Discussion: To touch on the rest of the weekend very briefly, the rest of today/tonight (Saturday PM) looks chilly and dry. Some rain (less than a quarter inch likely) could push through Sunday (late-morning through early evening) ahead of a
Discussion: Our current situation (Wednesday afternoon) is very synoptic driven. A ~990mb low is tracking across the Great Lakes. It has dragged a warm front over NJ from S to N putting us in the warm sector for now. That’s

Discussion: A bit more rain is likely Friday night into Saturday morning but that should clear by mid-to-late Saturday morning allowing a dry Saturday afternoon-evening once things clear out. A very seasonally anomalous trough is then expected to move into
Discussion: A potent upper-level shortwave will graze through NNJ Wednesday night into Thursday morning. It’s not a trough or even an upper low, just a potent shortwave as seen below here in both 500mb geopotential heights and 500mb vorticity (solid
