4/26/2020 8:00 AM 0.04 M M M M Another chilly day upcoming. 42 degrees at ob time and not expecting to get out of the upper 40's here today with additional rain. Wet week of weather coming up.
4/27/2020 8:00 AM 0.46 M M M M Another chilly day today with temperatures in the upper 40's under cloudy skies. Additional rains Wednesday night and Thursday.
4/28/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M
4/29/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M Mist and drizzle at obs time. A solid soaking over the next 24-36 hours. Ground already saturated. Flood watch posted for most of NJ. General 1.5 to 2.5" amounts but would not be surprised to see local event totals of 3-4" in spots. Looks drier and at least more seasonable over the weekend, maybe even a few degrees above normal. Good ensemble signal though for an overall cooler pattern into mid May. A few mild days early to mid next week will have to hold us until after mid month.
4/30/2020 8:00 AM 0.04 M M M M Shower with intense <1 minute downpour earlier this morning. Dense fog and some drizzle at ob. time.
5/1/2020 8:00 AM 1.27 M M M M Rainfall for April = 5.17". Snowfall for April = .10". Had traces of snow on 4 days and .10" on 1 day. Precipitation Y.T.D. = 13.58". Final snow total for 2019-20 season = 16.40". Had at least a trace of precipitation on 21 days in April. First half of May looks quite cool. Too bad we did not have this -AO/-NAO pattern in January, February or March. Would of been a heck of alot colder and snowier than it was.
5/2/2020 8:00 AM 0.12 M M M M A few very brief but intense downpours mid to late yesterday morning. Some nice weather coming up! Rainfall next 5-7 days looks minimal <.25" for most. A chance to dry out.
5/3/2020 8:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Don't get used to this mild / warm weather it ain't going to last! Will be stark contrast between this weekend and the upcoming weekend.
5/4/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Gradually cooling this week with a chilly weekend for early May coming up. Rainfall through Friday at least looks light - generally <.25". Some additional rainfall possible over the coming weekend.
5/5/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Quite chilly next 7-10 days with some COLD overnight lows. Around or just after mid month temperatures should warm and perhaps significantly. Until then not so much.
5/6/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool days and some cold nights coming up. Rainfall next 7-10 days on the light side. Generally .25" - .50". Still looking for significant warmup around or just after mid month.

5/8/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
5/9/2020 8:00 AM 0.57 0.4 M 0.3 M Melted precipitation last 24 hours .57". Snowfall total last 24 hours .4". Measurement taken just before sunrise. Snow depth at obs. time .3" due to some settling. Morning low temperature was 26.4 degrees. Change to snow took place around 10:30 last night. Winds picked up sharply, temperatures fell from near 40 to low 30's and rain switched to light to moderate snow. No snow accumulations on paved surfaces. Very impressive for May 8 - 9. Station elevation 960'.
5/10/2020 8:00 AM T T M M M Trace snow last 24 hours. Had numerous periods of flurries and light to even very briefly moderate snow showers from early afternoon through late afternoon yesterday. High temperature yesterday was 43. Low this morning was 30.
5/11/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
5/12/2020 8:00 AM 0.22 M M M M Brief but intense T-Shower yesterday afternoon. Period of hail (pea size to a bit smaller) and interesting in texture. Seemed soft almost like graupel. Only minimal "bouncing" when hitting the ground. Event was convective in nature with thunder and lightning. Almost looked like snow when falling. Did briefly whiten the grass / dirt areas. Temperature fell from 50 to 42 during the event. Still breezy and cold this morning.
5/13/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M ANOTHER cold morning. Overnight low temperature was 29 degrees. Windy and chilly yesterday. High was only 57. Has been some Spring so far. Yuck.
5/14/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Potential for chilly and unsettled period of weather early next week. Enjoy the warmth next several days. Chance for heavy rains, especially NNJ depending on how things unfold.
5/15/2020 8:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Still potential heavy rain threat early / mid next week especially for NNJ. Depending on how things eventually setup there is a threat for heavy to excessive rain event for parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. As of now axis of heaviest rain seems aimed from VA Piedmont up through central PA and into upstate NY. NJ looks to be on eastern extent but worth keeping an eye on. Some 1-2" totals still possible over parts of NNJ.
5/16/2020 8:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Rain showers overnight. Very warm day yesterday - high 82 degrees. Another warm day today m/u 70's expected. Back the other way starting tomorrow into early / mid week. Cooler, cloudy with periods of rain. Still looks like bulk of rain up to west of NJ but 1-2" possible, especially NNJ. Better weather to return by next weekend.
5/17/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Rain chances this week have been scaled way back. Most reliable guidance reversed course with 12Z cycle yesterday and that trend continued overnight. Moisture from TS Arthur stays well off coast and upper low digs deeper into the southeast Piedmont and heavy rain focus is now from western SC up into western VA. Most of NJ looks to see .25" - .50" amounts over the next 7-10 days. Shower chances do increase some for at least part of the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. Rough surf will be generated along the NJ coast from TS Arthur mid to late week. Temperatures this coming week look cooler than normal with onshore flow. Warmer temperatures return by late week into coming weekend.
5/18/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
5/19/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Little to no rainfall over NJ next 7 days or so. High pressure building south from eastern Canada and New England will keep rainfall well to our south. Rainfall of 4-6" with some locally higher amounts over SC/NC/VA Piedmont. Flooding problems likely. Meanwhile we stay high and dry.
5/20/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Showers Saturday could drop some .25"- .50" rain amounts. Beyond that looks like warming and drier pattern with next chance of decent rainfall during the first week of June.
5/21/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Only modest rainfall amounts expected across NJ over the next 7 days. Mostly in the .25 - .50" range and that comes later tomorrow and Saturday. Next week looks dry with warming temperatures. Next chances rainfall not until opening days of June.
5/22/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Showers and some T-Showers later today and Saturday. Most amounts in the .25" - .50" range. Dries out starting Sunday with a warming trend and temperatures next week likely to break 80 degrees with some mid 80's in the warmest locations. Next chance meaningful rains after this coming event not until next weekend or even a bit beyond.
5/23/2020 8:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Additional showers and T-showers across NJ today. Dries out overnight and dry pattern continues for the coming week. Warming temperatures with highs into the 80's mid and late week.
5/24/2020 8:00 AM 0.81 M M M M Much needed rainfall. Two day event total = .87". Drier pattern with significant warming trend for the coming week. Was out in the yard yesterday and some ornamental trees really took a hit from the early month hard freeze. Hope they recover. Japanese Split Leaf Maple and Rose of Sharon pretty much need to push new set of leaves.
5/25/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M Ground damp in spots. Nothing in gauge so listed as trace. To all those who served we Thank You. To all those families who lost someone our thoughts are with you today.
5/26/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very dense fog (about 1/8 mile visibility) earlier this morning. Think this is day 3 or 4 with low clouds and fog during the early morning.
5/27/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another morning with low clouds and fog. Turned sunny and warm yesterday with high temperature of 85. Showers and T-showers tomorrow afternoon, Friday and into early Saturday. Looks like below normal temperatures to open June.
5/28/2020 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Quick light shower earlier this morning.
5/29/2020 8:00 AM 0.11 M M M M On and off showers late morning into mid afternoon yesterday. Drizzle and mist at ob time.
5/30/2020 7:00 AM 0.28 M M M M T-Shower last evening. Little precipitation next 5-7 days. Rather dry looking pattern coming up with warming temperatures after a "cooler" opening day or so of June. Would not be surprised if at least parts of NJ appear on the Drought Monitor within the next 2-3 weeks with "Abnormal Dryness".
