Dec 4: Let’s Talk Snow
Discussion: We have two opportunities for snow this week. I don’t need to tell you that colder air is in place and it will stay over the Mid-Atlantic US well into next week. The first opportunity will likely be a very

Discussion: Real quick: The Weather NJ mobile app is now live on Apple and Google …an early holiday gift to you all! The Dec 4-5th winter storm signal will be squashed way to the to the S of NJ by cold northerly
It’s time to harness the WeatherTrends360 proprietary weather algorithms to see how December 2018 should play out. But first lets break New Jersey into climatologically-similar regions. We have the higher elevations of NNJ/NWNJ, the interior coastal plain and Newark Basin (SWNJ through CNJ and
Discussion: A very weak disturbance could produce light precipitation Friday PM. Some of NNJ, lets say ~I-80 and N, could see frozen precipitation. Not much total moisture is involved with this so little-to-no accumulation is expected. Let’s still use some
Discussion: The +PNA/-NAO/-AO pattern is in-place but a Mid-Atlantic winter storm will likely not happen this week. Instead a series of low transfers (Great Lakes->Gulf of Maine->Nova Scotia) should occur and eventually produce a very strong storm well to our
Discussion: 500mb heights should remain below-average through the weekend and especially next week. As high pressure departs further into the Atlantic Ocean this weekend, low pressure cutting to our NW into Canada will assist with the southerly flow. Tonight low
