Cold Start. Unsettled Finish
Discussion: We’re currently under a trough which means lower geopotential heights. With the higher sun angle destabilizing the surface under the colder lower-mid and mid-level conditions aloft, we’re seeing some hail with these passing isolated showers moving through, especially those
Cooler but Unsettled
Discussion: We’re going to see the bottom of a trough swing through NJ from Sunday PM through Wednesday morning. Typically, the current warmth surge would build hotter and more humid each day until the Sunday frontal system. However, we did

Chilly Start. Mixed End