5/31/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool morning. Some mid 40's in the Sussex County usual cool spots per data from NJ WxNet. Might find a 38-39 degree reading up that way tomorrow morning. Low was 50 at my location this morning. May rainfall = 3.63" Precipitation Y.T.D. = 17.21". Snowfall May = .40" which brings seasonal 2019-20 total to 16.80". Dry period upcoming with warming temperatures.
6/1/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Chilly morning to open June. Had overnight low of 41 at my location. Per NJ WxNet low and mid 30's over the normally colder spots. Walpack 32, Sandyston 33, Pequest 35, Basking Ridge 38 just to name a few spots that bottomed out in the 30's. Temperatures made it to the low and mid 40's even at some coastal stations. Warmer and muggy mid and late week with showers and T-showers. Most amounts in the .25" - .50" range but as usual locally higher in showers / storms.
6/2/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
6/3/2020 8:00 AM 0.41 M M M M Overnight T-Showers. Decent signal for some nasty storms to cross NJ mid to late afternoon. Main threat is wind damage. Worth keeping an eye out.
6/4/2020 8:00 AM 0.21 M M M M Two periods of showers. First around noon. Second around 8:30 p.m. No wind, thunder or lightning with either. Two day rainfall = .62". I'll take it as ground was getting a bit dry. Violent squall line (Derecho) plowed across CNJ/SNJ late morning into early afternoon. Forward motion 50+ mph. Wind gusts peaked out at just above 90 mph. Rather rare very widespread event for NJ.
6/5/2020 8:00 AM 0.29 M M M M
6/6/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 M M M M
6/7/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Dry week of weather upcoming. Next rain / T-storm chances later Friday or next weekend. While no prolonged or extreme temperatures are in sight it will likely turn quite sultry and steamy mid to late week with deep southerly flow.
6/8/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
6/9/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Looks like rather dry pattern next 5-7 days. Any t-storms could bring locally heavier amounts but generally 1/2" or less amounts expected for most. Temperatures not abnormally hot - really rather pleasant. Humid mid-week will give way to lower humidity and more pleasant conditions by Friday and the weekend.
6/10/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Two hot, muggy and steamy days coming up for today and tomorrow before much drier air and more pleasant temps return for Friday and the weekend. Best chance showers and t-showers is tomorrow.
6/11/2020 8:00 AM 0.08 M M M M Shower last evening and again overnight. Still very warm and humid! Much drier and more pleasant air mass tomorrow and for the weekend. Very hot conditions will be building over the Plains and Mid-West next week. We'll see if it wants to head east at some point down the road. Not for the next 7-10 days at least.
6/12/2020 8:00 AM 0.22 M M M M Dry stretch of weather next 5-7 days. Most places <.25" rainfall over the next week. Drought monitor released yesterday shows large area of abnormal dryness over NE NYS and large part of central and northern New England. Possible parts of NJ show up with abnormal dryness within the next 1-2 weeks. Don't see any extreme or intense heat next 5-7 days, thankfully.
6/13/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M DRY! Best Med / LR guidance suggests <.25" rainfall for most NJ locations next 7-10 days. Coming week will feature warm days and pleasant nights with low to moderate levels of humidity for mid June. Some signal for few days of 90+ heat next weekend or early following week. In the meantime looks DRY and quiet.
6/14/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool morning across NJ. Per NJ WxNet Walpack bottomed out at 37. Numerous other temps across the state in the mid to upper 40's. Low temperature here was 47. DRY pattern to continue next 7-10 days. Warm days and pleasant nights though at least mid week. Temperatures will start to rise beyond that. Increasing signal for 90+ for at least a few days next weekend into early following week. Some op guidance is pretty aggressive with some mid 90's+. Ensembles are more muted as you would expect 7 days out. Little or no rainfall expected. Will have to wait until late week or next weekend for T-shower threat to increase. Lawns starting to fade in the sun.
6/15/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Dry pattern to continue this week with warming temperatures mid to late week. Meaningful rainfall looks scarce next 7 days. Still looks like some 90+ readings at least away from the coast by this weekend into early next week. Next few days will feature pleasant temperatures.
6/16/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another pleasant morning with temperatures in the mid 40's to mid 50's. Dry pattern continues with next slight chance showers Thursday and a little more widespread activity Friday afternoon into early Saturday. Generally light amounts but of course any t-showers could deliver locally higher amounts.
6/17/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another pleasant morning with temperatures mostly in the l/m 50's across NJ. Warmer and more humid conditions starting tomorrow and into the weekend. Guidance has backed off the 90+ weather for the weekend / early next week. Precipitation still looks light over the next 7 days or so. Any T-Showers could drop some heavier totals but rainfall for most over the next week looks to be in the .25" - .50" range. Getting dry and gardens and lawns will need irrigation.
6/18/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hoping for some locally heavier showers next few days. Still in dry pattern with most locations next 7 days .25 - .50". Drought monitor released this morning shows expanding dryness into southern New England and parts of Long Island. Depending on rainfall over coming week parts of NJ could show up as abnormally dry in the next release or two. Maybe some hope for more beneficial widespread rainfall last week of June.
6/19/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M Few drops of rain yesterday mid afternoon. Just happened to be outside or I would of missed it. Hoping for a heavier shower today or tomorrow. Overall dry pattern continues. Very warm and humid pattern next several days. Some of usual NJ hot spots could top 90 early to mid next week but mostly mid to upper 80's. Will continue to water the garden.
6/20/2020 8:00 AM 0.28 M M M M Had .28" in T-Shower last night about 9:00. Very welcome rainfall. If I could duplicate that later today I'd be happy. Very warm and humid pattern (not extreme heat) coming up next several days at least. No widespread rainfall events over the next 7 days but any T-Showers could produce some locally heavier totals.
6/21/2020 8:00 AM 0.12 M M M M Had T-Shower yesterday afternoon about 5:15. Per radar the heaviest rain moved from south to north just a short distance to my east. Morning rainfall reports confirm that. Just missed out on some heavier totals. I'll take what I can get though. Two day total = .40". Scattered showers across NJ next several days. Not real widespread coverage though. Most locations will see <.50" over the next 7 days. Some lucky spots will do better under heavier showers. Temperatures mostly in the m/u 80's with some local 90 degree readings in the usual hot spots early / mid week. Typical summer pattern.
6/22/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very warm and rather dry stretch of weather coming up this week into next weekend. Temperatures mostly in the m/u 80's daytime with some 90+ in the usual hot spots. Rainfall for most locations next 7 days mostly .25" or less. Only very local T-Showers will produce higher totals. Overall pattern is a dry one.
6/23/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Best chance for some heavier rainfall totals over next 5-7 days comes this evening into the overnight. Some locally heavier totals possible with T-Storms. Not for everyone but some spots will cash in. Drier pattern then returns for rest of the week with some additional T-Showers possible later Thursday / Thursday night. Hot day on Saturday with widespread 90+ looking likely but with moderate levels of humidity.
6/24/2020 8:00 AM 0.21 M M M M Had T-Shower about 10:00 last night. Overall dry pattern to continue. Rainfall next 7 days looks light (.25" - .50"). Temperatures over the weekend will spike into the lower 90's for many places. Humidity looks to be in the moderate range. Agriculture interests and home gardeners will need to keep watering!
6/25/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Keep watering! Not much rain coming up the next 7 days. Latest Drought Monitor released this morning still shows NJ with no issues. Moderate drought now indicated over large swath of New England with abnormal dryness getting closer to NJ over all of L.I. and parts of the Hudson Valley. Only isolated T-Showers in coming days so most places will see little or no rainfall into early next week at least.
6/26/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M Had sprinkle last night about 9:30. If I had not been sitting outside I would of missed it. Next chances at rainfall later tomorrow / tomorrow night. T-Storms likely and some will have heavy downpours. Not for everyone but for some. Some storms could approach severe limits. Abundance of clouds should keep temperatures from climbing much past the upper 80's to just over 90 in the hot spots.
