We will have a chance of showers until tomorrow evening and there is a chance that they could mix with or change to snow before ending tomorrow evening. The high will be in the mid to upper 40's.
Saturday should be nice but cold with lows in the upper 20's to low 30's and highs in the mid 40's.
Sunday will be variably cloudy with a slight chance of a shower and highs in the low 50's.
Monday and Tuesday will be mostly sunny with highs in the low 50's.
Tuesday night clouds will increase with a chance of a shower at night.
Wednesday there will be a chance of a shower in the morning with a high in the low to mid 50's.
The Arctic cold front will come through on Wednesday afternoon, bringing MUCH colder temperatures for Thursday with highs around 40.
Friday should be nice but the cold air will be in place for the weekend with lows in the mid to upper 20's and highs around 40.
For next weekend, the storm I have been watching for a week already should be moving along the Gulf Coast on Friday. This storm should then start to track northeast to a point near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina on Friday night or Saturday morning. Clouds will increase on Friday night as this storm approaches.
The next question is where this storm goes from there? The track will make all the difference.
Will this storm track as the one did last week and go south and then east of us, potentially bringing a heavy snow to areas to the south of us? Or will it track further north as the one prior to it did, bringing us heavy precipitation and potentially heavy snow? Or could it track even further north, bringing warm air into our area and changing this from a snow threat into a rain threat?
I am always amazed when I can see these potential storms from two weeks out, but somehow I often do. The MUCH harder part and nearly impossible one is to determine the EXACT track that the storm will take. It is the track that makes the difference between next weekend being sunny with the storm too far out to sea, or very snowy with a track right off the coast, or potentially rainy if the storm tracks too close to the coast or inland.
So, which will it be? Only Mother Nature really knows the answer to that question but I will do my best to outline things the way I see them this evening, which could very easily change tomorrow morning, but here it goes for right now.
I see a storm riding along the Gulf Coast on Friday then turning northeastward toward Cape Hatteras on Friday night, then turning more northward early on Saturday morning and ending up about 50-100 miles off the New Jersey Coast on Saturday night or Sunday morning, then continuing north on Sunday night.
If I am correct about this track (which would be pretty darn amazing from 9 days out), then we would have a major snowstorm on our hands for areas from the Southern Appalachian Mountains up through Western Virginia, the Washington D.C. and Baltimore area, through Philadelphia and through much of New Jersey and New York City and up through New England, although coastal areas, South Jersey, and New York City proper, would be a tough call.
Will it happen the way I outline it above? Well that is the question. Only time will tell.
If this storm occurs the way I outline above the high temperatures would likely be in the low to mid 30's next weekend.
Moving beyond this Nor'easter potential next weekend, it will remain cold through the following week with a chance of snow showers next Tuesday through Thursday and another Nor'easter potential for the following weekend. Highs will remain around 40 with lows possibly dropping well into the teens next Monday morning after the Nor'easter passes and if we have a fresh snowfall on the ground.
Join me in the morning and let's see if I am still on track with my Nor'easter for next weekend.
