Today we will see an increase of clouds with a chance of some mixed light rain and snow after 3 p.m., temperatures will be cool.  The latest computer models have the storm moving a little closer to the coast so snow is likely tonight and should accumulate around 1-2 inches before ending Monday morning, more snow will be falling to our east across coastal New Jersey and Long Island and less to our west.  Last year we also had snow on the first day of spring with 3 1/2 inches accumulating.

The snow will end Monday morning with clearing by the afternoon, temperatures will not be as chilly rising to near 50.

Skies are mainly clear over the area early on this Saturday morning and temperatures are colder than they have been the last several morning ranging from around 30 in Clifton to the mid 20s further inland, these readings are actually around normal, winds are light.

Today we will see an increase in clouds as disturbance moves to our south, Southern New Jersey may get clipped by some rain but our area will remain dry.

The coastal storm that we have been tracking the last couple of days looks to be far enough out to sea to cause any major impact to our area, there will be a chance of snow tomorrow afternoon becoming likely at night ending before daybreak on Monday, accumulations now look to be only around one inch and I would not be surprised if we get even less.

Dry weather with seasonably cool temperatures Monday and Tuesday.

Mainly dry with temperatures once again rising to above normal levels Wednesday through the end of next week.

Skies are mostly clear early on this Friday morning and temperatures range from the low 40s here in Clifton to some low 30s in the outlying suburbs, winds are from the west 5-10 mph.

Today will start off sunny but we should see an increase of clouds this afternoon with a chance of showers late this afternoon and early this evening, there will be a brisk westerly wind. A cold front will cross the area tonight followed by colder air,

Saturday will feature plenty of sunshine but temperatures will be chilly with highs only in the 40s.

Looking at the latest computer models it appears that the European model which was showing a quite significant snowstorm in our area now has the storm further east more like the GFS has been indicating which would give us mainly lighter snowfall amounts falling mostly Sunday afternoon into Sunday night, so as it stands now we could expect about a 2-4 inches of snow.

The snow should end early on Monday morning followed by clearing with chilly temperatures.

Mainly dry Tuesday through Thursday with a warming trend and we could see temperatures reach near 70 degrees by Thursday.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – Increasing cloudiness with a chance of a shower after 4 p.m. high near 60.

TONIGHT – Chance of a shower before 8 p.m. followed by clearing, colder with lows in the low 30s.

MARINE FORECAST:  Small craft advisory will be in effect from 11 a.m. this morning till 6 a.m. on Saturday for west winds to 25 knots, seas 2-4 feet.

Have a good day!

Skies are mostly cloudy early on this St. Patrick’s Day and temperatures range from the mid 40s here in Clifton to around 40 inland, winds are light.

Today will be a mostly cloudy day with a chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms, some of these storms may be accompanied by gusty winds and small hail.

Not as mild on Friday with a chance of showers as a cold front approaches the area.

Colder air moves in for the weekend, Saturday will be dry but a low pressure system is expected to develop along the southeast coast and intensify as it moves up the coast, the track of this system is still not certain with the GFS model only brushing us with some light precipitation while the European is stronger and closer to the coast which would cause a significant snowstorm for our area. If you read my post from March 10th when we were having incredible record warmth that I would not be surprised if we saw some snow around the first day of spring now it looks like now it has a very excellent chance of happening.

Below normal temperatures with dry conditions Monday and Tuesday with temperatures rebounding to above normal levels Wednesday through the end of next week.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – Mostly cloudy with a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, some storms may be accompanied by gusty winds and small hail, highs in the mid 60s.

TONIGHT – Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly before 10 p.m., low in the low 40s.

FRIDAY – Partly sunny with a chance of showers, high in the mid 50s.

SATURDAY – Sunny and colder, high in the mid 40s.

SUNDAY – Cloudy with a chance of snow developing in the afternoon and continuing into the night, high only in the upper 30s.

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

TUESDAY – Mostly sunny, high in the upper 40s.

WEDNESDAY – Partly sunny and milder, high in the upper 50s.

MARINE FORECAST:  Small craft advisory will be in effect from noon today until 8 p.m. this evening for westerly winds gusting to 30 knots, seas 2-5 feet.

OUTLOOK – Small craft advisories likely for Friday with no advisories expected Saturday into the day on Sunday with possible gale warnings for the coastal storm Sunday night into Monday.

Have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
