Milder Weekend Expected (Feb 17-19)

This weekend kicks off a mild stretch. Let’s break it down…

Disco: Not much to speak of synoptically. A few areas of weak high pressure will be moving through the E US. A low pressure system will be passing by well to our south Sunday morning but most precipitation should also stay well to our south. This drier pattern should last through at least Wednesday of next week.

Overnight temperatures tonight should fall into the 20s for most. NNJ elevations could dip into the teens.

Friday (Feb 17) high temperatures should struggle to break 40 in NNJ. CNJ and SNJ however should push into the 40s. Skies should be mostly sunny. Winds should be breezy out of the W/NW. Overnight lows should fall into the 30s for most with NNJ possibly dipping into the 20s.

Saturday (Feb 18) high temperatures should reach into the upper-50s/lower-60s statewide. Skies should be partly sunny. Winds should be light out of the SW. Overnight lows should fall into the 40s for most with NNJ possibly dipping into the 30s.

Sunday (Feb 19) high temperatures should again reach into the upper-50s/lower-60s statewide. Skies should be partly sunny. Winds should be light out of the NW. Overnight lows should fall into the 30s.

An early look at next week indicates more milder conditions (relative to late-winter). I’m seeing highs in the 50s all week with a few more chances for breaking 60. NNJ elevations would likely not be as mild but still above-average in temperature. No major storm systems are showing next week but next weekend looks interesting and unsettled. Let’s revisit on Monday. Everyone have a great weekend and please be safe! JC