6/27/2020 6:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Batch of showers / t-showers over CPA moving e.s.e. will tend to diminish as it approaches NJ but still chance some showers before 10 A.M. Showers / T-Storms likely during the afternoon and evening. SPC has slight risk severe over NJ. Some locally heavier rainfall totals for some places. Most likely over NNJ / CNJ. Anything is welcome. Additional chances around mid week. Warm and humid today / tomorrow. Humidity will be more moderate by Monday. No extended stretches of 90+ in sight. Early look at holiday weekend looks good.
6/28/2020 8:00 AM 0.11 M M M M Got shafted yesterday with rainfall across NNJ. Only had .11" in brief heavy shower early afternoon. Morning clouds and light showers cut into the instability. Nice swath of heavier totals across CNJ in more unstable air mass. Don't look for much rainfall in the coming 5-7 days. Very local T-showers could deliver some heavier totals but nothing widespread is expected. KEEP WATERING !
6/29/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M Shafted again yesterday with nothing but a "T". Had lots of company though. Hopefully mid-week showers / t-showers can deliver something. Overall a dry pattern to persist.
6/30/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hopefully some needed rainfall later today into tonight. Pattern overall through first week of July looks very warm to hot and rather dry. Only locally heavier T-showers will deliver the goods for some. Hot on Friday with upper 80's to low 90's for most but some mid 90's possible in the normal hot spots. Not as hot over the weekend with mid 80's to near 90. Best longer range guidance suggesting a warmer than normal July with average rainfall at best.
7/1/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Missed out on rainfall again yesterday. June rainfall = 1.94". Not the driest month I've ever seen but almost an inch of that fell during the first 5 days of the month so balance of month was very dry. Precipitation Y.T.D. = 19.15". Hopefully get some heavier showers today. Chances dwindle in the coming days with increasing heat. Overall pattern remains dry next week or so with indications of increasing heat (as in 90+) as we move though opening first two weeks of July. Keep watering! Signs point to dry pattern getting worse before it gets better.
7/2/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Goose egged again yesterday. No rainfall. Overall pattern continues to favor dry conditions with hot conditions developing. Latest Drought Monitor released this morning now shows parts of NE and SE NJ with abnormally dry conditions and with little rainfall expected over the next 7 days would expect to see expansion of those conditions next week. SPC has marginal risk for severe tomorrow over NJ. Some storms could drop some heavier rainfall but will be isolated and not expecting large aerial rainfall coverage. Large upper ridge building over lakes region will support significant heat over Mid-West and Ohio Valley and that will spill into the NE/MA from time to time next 2+ weeks.
7/3/2020 8:00 AM 0.11 M M M M Score! Was not much rainfall around NJ yesterday but one cluster moved over my location to dampen the dust. SPC has NJ in Marginal risk for severe today. Highest threat is over NNJ. Some strong winds and drenching downpours possible for some. Not expecting widespread coverage. Otherwise HOT pattern developing and overall looks to remain dry. Expecting developing drought conditions over NJ during month of July.
7/4/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another miss yesterday. Not a drop. Coming week of weather will be HOT and DRY. Building upper ridge over nations mid section will send surges of heat eastward over the coming week. T-Showers will be at a minimum until maybe later in the week. Expect dryness to intensify. Thirty day running total at this location = 1.43". Possible developing Sub-Tropical or Tropical Depression off southeast coast late week likely to stay far enough offshore to prevent any significant rainfall over MA/NE. Happy 4th!
7/5/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hot few days coming up. Upper 80's far NW to mid and some upper 90's central and south Jersey away from the coast. Rainfall through mid week will be isolated and minimal. Some interesting possibilities later in the week / next weekend. Possible sub-tropical / tropical depression development off the southeast coast. Genesis will be from stalled front along gulf coast up into the coastal southeast. Guidance suggesting this could drift north and affect the Mid-Atlantic / coastal Northeast with some synoptic scale rainfall. Days away but worth watching. Until then...hot and dry.
7/6/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Temperatures yesterday ranged from the upper 80's to mid 90's. Cooler coastal sections. Another hot day today. SPC has Marginal Risk severe for later today. Some local gusty storms could drop locally heavy rain. Guidance still suggesting synoptic scale rainfall possible later Friday into weekend with possible Sub-Tropical / Tropical depression moving up along or off east coast. Long ways off and details far from clear. Regardless, more clouds and onshore flow will beat back the heat although it will be humid as system (whatever it is) brings some tropical moisture north. Frontal system easing in from the west may also play into this. Bottom line door is open for some possible much needed rainfall by the weekend. We shall see how it all works out. Meantime some locally heavier totals possible today. I can tell you may garden is dry and my lawn is crispy.
7/7/2020 8:00 AM 0.10 M M M M You either got it yesterday or you didn't. Rainfall yesterday ranged from 0 to in excess of 3". Winds of 50-70 mph. Hail up to 1" diameter. High temperatures ranged from low 80's along the coast to some upper 90's over hottest inland locations. Isolated T-showers today with less aerial coverage and intensity than yesterday. Still watching possibility of sub-tropical / tropical depression lifting up along the MA/NE coast late week into early weekend. Track and development will dictate who gets rain and how much. Regardless, system will drag moisture laden tropical air mass northward with PW reaching to in excess of 2.25". Potential does exist for heavy local rainfall. Heat will back off some but humidity will be oppressive. Will be interesting to watch. Hope I can cash in on some rainfall!
7/8/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Showers / T-storms likely today. More aerial coverage and more intense than yesterday. Any of these storms can deliver locally heavier rain. Some torrential downpours possible along with very localized flooding. More important system will affect NJ Friday into Saturday. TPC has development (70%) of sub-tropical / topical system along NC coast. Guidance focusing on lifting this north or north-northeast toward Long Island by Saturday. Details on placement of heaviest rain to be determined. Gusty winds and some coastal (minor) flooding possible. Moisture rich tropical air mass will be drawn north. PW locally in excess of 2.5" possible, especially along and southeast of I95 corridor. Details to be worked out but some flooding rains for portions of NJ are possible. Stay tuned!
7/9/2020 8:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Missed out again on anything of substance here yesterday. Focus now turns to developing system off NC coast. TPC at 80% chance for sub-tropical / tropical depression status. Unlikely this developing system reaches TS status. Either way, the effects will be the same. Exact track and placement of max axis of rainfall still not clear. Moisture rich tropical air mass will be pulled north with max axis of moisture near and east if I95 corridor. Will be very warm and VERY humid next several days. Minor coastal flooding likely and winds gusting to 35-45 mph along immediate coastal locations. Rainfall amounts of 1-2" most likely NW of I95 and 2 to up to locally 4" possible southeast of I95. Still have to keep an eye that heavier totals might expand to the NW. T-Storms still likely Saturday as air mass remains moisture laden and lift from a front to the NW presses into NJ. Meanwhile, expansive heat ridge developing over the nations mid section will intensify the developing heat wave over the southern plains into the mid-west. For now the most extreme heat should remain west of MA and NE but surges of heat will affect the area and it will be HOT and humid well into next week. Most reliable guidance suggests above normal temperatures will persist past mid month. Sultry period coming up for a large part of the country.
