No White Christmas for us, but we could break 60 degrees on
Christmas Eve!
Today light precipitation will move into our area this
afternoon or evening and it could start as light rain, freezing rain, sleet, or
snow, but it should rather quickly change to rain in most locations. Some areas of Northwestern New Jersey could
drop below freezing after the precipitation starts and remain below freezing
into the night, allowing for freezing rain.
So, some areas of Northwestern New Jersey could have some ice
accumulation before temperatures eventually warm above freezing at night. Otherwise, we will have rain through the day
on Tuesday with highs today in the mid to upper 30’s and the mid 40’s tomorrow.
Christmas Eve a strong storm will start to develop in the
Tennessee River Valley. This storm will
intensify rapidly as it heads northward into the Great Lakes. This will allow lots of moisture and warm air
to surge northward into our area for Christmas Eve and early Christmas morning,
bringing us rain, heavy at times, and some wind. Highs will rise through the day on Christmas
Eve and into early Christmas morning, reaching or breaking 60 degrees.
Expect the
possibility of heavy travel delays up and down the East Coast on Christmas Eve
with the heavy rain and wind. And for those of you heading south to Florida for the holiday;
remember that my dad owns a real estate company in Florida. Click

Christmas morning we will have rain, heavy at times, in the
pre-dawn hours, then it will start to clear out shortly after sunrise and
temperatures will fall to the mid to upper 40’s.
Friday should be mostly sunny with highs in the mid 40’s.
Saturday we will have increasing cloudiness in the afternoon
and at night with a high in the low 50’s.
Sunday a low pressure area may form along an approaching cold
front in the Southeastern United States and move northeastward in our
direction. If this storm develops, the
position of the front at the time the storm approaches would determine whether
we have rain or snow. If the front is to
our south and east we would have snow and if it is to our north and west we
will have rain. It is still too early to
tell if this storm will develop and where the front will be at that time, so be
sure to check back for updates. The
highs on Sunday should be around 40 but that will depend upon where the front
is on Sunday.
Next Monday we should have mostly sunny skies with highs
around 30.
Next Tuesday through Friday, a frontal system may line up
from west to east across our area, with very cold air to our north and warm air
to out south. Waves of low pressure may
ride along this front bringing on and off precipitation anytime from Tuesday
through New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day and into next Friday. Depending on exactly where this front sets up
we will have either rain, snow, freezing rain, or sleet from time to time
through this period. There is also the
possibility that one or two of these waves of low pressure could develop into
more important storms. Highs should be
in the low to mid 30’s through the period, but it could be warmer or colder
depending upon whether we end up to the north or south of the front. Please be sure to check back for updates.
Next weekend should then be nice with highs in the mid to
upper 30’s next Saturday and the upper 30’s to low 40’s next Sunday.
