Feb 14: Winter Storm Update
Here’s my final call for tonight through tomorrow. Everything looks a little bit south which is why the heaviest snowfall has been shifted to CNJ and parts of SNJ. While all of NJ should see at least light snowfall, I

We’re now under 24 hours away from winter storm impact in New Jersey. The clipper is riding in from the NW and will transfer to the ocean near Delmarva/SNJ tomorrow evening. It will then bomb out and give coastal New
The coldest period of the season so far is approaching. The weekend starts bitterly cold, peaks with a snow storm Saturday evening into Sunday morning and then closes out even colder than it started. Let’s break it down: Friday highs will

The main headline for this storm will be ice in CNJ and NNJ. Snow has become a much lesser concern regardless of the significant accumulations still possible in NNJ. SNJ will have the least amount of wintry impact with mostly
The northerly trend in model guidance appears to have halted now that better data sampling has been fed into their algorithms. Precipitation should begin falling Sunday evening and taper off Tuesday morning. We’re dealing with another snow/rain line moving northward
