A wild night of rain and winds will give way to falling temperatures and blustery conditions. The low pressure which brought us some rain last night will pull away and allow high pressure to build in. This will also allow more seasonable temperatures across the area. I mentioned earlier in the week about the parade of storms and trying to get that 50/50 low established. It appears over the next couple days we will see a 50/50 low established. Low and behold, we also have a low pressure system moving up shortly after Christmas. This is where things get a little exciting.
First, the good news. The GFS model has been pretty consistent about a clipper that may roll through the area Christmas Eve into Christmas Day. Yes, this would more than likely mean some snow for the area. Something to keep an eye on. It has been a while in Central NJ that I can remember snow on Christmas Eve and morning. Keeping my fingers crossed. Once the clipper moves through, all attention will be focused on the 26-28 for a potential coastal storm to take shape. We will have a low pressure come up through the Tennessee Valley and transfer energy to a coastal low. Where this low sets up, how strong, how quick it can intensify will all be questions that will determine what type of precipitation, how much and how long. For now though, looking like a fairly good shot of two potentially good storms coming up within the week.
For today, temperatures will drop as the day goes on as we transition to more seasonable temperatures.
