Colder air moving in but snow should stay to our south on Monday!


With clear skies temperatures have fallen to the upper 20s in our are early this morning.

Today will be much colder than the 50s we had yesterday, skies will start off clear with increasing cloudiness this afternoon, temperatures will only rise to the mid 30s, well below normal for this time of year.

The storm system that we have been following looks like it will miss us to our south as a strong high pressure (or is it the shower curtain) will prevent most if not all the precipitation to remain just to our south, while Southern New Jersey may pick up a couple inches of snow we will be lucky to have a couple of flurries, temperatures will remain well below normal.

Clearing and not quite as cold on Tuesday.

Moderating trend Wednesday through Saturday with chances of rain showers Wednesday afternoon into Thursday morning and  again on Saturday.

A cold front will be crossing the area later in the day bringing back colder weather for Sunday with highs about 15 degrees colder than they will be today.

Most of the computer models have shifted south for the potential snow on St. Patricks Day so the risk of significant snow is lower although we may pick up an inch or two in Northern New Jersey with a little more across the southern part of the state.  Temperatures on Monday will be well below normal.

Clearing on Tuesday but still rather chilly for this time of year.
