Discussion: I had a feeling the tropics were going to heat up when we were on vacation. But we’re back and normal updates will now resume. Our 4-year-old daughter had the time of her life in Disney World. Our first

Discussion: An upper low will move out of the region this weekend leaving NW flow aloft in its wake. This should allow for less humid conditions to persist despite hotter daytime temperatures. Recently, it has been very humid with a
Discussion: The most important weather scenario to discuss is this evening. Last night’s storms petered out for many to just a rainy breeze, but we are lucky. The dynamics were there for severe/tornado potential. If I had to make that

Discussion: The upper jet should sit right over NJ this week with lower heights dominating the pattern. This will keep an unsettled atmosphere over NJ, especially at the start of the week and later towards the weekend. Tuesday through Thursday
Discussion: The upper levels will transition to a zonal pattern as the trough exists our region to the E. It should stay this way until mid-next week. A mostly dry frontal passage will pass through NJ by early Saturday morning

Discussion: The upper jet will stay to the N of NJ through Saturday. On Sunday it will dip below NJ and usher in a trough. 500mb analysis correlates with this…ridging today (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday) with the trough following for
Discussion: The upper levels are setting the stage for a heat wave. Once the current weak trough moves away, the upper jet is going to push N of NJ for a period (Tues-Sat) which will correlate with higher geopotential heights
