Sunday, November 30, 2014 - Morning Weather Discussion

Very changeable and unsettled weather ahead…

A frontal system will be set up west to east across our area through Friday night.  It will wiggle and waggle back and forth north and south of our area through Friday night. 

It already moved north of our area last night bringing warmer weather today and tomorrow with highs in the mid to upper 40’s today and the low to mid 50’s tomorrow. 

The front will then start to move south of our tomorrow night, bringing some showers in the afternoon as it passes.  The showers could change to snow showers before ending on Monday night.

Tuesday will then be variably cloudy and colder as the front will be situated to our south.  The highs on Tuesday should be in the mid to upper 30’s.

The front will then start to move north on Tuesday afternoon, bringing us a chance of some light snow starting late in the afternoon on Tuesday and changing to light rain by midnight on Tuesday.

Then Wednesday will be warmer with highs in the mid to upper 40’s and a chance of showers.

The front will then push south of our area again early on Thursday morning, bringing a colder day on Thursday with highs in the low 40’s.

A weak storm system will then ride along the front on Thursday night and approach our area, bringing with it a chance of light snow on Thursday night into Friday as the front should be south of our area at that time.

Then on Friday night the storm system will approach the Middle Atlantic Coast and could turn into a Nor’easter.  Depending on where this storm system develops it will either push the front to our north and bring us rain for Friday night through the weekend, or keep the front to our south opening up the chance for snow this weekend.  Right now I would lean toward rain, but it is a close call and we will have to give it more time to see how this all develops. 

Things will likely clear out for next Monday into Tuesday morning, and then another storm may approach the East Coast from the west and could very well cause another Nor’easter to develop for next Tuesday night through Thursday.  Again, it is too early to tell whether this would be rain or snow.

It will then clear out for next Friday and Saturday, then we will have to watch for the potential of another Nor’easter to develop for next Sunday. 

One thing missing from the equation now is very cold air.  The very cold air is gone.  The reason it got so cold the past few days and we got all that snow in Northern New Jersey was because of the very strong storm that had developed in the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea that was stronger than Superstorm Sandy.  If you remember, I had talked about that storm disrupting the global weather pattern and dropping very cold air into our area.  It was this very cold air that caused the record breaking Lake Effect snow in New York State and the heavy snowfall that caused numerous power outages in Northwestern New Jersey.  It did also bring some beautiful scenery to our area for the holiday however.  But now the effects of that global disruption from the Superstorm are gone and we are back into an early winter-type pattern.  There will likely be numerous opportunities for Nor’easters to develop along the East Coast over the next two weeks; the big question is how much cold air will be available for those storms?  We will have to wait and see how all this works out. 

Be sure to check back in this evening for the latest.

Have a great day!