7/10/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M Few sprinkles at obs time. TPC went right to TS status on FAY with first advisory issued yesterday at 5pm. Fay is currently located about 80 miles SSE of Cape May and is tracking on average just east of due north at about 10 mph. On this track Fay will scrape by along or just east of the NJ coast as it heads up to western Long Island. Rainfall totals across NJ will be maximized over the eastern 1/3 of the state. Lesser amounts NW counties along the Delaware. It is possible that orographic lift enhances rainfall NW but will have to wait and see on that. Local rainfall amounts 4-6" possible with most spots 2-3". Winds will GUST to TS force (35-45 mph) along the beaches. Minor coastal flooding expected. Showers / T-storms tomorrow in leftover very moist air mass with front pressing in from NW. Beyond all this we will be left with a HOT and HUMID weather pattern well into next week. Drought Monitor issued yesterday has northern 1/2 NJ abnormally dry. Rains next 24 hours should wipe that out at least in the short term.
7/11/2020 8:00 AM 3.31 M M M M Much needed rainfall last 24 hours! Fay tracked up just inland of the NJ coast after making landfall near Little Egg Harbor yesterday afternoon. By 11 pm it was centered over eastern Bergen County. Highest NJ rainfall total I saw was South Harrison with 6.23" per NJ WxNet. Most wind GUSTS along the immediate beaches were in the 40-45 mph range. Sea Girt reported a gust to 57 mph. Potential exists for additional local heavy rainfall later today as frontal system and potent upper air feature push into residual very moist airmass. Showers and T-Storms could be locally heavy and produce local flooding. Best chances for heavy rain over northern 1/2 of NJ. Additional periods of unsettled weather this coming week with persisting hot and humid conditions. The most extreme heat will remain out of NJ this coming week but it will still be very uncomfortable. Intense heat wave will be taking hold over a large part of the nations mid section.
7/12/2020 8:00 AM 0.32 M M M M Had two periods of brief but intense downpours yesterday. Additional showers and T-storms late tonight and on Monday. Monday storms could be locally severe with gusty winds and some torrential downpours. No prolonged extreme heat is expected across NJ this week. Daytime temperatures mostly in the upper 80's to low 90's for most.
7/13/2020 8:00 AM 0.17 M M M M Late evening showers produced .17". Heat continues to build over large part of the nations mid section and the south. Decent signal that a piece of that heat surges into the MA / NE by the weekend and early next week. As for rainfall next shot at something is later this week Thursday / Friday. Chance showers today has gone by the boards.
7/14/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Pleasant morning with low humidity and sunny skies. Heat will be spreading into the Mid-West / Lakes next few days and will reach the MA / NE this weekend into next week. Temperatures will be in the upper 80's to low 90's Saturday and then into the 90's for most places Sunday into a good chunk of next week. Rainfall next 7 days will depend on showers / storms. Some locations could remain rather dry for the next week, others will do better. Best chance rainfall is Thursday night into Friday. Heat is taking longer to arrive than I expected but it is coming.
7/15/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Heat will build into the MA / NE by Saturday and continue into next week. Monday looks to be the hottest day with some NJ urban centers in the m/u 90's. Rainfall totals next 7 days looks light overall and will be driven by local showers / storms, typical of summer. Next best chance Thursday night into Friday.
7/16/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Temperatures and humidity will be on the rise starting tomorrow into next week. By Monday temperatures in the I95 urban corridor could take a run at the upper 90's. Heat index readings seem poised to top out near or a few degrees over 105 in the hottest spots. Heat Advisories will likely be issued for later this weekend into early next week. Rainfall chances will be limited to showers later tonight and local storms tomorrow afternoon. After that next chances not until mid next week. Temperatures and rainfall at that time will depend on proximity of frontal system draped across the MA / NE. At this point heat looks to ease by Wednesday with rainfall chances. If the front were to remain to our north then a hotter / drier patter would persist. Temperatures for July so far across NJ are running 2-3 degrees above normal. The above normal temperature pattern looks to persist for the balance of the month. Overnight lows Sunday and Monday may only dip to the upper 70's over NJ urban centers. HHH days ahead.
7/17/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M Fog, mist and drizzle ongoing at obs time. Showers / storms expected later this afternoon for some locations. Nothing widespread but any of them could produce some locally heavy rain. Other than that the big weather story will be the heat and humidity starting tomorrow into next week. Excessive heat warnings and heat advisories are posted for a large portion of the Mid-West and that air is mass is coming east. Excessive heat watches are posted for most of NJ for the coming days. Peak will be on Monday when local temperatures could take a run at 100 in some of the hottest spots and heat index readings could peak near 105 or even a bit higher. Rainfall will be rather limited during this time with only very localized storms possible.
7/18/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M Trace from ongoing mist and drizzle that ended shortly after obs time yesterday. Hot and humid next 4 days with temperatures falling down a few notches mid and late week. Rainfall through at least mid week will be very limited and confined to very isolated showers / storms. Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories posted across NJ. Going to be nasty and dangerously hot especially in urban centers with Heat Index readings reaching to locally over 105 and some overnight lows falling just barely below 80. Temperatures Wednesday through end of the week will fall back to mid to upper 80's NW to upper 80's to near 90 elsewhere. Keep cool!
7/19/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Was hot day yesterday across NJ but RH was tolerable. That will change today and tomorrow. With highs m/u 90's for most locations (except far NW and immediate coast) and HI readings near or just over 100. Worst HI readings tomorrow with 105-110 urban corridor. Best chances rainfall mid week (Wed / Thur) as front sinks though the area. Some locally heavy downpours possible. Front will knock back temps and humidity but above normal temps likely for balance of July. EURO suggesting additional m/u 90's by next weekend. POSSIBLE more widespread rain for last week of the month.
7/20/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very hot day yesterday with only beaches and far NW NJ not reaching 90+. Most highs across the state yesterday were m/u 90's. Pretty much same today with HI readings a bit higher than than yesterday. Peaking near or just over 105 along the urban corridor. Next chance for widespread showers / storms Wednesday / Thursday. Some locally heavier totals possible with those but not for everyone. Overall pattern looks to remain very warm to hot with temperatures struggling to just fall back to what is normal for this time of year.
7/21/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Heat index levels slightly under performed yesterday but it was still hot enough. Some of the hottest readings were right along the NJ beaches. Max temperatures were mostly in the m/u 90's with some heat index readings around 105 in some locations. Only far NW NJ struggled to reach near 90. Overall very warm to hot and muggy pattern will continue for balance of the month. There will be chances for some locations to pickup some locally heavier rainfall totals over the next few days but will be localized. Not the hottest pattern I've ever seen but will be persistent with upper 80's to mid 90's at times for balance of the month.
7/22/2020 8:00 AM 0.22 M M M M A welcome overnight shower. SPC has all of NJ in slight risk of severe for later today. Any storms could produce strong winds and torrential downpours. Certainly not for everyone but some severe weather seems likely for parts of NJ this evening into early overnight hours. Some local flooding possible in heaviest downpours. Otherwise hot and humid pattern to persist. Upper 80's to mid and even some upper 90's next 7 days with higher heat index readings. Heat advisories will be common over the next week. Again, not the hottest pattern I've ever seen but will be persistent.
7/23/2020 8:00 AM 0.58 M M M M Some additional much needed rainfall yesterday. Nothing severe here. Just a regular summer T-Shower. Some places had in excess of 2" and some places had next to nothing. Some hail and high winds reported across NJ. SPC has NNJ in slight chance severe today. There could be some strong to severe storms with locally heavy rain and gusty winds. Best chances northern 1/2 of state. Remaining very warm / hot and muggy into tomorrow. Temperatures and humidity will fall back for Saturday but then start to rise again by Sunday. The period Sunday through mid next week will feature more oppressive heat and humidity. Once again HI readings will take a run at 105 or even a little higher. Heat advisories likely to be posted again. Rainfall as is typical will depend on local showers. No large scale synoptic events next 5-7 days.
