NAM Model showing storm offshore

Although the weekend snowstorm is not yet a distant memory, the improving weather over the next few days is  sure to help keep it off our minds. High pressure is building in today, and will keep our weather fair through at least the mid to end part of the week. A disturbance in the atmosphere is passing overhead today, but not to worry, the surface low pressure will be well to our east and out over the Atlantic Ocean. We aren't expecting any precipitation from this feature, but we can't completely rule out the threat of a spotty shower along the New Jersey coast on Tuesday morning. After this storm passes, the high pressure will take more control, and the airmass will modify a bit. In other words, the cold air will become stale over the region..and with time, high temperatures will begin to climb back towards seasonal averages with the lack of any new cold air source. Highs on Tuesday are forecast to reach into the middle 50's, and the winds will still be out of the north. Overnight lows going into Wednesday morning will once again be chilly, into the 30's, and possibly the 20's inland.

THE FORECAST...

Today (Tuesday): Mostly sunny, with highs in the mid 50's. Some passing clouds and possibly a shower or two near the New Jersey shore. North winds 5 to 10 miles per hour.

Tonight: Mostly clear, with lows in the 30's near the city and the 20's in the suburbs and higher elevations. North winds 5 to 10 miles per hour.
