Tuesday Morning's Weather Discussion

A storm will approach our area tonight and will bring with it a mixture of precipitation when it starts around 11pm, changing to mostly snow and sleet and continuing overnight, then changing back to a mixture of precipitation before it ends around 11am on Wednesday.  Total snow and sleet amounts should be 2-5 inches throughout Northern New Jersey, although it is possible that more sleet could mix in, holding the accumulations down in some locations, especially as you head south of Rt. 80.  This will then clear out through Saturday, although it will get quite cold on Friday, with highs only in the 20’s on Friday and lows in the teens.  There will then be a chance of some snow showers on Sunday as a weak storm system passes by to our north.  The next chance of a more significant storm will be next Tuesday as a Nor’easter may form near us, but there are still a lot of questions about where this storm will develop, so we will just have to wait and see how much it eventually impacts our area.  It will however likely get very cold next week, with lows in the single digits and highs only in the 20’s.  Below is a post I made about this storm potential way back on January 3rd.  It may not be a big Nor'easter, but not bad, huh?

Warmth Next Week... And Then......

Well, we are going to see a chance of a little light snow that could leave a dusting in many locations early on Sunday morning, then we will see warmth next week that will melt all the snow as we approach or exceed 50 degrees by the end of the week.  Then..... I am having one of those feelings that I have had before.  I could be totally wrong, but what the heck, sometimes I nail these things from two weeks out, so here we go.  Next weekend the warmth will come to an end rather abruptly with the passage of a cold front.   Then early the following week we could very well be looking at a rather large Nor'easter, in the form of snow.  It is nearly two weeks away, so who knows, but, I am getting one of those feelings, so what the heck.  You know, Weather on the Edge, right?  Why not.  Let me put a date range on this.  Some time between Monday January 14th and Thursday January 17th.  Let's see how this goes.  Should be interesting.
