Monday, February 3rd, 2014 - Morning Weather Discussion

We will have snow today, heavy at times, ending around 3-4 pm with total accumulations of 5-10 inches from north to south across Northern New Jersey with the lowest amounts across Northern Sussex County and the highest amounts near Rt. 78.  Tomorrow we will start out with sunny skies, and then clouds will increase in the afternoon as another storm approaches our area.  This storm will bring more snow, starting around 11 pm on Tuesday night and ending around 4 pm on Wednesday afternoon.  The snow could mix with sleet or freezing rain which would hold accumulations down if does, otherwise snow accumulations should be 5-10 inches.  Thursday should be nice, and then on Friday we will have just a chance of a snow shower in the morning.  Saturday we will have a chance of some light snow.  Then a very strong storm is likely to start developing along the Gulf Coast on Saturday.  This storm is likely to intensify quite a bit as it heads north, up the East Coast of the United States.  This storm is likely to bring more heavy snow to our area, but it also has the potential to bring heavy snow and ice as far south as Northern Georgia depending upon how and where this storm develops.  I urge everyone from Northern Georgia to Maine to keep a very close eye on this storm as it does have the potential to bring 1-2 feet of snow to people in these areas depending upon how and where the storm develops.  The main effects from this storm will be felt on Sunday to the south, possibly starting on Saturday in the Deep South, and then on Sunday into Monday morning in the Northeastern United States.  In the Northeastern states it is possible that the winds could also become quite intense.  After this storm passes we will have another chance for snow next Thursday, then again next Saturday.  Wow!
