPPER TEENS tomorrow morning (which occurred THIS morning in northwestern New Jersey), readings will be in the lower 30s there as well as on Long Island ... to the upper 30s to lower 40s elsewhere.


A milder trend begins tomorrow ... with mid- 60s by Thursday, when it is likely to be wet.

More details soon.

Monday afternoon weather update for NJ metro

Today will see highs in the mid- to upper 40s... along with a brisk breeze from time to time.
Some high clouds will filter the sunshine later this afternoon.

This evening will see some clouds, as temperatures fall to around 40 degrees.
Tonight is forecast to be partly cloudy. It will not be as cold as last night, but temperatures are expected to drop into 30s after midnight for many areas.
Wake-up readings on Tuesday will range from the lower 30s for northwestern NJ and parts of Long Island, to the upper 30s and lower 40s for the rest of the region.
Tuesday afternoon turns out partly sunny with highs in the lower and middle 50s.

Wednesday continues with the milder trend, with temperatures reaching the upper 50s to around 60 degrees along the coast, to around 65 degrees inland.
Skies, however, may not be as bright, becoming partly to mostly cloudy at times. Rain is not expected at this time.

Thursday is the day this week for the best chance of rain. Skies will be cloudy as the next weather front arrives.  Recent model data has this system weakening as it moves into our area, so it will not be a big rain-maker, with only some showers from late morning through the afternoon.
This should clear the area Thursday evening.
Highs on Thursday top out in the mid- 60s.

Friday has the return of sunshine, but with cooler consequences. Temperatures reach the mid- 50s, along with some gusty winds.