7/24/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Just some sprinkles here last 24 hours. Some places got drenched with 2-3", especially Middlesex County. Best chances for some heavier rainfall today central and especially south Jersey. Focus now turns back to excessive heat. Just warm and humid today. Temperatures will rise to upper 80's to just over 90 some places tomorrow. Sunday into Wednesday of next week temperatures and heat index readings will surge once again. Highs in the mid to some upper 90's and HI readings near or just over 105. Heat advisories and warnings will be issued again. Rainfall during this time will be very limited. Next chance more widespead showers later Tuesday or Wednesday with frontal passage that will knock temperatures back closer to normal. More hot weather before then!
7/25/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Main theme of the weather across NJ next 5 days will be heat, humidity and little rainfall. Sunday through Tuesday will be the hottest days with temperatures into the mid to upper 90's along the urban corridor. Heat index readings 100-105. A frontal system will press through the area Wednesday with showers / storms and then a much drier air mass will settle across NJ for later next week. Will still be very warm with m/u 80's to near 90 in spots but humidity will be much more tolerable.
7/26/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hot and humid pattern through mid week. Pattern is also a dry one. Next chance widespread showers / storms Tuesday night and Wednesday with front pressing through NJ. Does not look like an overly robust situation. Rainfall for most this week looks to be minimal. Will take a while for front to clear NJ but it should and somewhat "less hot" weather but with much lower humidity should end the week and continue into next weekend. Temperatures from Thursday into the coming weekend should range into the mid 80's to right around 90....still on the hot side but with lower humidity it should not feel as uncomfortable.
7/27/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
7/28/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
7/29/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After not much to comment on last few days, except for the heat and humidity which had been beaten like a rented mule the focus now turns to possible soaking rain threat in the coming 5-7 day period. Has been dry for most since T.S. Fay so rains will be welcome. Totals from late weekend into early next week could top 3" in spots. It also remains to be seen how developing T.S. Isaias down over the Caribbean factors into all this. Seems destined to tangle with Haiti/Dom Rep. so that should keep system weak as it rounds the ridge and heads toward FL or the GOM. With trough developing over the eastern third of the U.S. next week quite possible that at least moisture from Isaias gets drawn northward. Even without that added into the mix looks like decent rain event late weekend / early next week.
7/30/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Potentially heavy rains over next several days across NJ. Exactly how much rain falls will depend on future track and development of now T.S. Isaias. Regardless of what Isaias does seems like 1-3" amounts across NJ in the period starting later tonight and tomorrow and then again Sunday / Monday. Potential rains from Isaias would then add to that early next week depending on track. Recent trends seem to favor a track up along or east of the FL east coast then up along or off the eastern seaboard. There are still some op and ensemble tracks over or west of NJ but they seem like the outliers at the moment. Once Isaias clears Hispaniola over the next 24-36 hours we should have a better idea on track and future intensity. Needless to say Isaias or not some needed rains coming for NJ next several days.
7/31/2020 8:00 AM 0.52 M M M M A much needed .52" rainfall overnight. A swath of 1-2"+ amounts fell from across Hunterdon, Somerset and Middlesex Counties. Rainfall for the month at my station = 5.36". Rains from T.S. Fay on the 11th accounted for 3.31" of that total. Temperatures across NJ for July ranged from about 3 degrees above normal at Newark and around 4 degrees above at Trenton and ACY (Airport location). Will await final summary from NJ WxNet (Rutgers) to see how this July ranked in terms of the warmth. Some stations did way better than my 5.36" so suspect overall the month will go down as quite wet when averaged out across the state. Additional heavy to possibly excessive rainfall totals over next 3-5 days. Much will depend on future track, speed and intensity of now Hurricane Isaias. Additional totals of 2-4", maybe locally more seem possible Sunday through early Wednesday. In addition to track some other factors are not clear: How will Isaias interact with nearby frontal zone and how might that enhance rainfall and will upper level dynamics serve to possibly enhance wind speeds as Isaias moves up along or off the NJ coast. Stay tuned.
8/1/2020 6:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rainfall last 24 hours but significant rainfall totals are expected during the Sunday afternoon to early Wednesday time period. Hurricane Isaias will move up along or just off the FL east coast Sunday then continue NNE to NE up along the U.S. eastern seaboard Monday through Wednesday. Center expected to pass very close to NJ coastline. TS force wind GUSTS expected along the coast along with minor to moderate beach erosion and coastal flooding. Near full moon will aid in these conditions. Winds inland will not be significant. Showers / T-Storms Sunday afternoon / evening (not associated with Isaias) could produce LOCALLY heavy totals. Rains directly associated with Isaias will overspread the area Monday night and Tuesday. Rainfall amounts for the period ending Wednesday could locally exceed 4" in spots. Exact placement on heaviest totals associated with Isaias at this point look to be along the I95 corridor. Meanwhile for the fist time in quite a while overnight lows have fallen into the upper 50's over far NW NJ this morning! Needless to say will be short lived as very warm to hot and humid conditions will be returning especially starting tomorrow into Tuesday / Wednesday period. LOVE THE NEW MAPPING OPTIONS!
8/2/2020 8:00 AM 0.11 M M M M Main weather focus across NJ next 72 hours will be possibility of heavy to excessive rainfall. Locally heavy rainfall expected for today, not associated with Isaias. Major convective burst ongoing with T.S. Isaias at this hour with cloud tops near -90C. Radar data from Miami shows decent eye wall associated with Isaias, just open to the west. Satellite data shows banding trying to develop NW quad so Isaias may be strengthening. Water is very warm near (30C), and storm motion is slow. Were it not for modest shear and some mid level dry air Isaias would have the potential to rapidly deepen. I'm thinking track will be just offshore FL east coast. Center might cross the coast for a time near the Space Center but in general should hug the coast or be just offshore. Track will then continue NNE to NE (landfall mid coast SC) then continue NE and pass up across NJ. Main threat for NJ will be heavy to possibly excessive rainfall. Wind GUSTS to TS force expected along the coast. Minor to moderate beach erosion is expected. Full moon will aid in the coastal flooding situation. Isaias will be moving quickly so erosion and coastal flooding should not get out of hand. Upper dynamics will aid in keeping Isaias stronger than it might otherwise would of been. Strongest winds will be along and east of eventual track. Heaviest rains will be along and just west of the track. Again, upper dynamics and a stalled / slow moving front in the area will enhance rainfall. Track guidance has nudged westward since yesterday so axis of heaviest rain may well be over western 1/3 of NJ. Other thing to keep eye on is if this more western track forecast holds winds could gust to TS force over more inland parts of NJ. With saturated ground, and s.e. winds tress / power lines would be vulnerable. Some suggestion off latest op Euro (6z) that winds over inland NJ could gust over 50 mph over a large area. Again, upper dynamics playing a part in potentially keeping Isaias more robust.
8/3/2020 8:00 AM 0.38 M M M M Main focus for NJ weather next 36 hours will be T.S. Isaias. Concerns raised yesterday about inland wind threat may well be realized. Track of Isaias will more or less bisect NJ from SW to NE Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening per latest TPC track. Landfall expected near the NC/SC border tomorrow afternoon then NNE - NE from there. Actual track has been running slightly east of TPC track and would not be surprised if this trend continued and ultimate track of Isaias could be along or just offshore NJ. Rainfall totals next 36 hours or so could exceed 5" in spots. Max rainfall totals along and NW of I95 with western and especially NW counties at highest risk of 5"+ totals. Minor to moderate coastal flooding and beach erosion expected. Surge on the order of 1-3' along ocean front. Winds could GUST to 70 mph+ along the immediate coast and quite possible gusts over inland sections could reach or exceed 50 mph for a time. Some of the latest guidance is very bullish with wind speeds. With saturated ground and high winds tree and power line damage is real threat. Favorable upper air dynamics will aid in keeping Isaias an efficient rain and wind producer as he tracks through the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Flash Flood watches and T.S. Warnings are posted. Flash Flooding and even some minor to perhaps moderate river flooding is possible depending on where max rainfall axis finally sets up. Only saving grace is that Isaias will be moving at an increasing forward speed. Even so will be a stormy 12 hour or so period for NJ.
