A Mixed Bag
Discussion: Most of NNJ today has reached the ~75F mark. Much of CNJ/SNJ (away from the ocean) has reached the 80F mark. Immediate ECNJ/SENJ coastal areas are hanging in the 55-65F range due to marine influence (the ocean is still

Discussion: Temperatures should moderate back into the 65-75 range tomorrow (Monday) as a warm sector influences NJ with warmer temperatures and higher levels of humidity. A stormfront is then expected to pass through New Jersey from NW to SE between
Discussion: The upper jet should stay to the N of NJ this weekend before crossing S over NJ briefly Tues-Wed and ultimately returning N of NJ by Thursday of next week. This will set the stages for an abnormally warm
Discussion: A shallow positive trough will meander over NJ for much of this week, producing colder temperatures with a slightly unsettled feel. The trough should then give way to a building ridge for the weekend, yielding milder conditions. In the
Discussion: We have a low tracking from the Great Lakes into SE Canada tonight (Thursday night). A cold front is attached to this low which should push a storm/cold front through NJ. Lightning is yet TBD but we’re at least
Discussion: A potent upper low has crawled across the US from W to E over the last few days…very dynamic with lots of vorticity and clashing air masses of varying temperature/moisture. At the lower levels, this has created quite the
Discussion: We’ll be in a split jet zonal pattern for this weekend into next, the N stream to the N of NJ and the S stream to the S of NJ…which is why there won’t be a phased snowstorm this
Discussion: This storm has certainly juked a lot of us forecasters around. In full and honest transparency, if I haven’t already made it clear, uncertainty is high with this. We’re dealing with specific phase timing required + a possible InVerted
Discussion: There’s a lot to talk about. I think it’s better to break it down by time period and hazard rather than by hazard type only. So, let’s start with right now and walk through next week. Today’s Snowy Burst:
Discussion: A weak low will ride the thermal boundary and drive into W PA from the TN area tomorrow (Saturday). Initial precipitation will crash into a wall of cold air at first and generate a front-end snowfall for most of
