Arctic Air Returns Briefly
Discussion: The weather pattern for the next 7 or so days will be dominated by two features. One is a piece of the Tropospheric Polar Vortex (TPV). The other is a frontal boundary that will act as a storm track

Discussion: The weekend is rather straightforward. As of right now (Thursday afternoon) it’s still windy out of the W/NW behind the departing system that brought snow and rain to NJ on Wednesday. These winds should continue howling into Thursday night
Discussion: There’s a tremendous amount of model disagreement with now less than 24 hours before the start of precipitation. Most of it revolves around how far SE the extent of snow will be in New Jersey. The overall consensus is
Discussion: This article will first cover the Wednesday-Thursday snow-to-rain event before we dive into some near-future signals I’m seeing. What we have been referring to as storm 1 arrived yesterday (as snow for NWNJ), precipitated overnight as mostly rain, and

Discussion: A cold front passed through today but prior to peak afternoon solar heating. That allowed most of NJ to rise into the 40s even near-50. Temperatures and humidity will drop with sundown this evening and yield a colder Friday
Discussion: Some light rain is around today along a very weak front attached to a very weak low currently fizzling over the E Great Lakes. This is already on it’s way out and should clear for tonight’s overnight hours (Tuesday).
Discussion: First let’s talk about tonight. Temps should hold on the milder side and fail to dip below 45 or so. The primary low will generally track along/just NW of the Appalachian Mountains across parts of SE Ohio, W PA,

Discussion: Tonight, we’ll finally dip back into the low-30s for most areas, some below-freezing. It’s been a while (since right after Christmas) that we’ve seen such but it will feel more like winter and less like spring. We can thank
