Another frigid morning as temperatures have fallen to 12 degrees in the Clifton area to some single digits further inland and with gusty north winds some wind chill readings are below zero.  Skies are mostly clear.

Despite plenty of sunshine today temperatures will struggle to reach the 30 degree mark,  winds will diminish by this afternoon.

Not quite as cold tonight but still well below normal for this time of year..

Temperatures moderate on Friday and rise even further on Saturday with readings approaching the 50 degree mark.  There will be a storm system that may give rain to Southern New Jersey on Friday night before moving out to sea but northern areas should remain dry.

Dry and a little cooler on Sunday.

Milder again early next week.

Watching for a potential snowstorm late next week as winter doesn’t seem to want to go away quietly.

With mostly cloudy skies this morning temperatures are nearly 15 degrees warmer than this time yesterday with readings in the lower 20s. The coldest readings in New Jersey are in the southern part of the state that have fresh snowpack.

Today will be partly sunny with highs about five degrees warmer than yesterday reaching the upper 30s which is still below normal for this time of year.  Clouds will increase towards evening with a slight chance of some flurries.

Thursday will be mostly sunny but a little colder as high pressure builds from the north.

Milder weather Friday through early next week with little or no precipitation expected which is good news as we can have a slow melt of our existing snowpack.

Looking at the long range it appears winter is not done yet as some of the computer models are showing a snowstorm around the 14th, of course this too far in the future especially seeing what eventually happened from the last storm the models indicating only a couple of days in advance.

The forecast:  Today – Partly sunny, high in the upper 30s.

Tonight – Mostly cloudy, low in the upper teens.

Thursday – Mostly sunny, high in the low 30s.

Friday – Partly sunny, high in the low 40s.

Saturday – Increasing cloudiness, high in the upper 40s.

Sunday – Mostly sunny and breezy, high in the low 40s.

Monday – Partly sunny, high in the mid 40s.

Tuesday – Mostly cloudy, high in the mid 40s.

Marine Forecast: Today – North-northeast wind to 9 knots, seas 1 foot building to 3 feet this afternoon.

Small craft advisory in effect from this evening through Thursday afternoon.

Outlook – Advisories are expected Thursday into Saturday.

Have a good hump day!

With clear skies and light winds the temperature in Clifton has fallen to 7 degrees which is a record low for March 4th.   Many areas even in Southern New Jersey are in the single digits. The coldest temperature in the state is -6 degrees at Walpack in Sussex County.

We escaped yesterday with only a few flurries in Northern New Jersey but up to 7 inches fell in the southern part of the state.

After the bitterly cold morning temperatures this afternoon will rise to near 30 degrees and with less wind it won’t feel as harsh as yesterday. Clouds will increase but no precipitation is expected.

We will have mostly cloudy conditions tonight through Thursday and temperatures will moderate somewhat but still remain well below normal.

Temperatures will rise to near normal Friday through the weekend with highs in the 40s.    The only chance of precipitation may be with some snow showers on Saturday night.

The forecast: Today – Partly sunny, high near 30.

Tonight – Mostly cloudy, low in the upper teens.

Wednesday – Mostly cloudy, high in the upper 30s.

Thursday – Mostly cloudy, high in the upper 30s.

Friday – Partly sunny, high in the low 40s.

Saturday – Partly sunny, high in the upper 40s, chance of snow showers at night.

Sunday – Partly sunny, high in the low 40s.

Monday – Mostly sunny, high in the mid 40s.

Marine Forecast: Today –  North winds to 11 knots this morning becoming light and variable this afternoon, seas 4 feet diminishing to 2 feet.

Outlook – Advisories likely Thursday through Saturday.

Have a good day!

Temperatures this morning have fallen into the teens and there was a couple of flurries falling, winds are brisk.

Cold Arctic air as moved into the area and pushed the accumulating snow to our south,  so what looked to be a major snowstorm a couple of days ago has be reduced to only some early morning flurries for most of Northern New Jersey, Southern New Jersey may pick up 6-8 inches and even there it won’t be as bad as forecasters originally thought.

Tonight will be bitterly cold with lows in the single digits.

Dry with much below normal temperatures for tomorrow and Wednesday.

Slight moderation in temperatures as the week progresses, and we will watch another storm form offshore that may give us some snow Thursday night then changing to rain on Friday but at this time this storm it appears that this storm will be far enough offshore to cause any major problems.

Dry on the weekend with continued moderating temperatures but still slightly below normal for this time of year.

The forecast: Today – Cloudy with some morning flurries, high in the mid 20s.

Tonight – Mostly clear and very cold with diminishing winds, low around 10.

Tuesday – Partly sunny, high near 30.

Wednesday – Mostly cloudy, high in the mid 30s.

Thursday – Mostly cloudy, high around 40, chance of light snow at night.

Friday – Mostly cloudy with a chance of light snow changing to rain, high near 40.

Saturday – Partly sunny, high in the upper 40s.

Sunday – Partly sunny, high in the low 40s.

Marine forecast: Small craft advisory in effect through Tuesday morning for northerly winds to 30 knots, seas 4-7 feet.

Outlook – Below advisory level conditions Tuesday night through Wednesday evening, advisories again possible Wednesday night through Friday.

Have a good day!

Three days ago it appeared that we would be looking at a major snowstorm in the Clifton area but now indications are we are only going to receive about an inch or two tonight into Monday morning.   What the computer models did not pick up that Joan took down the winter shower curtain on February 20th and since then all the potential storms have not panned out.   If you don’t like snow please thank her for taking the curtain down.  While the shower curtain was up we received over 60 inches of snow this season and only about an inch since it is removal….
