Discussion: The upper levels remain unremarkable with little deduction possible. A lot of weak zonal flow with nothing anomalous in either direction regarding geopotential height anomalies. We look rather dry through this weekend and likely through Tuesday as heat and

Discussion: The upper levels are rather unremarkable with little deduction…a rather zonal flow with no anomalous height anomalies in either direction. The main player this week will be high pressure stationed over the NE US/SE Canada, providing stiff onshore flow

Discussion: The upper jet is taking a little dip over NJ for this weekend into early next week. Not an anomalous trough by any means, it’s pretty weak, but at least a much needed cooldown after this past week. The

Discussion: I’m thinking “Relentless Stormy Humidity” was a good title for this week’s weekly outlook. Last night’s (Tuesday night) storms produced most violently in WCNJ/SWNJ before fizzling a bit for the coast. NNJ saw less intense action. A few tornado
