Cold Dry Conditions Expected (Dec 3-7)

Discussion: Real quick: The Weather NJ mobile app is now live on Apple and Google …an early holiday gift to you all! The Dec 4-5th winter storm signal will be squashed way to the to the S of NJ by cold northerly flow. Therefore this week starts with a mild-to-cold transitional Monday followed by a cold and dry week leading into the weekend. This should solidify a cold air mass over the region for whatever does happen with the Sunday Dec 9th storm signal. If the dominant northern stream holds through the weekend then it might also squash that possibility out to the S. If the wave is allowed to turn N-enough to bring the precipitation shield into NJ then we would likely have winter problems on Sunday. It’s still early for details on this and again, is no more than a monitored-signal for now. Serious winter storm tracking would begin ~Wednesday if the signal is still showing.

Monday (Dec 3) high temperatures should reach the low-to-mid 50s for most. Skies should start mostly cloudy but gradually improve by sunset. Winds should be breezy out of the W. Overnight lows should fall into the 30s for most.

Tuesday (Dec 4) high temperatures should reach near-40 statewide. Skies should be mixed with sun and clouds. Winds should be light-to-breezy out of the NW. Overnight lows should fall into the 20s for most with NNJ elevations and Pine Barrens possibly into the teens.

Wednesday (Dec 5) high temperatures should struggle to escape the 30s. Skies should me partly-sunny. Winds should be light out of the NW. Overnight lows should fall into the 20s for most with NNJ elevations and Pine Barrens possibly into the teens.

Thursday (Dec 6) high temperatures should reach near-40 for most. Skies should be partly sunny. Winds should be light out of the W/SW. Overnight lows should range from mid-20s to mid-30s NNJ to SNJ.

Friday (Dec 7) high temperatures should struggle to escape the 30s. Skies should be mostly sunny. Winds should be light-to-breezy out of the NW. Overnight lows should range from teens to 20s NNJ to SNJ.

An early look at the weekend indicates a cold and dry Saturday ahead of the winter storm potential we’re tracking for ~Dec 9. Still much uncertainty outside of a general storm signal.