8/4/2020 8:00 AM 1.11 M M M M Isaias was finally able to close off an eye wall in the hours just before landfall and re-strengthened back to a hurricane before coming ashore over southeast NC just after 11pm. As of this hour Isaias is racing across southeast Va heading toward the Del-Mar-Va. Classic PRE (predecessor rain event) ongoing across PA, NY and EXTREME western NJ and all the way to the Canadian border. Moderate to heavy rainfall falling hundreds of miles away from the T.S. Without a doubt max rainfall totals from this will be over the western 1/3 of NJ. Rainfall totals over eastern 1/3 of NJ will be around 1" going forward. The 3-4" storm totals will be confined to the counties along the Delaware River. Winds will be the major concern of the day. GUSTS along the coast could top 70 mph. Inland GUSTS to 40-60 mph. Power outages expected. Coastal flooding from surge (1-3') should be minor and beach erosion should also be held in the minor category. Isaias will be racing through NJ and this rapid forward motion should keep things in check as far as coastal flooding/erosion. No widespread or significant river flooding is expected across NJ at this time. Isaias will race from SW to NE across NJ from later morning into early afternoon followed by a rapid reduction in rainfall and wind. Skies will be clearing before sunset. Again, main effects locally very heavy rainfall western counties and widespread wind event during the late morning into the afternoon hours.
8/5/2020 7:00 AM 3.18 M M M M Total two day rainfall = 4.29". Wind damage and associated power outages from Isaias every bit as predicted and then some. Lost power here at 1:00 p.m. yesterday. Still out. Wind gusts were numerous in the 65-75 mph range along the coast and inland 40-60 mph gusts were widespread. Best estimate for wind gusts here was around 50-55 mph and this location is rather exposed and at an elevation of just over 1000'. Rainfall totals were heavy with max event totals over western NJ. Coastal flooding and erosion seems to have been minor. Isaias tracked up across eastern PA / Western NJ then to near Albany. Tropics look quiet as pattern becomes unfavorable next 10-14 days before another uptick as we approach peak season as conditions look to become favorable again. Best to all who have lost power....I feel your pain!
8/6/2020 6:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Thankfully is was a pleasant day yesterday with low humidity and a breeze for those with no power. Power restored here overnight. Thank you to all those on the front lines doing the cleanup and restoration. According to media reports power outages across NJ with Isaias were exceeded only by Irene and Sandy. Clouds and showers / storms today and tomorrow. Mostly SNJ today then statewide tonight and tomorrow. Some locally heavy rainfall possible, especially south and Central. To those still without power - hang in there!
8/7/2020 8:00 AM 0.16 M M M M Showers at some point overnight or early this morning. Additional showers / storms later this afternoon into evening. Some could produce gusty winds and heavier downpours. Next shot at significant rainfall later Tuesday into Wednesday of next week associated with cold front. Will turn very warm / hot muggy ahead of front then more pleasant air mass to follow for later next week. Tropics to remain quiet next 10 days or so but pattern looks to become more favorable as we work through 3rd week August. If latest CSU and NOAA updated forecasts are to verify there will be a frenzy of activity from late August into October. That is not to say all are going to affect land but if forecast verifies it sure ups the ante for U.S. threats.
8/8/2020 8:00 AM 0.18 M M M M Brief but heavy T-Shower last evening. Next chance widespread shower / T-Showers mid week. Very warm to hot and humid into mid week but hopefully a front will make it through Wednesday night or early Thursday to knock temps and humidity back a bit. Tropics to remain quiet for the coming week to 10 days. No extreme or prolonged heat and humidity looming on the horizon.
8/9/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Surge of heat and humidity next few days. Hottest along urban corridor with highs low to possible mid 90's tomorrow/Tuesday. Weak front should knock temperatures and humidity back for mid/late week. Still on the warm and humid side though. Showers likely with front later Wednesday and Thursday.
8/10/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hot and humid today and tomorrow. Weak cold front will approach the area later Wednesday / Wednesday night then stall and slowly dissipate across NJ late week / weekend. Temperatures will fall off Wednesday and beyond but humidity will remain. Showers / T-Showers scattered around later Wednesday with front. Beyond that possible wet pattern setting up for a few days as waves of low pressure and developing mid/upper level trof is forecast to develop over the eastern U.S. Details unclear but possible some heavier rain totals show up later this week into at least early part of weekend. Tropics remain quiet for at least the coming week...at least as far as anything getting a name.
8/11/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another hot and very muggy day. Temperatures will be a notch lower tomorrow but still very muggy. Guidance has trended drier with possible larger scale rainfall later this week and into start of weekend. Showers / T-storms still expected later tomorrow and through later half of the week. Any of these could still drop locally heavier totals. In the meantime typical mid August temperatures and humidity for balance of the week.
8/12/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another very muggy morning to be followed by another very oppressive day. Temperatures will be down a few notches from yesterday but still high heat indexes will make for a very sultry day. Flash Flood watches up for all but NW and SE. With front stalled across the state and moisture rich air mass any storms that form could unload some heavy rains. Not for everyone but some will get soaked.
8/13/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After an oppressively humid day yesterday with scattered showers and storms today will be more tolerable but still uncomfortable. Temperatures will be below normal for most spots but dp's will remain in the low 70's so it will still feel quite muggy but not as bad as yesterday. Showers and storms will again be around during the mid and late afternoon...any of them could produce locally heavy totals. Best chances CNJ / SNJ. A more widespread rainfall event possible Sunday. Temperatures for the next week or so 80's daytime and 60's / low 70's overnight.
8/14/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Some big rain totals CNJ/SNJ yesterday. Not everyone, but some locations got drenched. Next chance showers / storms Sunday. Does not look widespread or heavy. Beyond that drier pattern with pleasant temps and humidity into next week. A very respectable higher latitude blocking pattern vicinity Greenland to over the pole will provide this welcome relief through next week. We're done with the 90+ max temperatures and 70+ DP's over the next 7-10 days. Some feeble tropical systems out over the Atlantic but nothing that warrants any concern for the U.S.
8/15/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Showers / T-Showers tomorrow will be maximized over the southern 1/3 of NJ. Amounts will fall off sharply as you go north across the state. Little or no rainfall far NNJ. Main weather headlines this coming week will be the lack of mid August heat. Temperatures will be on the pleasant side with low to moderate levels of humidity. It will also be dry with minimal to no rainfall after tomorrow. Western NJ received hefty totals from T.S. Isaias early in the month but eastern NJ did not and as a result where local T-Storms have been absent it is starting to get dry again. New England is very dry with moderate drought over a large area. Possible parts of NJ develop some "abnormal dryness" in the coming week or two. Tropics this morning feature two named storms. Josephine which is starting to choke on dry air and Kyle a naked swirl with westerly shear pushing all the convection east of the center. We may be on the "K" storm but all these storms have been very low "ACE" producers. As upper level ridge shifts to the west coast intense heat will develop there and California will likely be facing rolling blackouts to save the power grid. I guess 2020 rolls on!
8/16/2020 7:00 AM 0.16 M M M M Light rain ongoing at obs time. Initial batch of rainfall made it further north than expected overnight so rain is falling over all of NJ this morning. Totals still expected to max out over southern 1/3 of the state and perhaps along the coast of CNJ as low pressure lifts offshore. Amounts should range from near .50" north of Rt. 78 to 2 or maybe 3" far south. Next significant rainfall threat after today would be at some point next weekend. T.S. Kyle and Josephine are just about done. Two new disturbances are now being monitored by TPC. Euro EPS seems interested in the lead system. Worth watching for sure in the days ahead as it moves W to WNW.
