FORECAST:
Fair weather continues to slowly push in from the Tennessee Valley. A stubborn storm lingers in the Canadian Maritimes just north of Nova Scotia. These two weather systems are creating the blustery winds that will continue to strip leaves from trees and draw in, eventually, cooler air from Canada.
Tonight will have a seasonable feel to the air. Nighttime lows will be in the upper 30s and low 40s. Skies will have some clouds time and again.
Tuesday morning clouds will burn off quickly. Fair weather makes further inroads toward New Jersey, allowing more and more sun throughout the day. The winds will still be breezy and some gusts could be over 25 mph, but the wind direction is favorable, so that and mainly sunny skies should allow for a warm-up into the low 60s. (Normal this time of years is 57).
Veterans Day is Wednesday and to quote Elmer Davis, who was journalist and early radio broadcaster in the 20s and 30s, "This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave." Thank you to all that served and the sacrifices you made to protect our freedom. I/ we are forever grateful. Skies will be sunny and the air will be on the milder side (low 60s) for this time of year.
There is a lot of buzz on social media about a developing storm capable of bringing measurable snowfall to the area. Well, it is still a little too early as of Monday evening's forecast to be talking about specifics, but what is known right now is a possible storm, just off the Monmouth County, beaches late Thursday will kick up some consistent rain and wind toward the end of the week.
An upper-level feature will slowly draw in much colder air for Friday and Saturday.
While the majority of the moisture falls on the area Thursday, it's possible some left over showers could change over to snow showers. The best opportunity to see this happen will be in the higher elevations of the Poconos and the western Catskills. However, I wouldn't be surprised that a few hillier areas of northwest New Jersey see a few snowflakes late Friday night into very early Saturday morning.
