Some Important Things to Talk About

Before the afternoon data starts rolling in gradually over the next 6 hours I just want to give you some insight on a few things.

1. Northwest New Jersey is EXTREMELY close to a major snowstorm on Tuesday and Wednesday as we sit here now before the next round of data comes in.

2. Northeast New Jersey will have a tougher time getting significant accumulations of snow unless something dramatic changes on the next couple of runs of data as the data keeps wanting to pull warm air in off the ocean.

3. Someone is going to get close to 3 FEET of snow or maybe even more than that, and quite possibly not even that far away from us.

4. Those who get all or mostly rain from this storm will have flash flooding to worry about as we will be getting some heavy rain already tonight and someone will be getting anywhere from 2-5 inches of rain from this storm on Tuesday and Wednesday.

4. The last round of data was so intense with the storm on late Tuesday morning that it actually changed the rain back to HEAVY SNOW for a couple of hours in Northwest New Jersey from dynamic cooling of the atmosphere.  The rain would be so intense and we are so close to the cold air that it would allow the atmosphere to cool down from the shear intensity of the precipitation.

5. Things can change as we are still three days away although, of course, that gets less likely with each run of the data

6.  This is usually the case with these blockbuster type storms as someone gets 3 feet and someone close by gets nothing.  This was the case on December 26, 2010 when Northeast New Jersey got 3 feet of snow and Northeast Pennsylvania got almost nothing.  Will this one be the reverse case?

Please check back throughout the day for updates.

This is Mother Nature we are dealing with and chaos theory dictates weather in every possible way.

There will be chaos but who gets flooding rains and who gets 3 FEET of snow? Still yet to be determined...