8/17/2020 8:00 AM 0.22 M M M M Had .22" last 24 hours and two day event total of .38". Rainfall event under performed over SNJ with just a few scattered two day totals of 1"+ mainly along coastal sections. Very pleasant morning with low dp's and temperatures in the 50's and 60's. Very nice for mid August. Atmospheric conditions over the main development region in the tropics are becoming primed for some possible significant developments over next 7-10 days. Increasing support among EURO EPS members for system heading towards or into Caribbean later this week. Could be gulf threat down the road. In the meantime rather quiet weather across NJ this week with pleasant temps and humidity. Warmer and more humid again by the weekend.
8/18/2020 8:00 AM 0.80 M M M M Had two T-storms last 24 hours 7pm yesterday (.29") and 2am (.51"). Was pleasant mid August day yesterday and another on tap for today with low humidity. Dry stretch of weather with comfortable temperatures for balance of this week. Warmer and more humid by the weekend. Tropics have two systems poised for development over the next 5 days. Either or both could pose threat to U.S. down the road. Most interested in "98L" feature. Lead system "97L" will be slower to develop and could remain at lower latitude.
8/19/2020 8:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Light shower just before daybreak. Additional showers / T-Showers around today. Turning very warm and humid again by the weekend. Nothing horrendous or long lasting. Tropics continue to simmer....just a matter of time before the lid comes off the pot.
8/20/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Dry pattern with a warming trend over the next 5-7 days. A generally dry pattern for the next 5-7 days with temperatures and humidity creeping back up over the weekend and into next week. Possible some mid 90's show up in the urban corridor by next week. In general a quiet typical late summer pattern as far as NJ is concerned. TD #13 formed last evening and TD #14 likely to be designated later today or tonight. Both pose some threat to the United States. TD #13 future intensity will depend largely on if it can avoid interaction with Haspaniola /Cuba and how it interacts with drier mid / upper level atmosphere to the north of the track. Shear looks to remain low and water is very warm. General track is toward south FL and / or GOM so needs to be watched. Future intensity biggest question and guidance is varied to say the least.
8/21/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Main theme of weather across NJ for the coming 5-7 days will be a surge of late summer heat and humidity starting over the weekend and into next week. Low to some mid 90's possible as heat peaks mid next week. Sunday through Wednesday look to be the hottest of the days with upper 80's to low 90's with moderate levels of humidity. Trends pointing to nice refreshing air mass (almost mid / late September like) to close August and open September. Rainfall across NJ will be light over the next week. Moderate to some severe drought covers most of New England and parts of NJ could pop into the "abnormally dry" category by next Drought Monitor issuance. TD #13 and #14 struggling but conditions down the road look to be more favorable for development. Much will depend on land interaction over the next 2-3 days as to what future intensity might be. Regardless, both poised to affect the Gulf coast to some degree by mid next week. Stay tuned. Threat of both reaching hurricane intensity before landfall.
8/22/2020 6:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Muggy and warm across NJ this morning. Temperatures near 60 far NW "cool" spots to some mid 70's far south. Generally very warm to hot and humid conditions into middle of coming week. Rainfall chances minimal and will depend on local showers / storms. Next chance more widespread rainfall looks to be centered around next weekend. High temperatures generally upper 80's to low 90's through next Wed/Thur. Some mid 90's possible urban corridor. Cooler temperatures late week into next weekend. TS Laura will track over Hispaniola and Cuba next few days and this will hinder development. Depending on condition of circulation upon entering the GOM conditions look favorable for intensification, perhaps significant. TS Marco will have to battle increasing moderate to strong shear once to western Gulf so landfall as hurricane at this time seems unlikely. Locally heavy rainfall though for parts of Texas coast. TS Laura at this point seems like the higher threat for potential more serious problems Tx/La coast.
8/23/2020 8:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Had .01" late afternoon yesterday as dying T-Storm passed over. Temperatures were in the mid 80's to just over 90 for most of NJ yesterday with some upper 70's and low 80's where sea breezes took over. This pattern will continue for the coming week, still some mid 90's possible urban corridor mid to late week. More refreshing air mass by later Friday and into the coming weekend. Pattern overall is dry and only locally heavier showers and storms will give any totals of substance. Best chances Friday into Saturday with frontal passage. SPC has Tuesday outlined for possible severe so could be isolated heavier totals then. T.S. Marco is a sheared system but could still briefly attain hurricane intensity before making landfall on the LA coast tomorrow afternoon. The bigger story is TS Laura. Much will depend on what condition the inner core is in when it exits near western Cuba Monday night / early Tuesday. The circulation and satellite presentation is very robust and has the "look" of trouble down the road. Central TX coast to SW LA needs to pay attention. The more reliable guidance is quite aggressive with potential major hurricane landfall later this coming week. Again, much will depend on the condition of the inner core upon departure from Cuba. Water over GOM is very warm and environment looks favorable. Hopefully this does not end up being the next major news story of 2020.
8/24/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another very warm to hot and humid day on tap today and tomorrow. Temperatures will get knocked back a bit on Wednesday but then heat and humidity return Thursday into Friday. Chance local showers / storms today and more widespread activity tomorrow...some of those seem poised to be severe with high winds and local heavy downpours the main threat. Additional widespread showers / storms Friday into Saturday and those may be associated with remnant moisture from "Laura". Marco briefly reached hurricane status for a time yesterday afternoon but shear made quick work of that and Marco is a very sheared system this morning and it will move along the LA coast today with heavy rains and gusty winds. Laura poised to be the big ticket item next several days. Center tracking along south coast of Cuba today, just offshore and will emerge into GOM late tonight. Chances increasing for a hurricane and perhaps a major one to impact upper TX and SW LA coasts. This could be a big ticket item. Very warm/deep water and favorable atmosphere should allow for some rapid intensification. Some signals from EURO EPS that another system "Nana" could be designated around the end of the month over the MDR.
8/25/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M Had Trace rainfall from dying T-shower last evening. SPC has enhanced risk severe today CNJ/SNJ. Main threat is wind damage and there is likely to be some. Showers / storms with less chance severe NNJ but needs to be watched. Warm and muggy day. Nicer weather day tomorrow with lower temps and humidity. Heat and humidity return Thursday and Friday along with additional chances showers / storms. Especially NNJ on Thursday. Another front will affect the area later Friday into Saturday with remnant moisture from Laura associated with it. Best rains with that feature seem aimed for SNJ. Lots to watch next several days. Laura just upgraded to a hurricane. Expect some rapid intensification over the next 24-36 hours. Growing concern for major hurricane landfall on the Texas coast. EURO and its EPS have not budged last several runs with track aimed more or less toward Galveston / Houston. TPC nudged their track left at 5AM but may need more adjustment later today and tonight. Near and to the right of where the center crosses the coast will have the most severe conditions. Best case is it comes in near TX/LA border and worst case just to the SSW of Houston. Serious situation could be in the making if some of the current trends continue. Likely to be mass evacuations ordered. Worried this becomes the next headline maker of 2020.
8/26/2020 8:00 AM 0.09 M M M M Had .09" last 24 hours associated with dying T -Shower moving quickly through. Great late August day today with low humidity and pleasant temperatures - upper 70's to low 80's over NNJ and l/m 80's south. Showers, storms and humidity return tomorrow as warm front lifts north. Additional showers / storms with cold front and Laura remnants Friday night and Saturday. Laura has intensified rapidly last 24 hours and morning satellite pictures are extremely impressive. TPC now forecasting peak intensity at low end Cat 4. Track guidance has stabilized and converged and Laura now looks poised to make landfall near the TX / LA border. Port Arthur and Beaumont TX will take direct hit but worse case scenario for Galveston and Houston seems to have been avoided. Tremendous surge of 9-15' near and to the right of where center cross coast. Fortunately not a dense population center, mostly marsh land. Numerous oil refineries will take hard hit. Hurricane force winds will extend well inland. Will be a very bad situation but not what could of happened if landfall was vicinity of Galveston / Houston. Would of been SO MUCH worse. Once remnants of Laura clear the east coast later Saturday fair and pleasant weather will prevail for a few days.
