Saturday, November 8, 2014 - Morning Weather Discussion

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.
