Warmer air is rolling in - temperatures making it all the way to the mid- to upper-40s. A few neighborhoods in northern New Jersey reached the low 50s this afternoon. This advection of warmer air over the existing snowpack will create for dense fog tonight into tomorrow. Advisories have been issued as visibilities are forecasted to be below 0.25 mi. Please be extra careful driving.
Nighttime lows should remain above the freezing point in most of our New Jersey communities. This will continue to allow the snow to melt. A few spots north and west could briefly dip to the freezing mark so patchy ice could develop.
Passing showers will make for an annoying day but not a total washout. A light but favorably warm breeze will help push the temperatures to the mid- to upper-40s and possibly lower 50s. Passing showers and snow melt will create bigger puddles of water we will have to navigate around.
It is still too early to really delve into the possible ramifications of a storm this weekend. I will say that the computer guidance is picking up on a signal. This means that there is a growing probability a storm will develop somewhere off the East Coast. Where it develops is very much an uncertainty. Where it develops tells us what kind of weather to expect and how much. Right now, we don't know. But that part of the weather picture will start getting clearer in the coming days.
