I was really tempted to issue a Stage 3 Alert for locastions from Philadelphia through the New York City metro including central New Jersey and the southern Hudson Valley and Connecticut. However, I think it would be wise to wait for 12Z guidance to confirm the trends and developments I am seeing this morning.

The theme going forward will likely crush the forecast for anyone going for a warm January. The combination of a strong negative EPO and the postion of the upper low over eastern Canada will support a very cold air mass to dive into the eastern two-thirds of the nation.
There can be no doubt that [...]

The forecast for the next three days is obviously going to be the most active in the next 24 hours.
Currently, a coastal low pressure system is developing off the New Jersey coast. Winds along the coast are beginning to turn to the northwest over southern New Jersey and northeast along Long Island, clearly indicating [...]

The east wind we’ve been expecting is finally kicking in and allowing temperatures to rise quickly over much of southern and central New Jersey. For example, in my own back yard since the wind switch about 30 minutes ago, temperatures have jumped from 31 degrees to 33 degrees with a steady rise indicated. Similar [...]

As the clipper is bombing out to the east of Long Island, a strong area of snow showers is driving southeast through western and central New Jersey with light to moderate snowfall.
Currently, snow is falling over Freehold, interrupting an intense leg work out I was doing (squating 300 lbs is hard work!), and the [...]

The weather will be no excuse this weekend on whether retail sales will be up or down, that’s for sure! The upper level pattern at this current time has the storm track well north and west of the forecast area. The negative NAO is still developing and the current block is not in place [...]

I can bet there will be some out there screaming that winter is over and January is a warm month after the end of this up coming week. A large ridge is going to build over the eastern third of the nation while an upper low digs into Alaska shutting down the northwesterly flow [...]

Temperatures are currently on a falling trend over Delaware and looks to be beginning over southeastern Pennsylvania and Philadelphia. Winds have backed to the northwest, which is driving cold air over interior Pennsylvania towards the coast.
This development will lead to a change to frozen precipitation throughout the coastal plain and will continued to [...]

The watches are going up and the excitement is growing. Well, for some at least. We have another winter storm on the way for the forecast area on Friday. However, I have a slightly different take on this forecast and I still have a lot of uneasiness about this storm in general, especially over [...]

Now I know some of you have noticed that the precipitation is breaking up a bit over southern New Jersey and Delaware, however this is just a break in the precipitation. The low pressure system along the cold front is still well to the southwest over Kentucky and will move through the forecast area [...]
