We will be on the northern fringes of a storm system on Wednesday, with some snow or rain expected. Worst impacts stay south of our area.
A large storm will cross the country through early Thursday, bringing snow and rain in its path as it marches southeast and then east once it gets into the Ohio Valley. This storm will bring varied levels of impact to the region, with the worst to our south, southwest, and along the coast. Locally, winds will gust to 40 mph and we'll get intervals of rain and snow showers, especially as one gets closer to Philadelphia. The far northern parts of the suburban counties may not see that much precipitation. One of the reasons that the storm may not spread precipitation that far north across the region is the presence of a large area of high pressure in Eastern Canada. It will prevent the storm from tracking too far north and will generally send…

After a near miss on snow this past Friday night, Monday rains will wash away what little is left on the ground, leaving a "typical" temperature pattern for mid-February for the rest of the week.
Friday's near miss storm was literally that ― we were about 50 miles away from getting several additional inches of snow in your backyard as many areas of northern New Jersey and coastal areas of central New Jersey ended up getting ten or more inches of snow. Locally, anywhere from trace amounts to six inches fell from Chester County to Bucks, with the city getting anywhere from a few tenths of an inch at the naval yards to nearly five inches in the Northeast. Most of that snow washes away with Monday's rains moving through, some of which will be steady if not heavy for a time. We'll probably get a half to full inch of rain in the region, with the bulk of it falling in the morning. Some drizzle lingers into the afternoon. The balance of …

From winter to soaking rain to winter in a few days time. A wild ride of weather ahead this week!
Simply put, this week's weather will have us on a bit of a roller coaster. The recent spell of cold eases out for a couple of days before a second round of cold air pushes in after a soaking rain on Wednesday afternoon and evening. We go from winter to soaker to winter within the course of a week. At least you can't argue that the weather pattern ahead is boring! Monday's precipitation plethora is due to warm air pushing in aloft over the cold air in place at the surface. Temperatures will be slower to warm above freezing the farther north and west you are from the city, with the result being some periods of freezing rain or freezing drizzle that could lead to slippery travel for a time during the morning and early afternoon before …

Temperatures will remain mild for today and tomorrow, but winter will strike back for a chance to possibly bring us some wintry precipitation
As everyone awakes from a late night of partying post the Super Bowl, it is now time to get back on schedule. The weather this week will be on a rollercoaster as warm temperatures are fighting against a massive cold air mass from the north pushing its way southward. From the looks of things, it seems that cooler air will hang around for a while. To start things off, Monday morning's commute was chilly, calm, and clear with temperatures around 30 degrees. The afternoon will be pleasant with sunny skies and high temperatures in the upper 40s. Some areas could reach the lower 50s. As night falls, expect mostly clear skies and temperatures in the mid 30s. Tuesday will almost be the same as today, with mostly sunny skies and high temperatures …

Federal agencies have scheduled a nationwide Emergency Alert System test for Wednesday at 2 p.m.
If you flip on the television or radio at 2 p.m. this Wednesday, and are greeted with what appears to be an alarming takeover of every channel, don't fret – it's just a test. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Federal Communication Commission (FCC) have jointly announced that they will be conducting the first ever nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) at 2 p.m. Wednesday. "The EAS test plays a key role in ensuring the nation is prepared for any type of hazard, and that the U.S. public can receive critical and vital information should it ever be needed," said FEMA on its website. "The alert and warning landscape is in an important state of transition; from the current system of radio, television, cable, …

i live in the state of CA and we have had the same problem. We went below freezing to warmer temperatures back to cold mornings now. Just a tip, to keep your pipes from bursting when you turn on the hot water suddenly. It is a shock to the pipes. When we go below freezing, we leave our water on dripping. A drip of hot water and a drip of cold water. My father taught me that and it keeps your … more ›