8/27/2020 8:00 AM 0.16 M M M M Had .16" in predawn T-Shower. Was nice day yesterday with low humidity and pleasant temperatures. Highs far NW made it to just over 70 with l/m m 80's across the rest of the state. Very warm / hot and humid today with showers / storms this afternoon into evening. SPS has NNJ in enhanced chances for severe. Hurricane Laura made landfall about 06Z (as strong Cat 4) on SW LA coast near Cameron. One has to wonder what will be left of that small town, if anything. Just hope nobody decided to stay and ride it out, they very likely did not make it as entire town would of been under at least 12 feet of water with waves on top of that. Luckily worst of the surge occurred over marsh land. Lake Charles also went through the eye with gusts to near 140 mph. Laura intensified right up until landfall and thus made landfall at peak intensity, something that is fairly rare for major landfalling Gulf hurricanes but has been less rare over the last 5 years. She joins just a handful of hurricanes with that distinction. Laura enhanced rainfall should affect NJ later Friday into Saturday.
8/28/2020 8:00 AM 0.14 M M M M Had .14" in early evening T-Shower. Additional showers / storms later today, tonight and into Saturday as remnants of Laura pass by and a cold front pushes through. Some locally heavy totals seem likely. Another round of showers / storms early next week. Just wanted to add TPC did amazing job in forecasting Hurricane Laura landfall. Their 84 hour forecast had essentially zero error for landfall location. EURO and EPS was consistently more westward. GFS locked on better once it adjusted west after being initially too far east. Great job by TPC. Intensity forecast was more of a challenge. Certainly guidance suggested the upper limit could be impressive and it was.
8/29/2020 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M Have had .21" rainfall last 24 hours. Quick moderate shower just ended at obs time. Currently just light rain. Additional showers / storms today. Some locally heavy. All of this clears the coast by evening and much less humid and cooler air mass for tomorrow and Monday. Additional showers / storms by Tuesday into mid-week. Most of NJ should be well watered over the next week or so. Temperatures not far from normal with perhaps a cool shot late next week / weekend.
8/30/2020 8:00 AM 0.11 M M M M Rainfall August = 7.06". Rainfall Y.T.D. = 31.57". Bulk of rainfall for August fell during first week of the month with T.S. Isaias. Second week was bone dry. Remaining two weeks of the month featured frequent light amounts. Rainfall this coming week looks to be modest but locally heavier amounts are possible. Temperatures look pleasant. Temperature atop Mt. Washington this morning is 35 degrees with a windchill of 9....Fall is coming.
8/31/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool morning over NJ, especially NNJ and CNJ. Some upper 40's far NW with l/m 50 elsewhere. Over SNJ lows mainly in the l/m 60's. TPC watching several areas in the tropics but none pose any kind of threat to the U.S. for the next week at least.

9/12/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool morning. Some of the usual far NW "cold" spots dipped into the upper 40's. Rainfall looks light the next 5-7 days.
9/13/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another cool morning for most of NJ. Exception being far south and coastal locations. Again some upper 40's far NW with mostly 50's elsewhere central and north. Mostly l/m 60's in the warmer southern and coastal sections. Next chance meaningful rainfall not until next weekend. Chilly shot of air could follow. Generally just some shower chances during the work week.

9/15/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very chilly morning (43 here for overnight low) Walpack, Sandyston and Pequest in far NW NJ all dipped into the 30's. Rest of NJ was 40's to around 50 except right along the beaches with 55-60. One day temp / humidity spike Thursday then cool and pleasant again for the weekend. DRY weather pattern for at least the next 7 days...remnant "Sally" moisture will mainly stay south of NJ but extreme south could get clipped later in the week / early weekend. Overall pattern is a cool DRY one.
9/16/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another very chilly morning. Sky conditions for the 3rd. straight day still significantly hazy due to smoke from west coast forest fires. Shows up well on visible satellite pictures. Significant cool shot for weekend. Pattern to remain VERY DRY for next 7 days.
9/17/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Chilly shot for the weekend with pleasant temperatures next week. Pattern remains DRY with little if any rainfall for next 7 days.
9/18/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool shot this weekend followed by pleasant temperatures next week. Still a very dry pattern next 7 days +.
9/19/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Very chilly morning across NJ. Call it cold across the north with numerous readings in the 30's to low 40's. Looks like Walpack is the cold winner with a low of 29 per NJ WxNet. Had low of 39.5 here. Have to say nice to have the chilly mornings of late. DRY pattern to persist next 7 days with little to no rainfall. All medium and even LR guidance / ensembles are dry. Temperatures will warm mid to late next week as well.
9/20/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Dry pattern continues. Little to no rainfall next 7 days.
9/21/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another very chilly / cold morning. Upper 20's NW coldest spots. Had 38 for low at my station. Pattern is dry all week. Next chance of any rain of note is about a week away.
9/22/2020 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another chilly / cold morning across NJ with upper 20's far NW cold spots with most places in the 30's and 40's. Another DRY day coming up. Finally some signs of rainfall by later Sunday into early next week. First week October could feature another unseasonably chilly air mass.
9/23/2020 6:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another dry day coming up. Warmer temperatures with highs in the mid 70's to near 80 in urban corridor. Next chance any rainfall Sunday night into early next week. Nothing heavy expected but at least some rain. Chilly shot of air to open October.
9/24/2020 6:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warm early Autumn weather next several days with 70's to around 80. Next chance rain / showers Sunday night into early next week. Nothing heavy but we'll take anything at this point as it has been so dry. Chilly shot of air to open October. Tropics closed for next 1-2 weeks. Favorable pattern may present itself from October 10 onward, we'll see if it can deliver the goods for a few more TS / Hurricanes.
9/25/2020 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warmer than normal temperature pattern to continue into mid next week. Next chance showers Sunday night into Monday. Chance more significant rainfall mid to late week as strong trof digs into the NE/MA bringing much cooler weather to open October. Latest Drought Monitor issued yesterday shows drought conditions covering all of New England. Ranging from small area of abnormally dry to moderate, severe and extreme drought across large parts of the region. NJ so far remains off the Drought Monitor map but it is getting quite dry. Hopefully some more decent rains come by mid to late next week.
9/26/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M Rainfall next 3-4 days looks minimal. Signal increasing for moderate to heavy rainfall event mid week as major trof deepens into the east to be followed by chilly outbreak. Could really use the rain!
9/27/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M Looks like finally some welcome rains mid / late this coming week for NJ. Rainfall through Tuesday looks light with just some scattered showers. Moderate to heavy rainfall later Wednesday into Friday. Event totals 1-3" with the higher amounts seemingly most likely northern NJ. Warm weather early week to be followed by chilly weather Thursday into next weekend. Looking forward to the rain.
9/28/2020 8:00 AM 0.22 M M M M Received .22" in overnight showers that ended around sunrise. Still looks like moderate to heavy rain event mid week with 1-3" totals across NJ. Very chilly air mass to follow late week / weekend.
9/29/2020 8:00 AM T M M M M Looking forward to the rain and cooler weather !
9/30/2020 8:00 AM 1.92 M M M M A welcome soaking rain. Rainfall September = 4.02". Y.T.D. = 35.59".
