Discussion: About the only thing worth discussing this weekend is a coastal disturbance. The low should form off OBX Friday AM and track SE of the 40N/70W benchmark out-to-sea through Friday night/early Saturday AM. The flow is progressive (a quick

Discussion: A few upper-level shortwaves will be syncing up within a broader longwave trough. This trough is expected to swing through our area this week. The upper level dynamics will no doubt produce a surface disturbance but such should stay

Discussion: Monday and the first part of Tuesday should feature milder conditions with SW flow ahead of the cold front. The cold front itself should bring a period of moderate to possibly heavy (at times) rainfall Tuesday PM into Wednesday
It’s time to harness the WeatherTrends360 proprietary weather algorithms to see how the rest of December 2017 should play out. But first lets break New Jersey into proper climatological regions. We have the higher elevations of NNJ/NWNJ, the interior coastal plain (SWNJ through CNJ and
