Polar Vortex is on the way!!! MUCH colder air by the end of the week with
several chances for inclement weather and very possibly at least a little snow
and possibly much more…
First though, it will be a nice but cold day today with highs
in the mid 40’s.
Tomorrow will be variably cloudy and a bit warmer with a
high around 50.
Monday and Tuesday will be quite nice with temperatures
warming to the mid 50’s on Monday and the low 60’s on Tuesday as warm air
surges north into our area ahead of an approaching cold front.
Next Wednesday will be variably cloudy as an arctic cold
front approaches. It will still be quite
warm ahead of the front with highs in the low 60’s.
Wednesday night the Arctic cold front will move through,
dropping high temperatures to the low to mid 40’s on Thursday.
Thursday night an upper level low will approach from the
west in the Northern Jet Stream while a weak disturbance may approach from the
Southeastern United States in the Southern Jet Stream. These two disturbances MAY combine and form a
Nor’easter near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina on Thursday night. Even if these two disturbances don’t combine,
we would still see at least some light snow early on Friday morning as the
disturbance moving in from the west passes through our area. If these two disturbances do combine and form
the Nor’easter near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina on Thursday night, this storm
would then move northward to a position about 50-100 miles off the New Jersey
Coast by Friday afternoon, causing moderate to heavy precipitation during the
day on Friday. Temperatures may very
well rise above freezing during the day on Friday depending on the exact track
and strength of the storm. If the Nor’easter
does form, the exact track and strength of the storm would determine how much
of the precipitation falls as rain and how much falls as snow, but a
significant snowfall would be possible, especially in the higher terrain of
Northwestern New Jersey. Of course it is
possible that the two pieces don’t come together at all and we just get a bit
of light snow in the early morning on Friday.
We will have to wait and see.
After this storm passes it will get very cold next Saturday
with a low in the mid to upper 20’s and highs only in the mid 30’s.
Next Sunday it will be VERY COLD as the Polar Vortex will be
nearby and clouds will also increase in the morning with a chance of rain or
snow developing in the afternoon and continuing through the night as a storm
may approach from the Southeastern United States. Again, the exact track of this storm will
determine whether this is rain or snow. The
lows next Sunday morning may dip to the mid teens in the coldest locations of
Northwestern New Jersey to the low 20’s in the warmer sections of Northeastern
New Jersey. The highs next Sunday should
be in the mid 30’s.
Next Monday we will have a chance of rain or snow in the
morning, with clearing late in the day.
The highs will be in the low to mid 40’s.
Next Tuesday will be variably cloudy with a slight chance of
a snow shower and it will be VERY COLD as the Polar Vortex will be nearby. The lows on Tuesday morning will be in the
low to mid 20’s and the highs will only be in the mid to upper 20’s.
Next Wednesday will be variably cloudy with a slight chance
of a snow shower. The lows will be in
the upper teens to low 20’s and the highs will be in the low to mid 30’s.
Next Thursday will start out mostly sunny but clouds will
increase in the afternoon with a chance of snow developing at night as another
storm may approach from the Southeastern United States and team up with a piece
of energy from the Northern Jet Stream to produce another Nor’easter. The lows on Thursday morning will be in the
low 20’s and the highs in the mid 30’s.
Next Friday there will be a chance of a Nor’easter in our
area bringing us some snow. The lows
will be in the low 20’s and the highs will be in the low 30’s.
