June 12th Severe Weather Update
I had posted earlier about a potential severe weather event for tomorrow in our area. This still looks to be on track. Today, numerous severe thunderstorms and tornadoes have taken place in the Upper Midwest and now into the Ohio River Valley. These storms will move east and start to affect the the area overnight. While rain and possible some minor thunderstorms move in, the real event will be tomorrow afternoon.
The general breakdown will be heavy rains to the north and severe weather south. Central Jersey is going to be kind of a dividing line. The whole event hinges on the placement of a warm front. The warm front will be the dividing line between the two outcomes. If you are south of the warm front, you can expect rain and severe weather. North of the front, it will be a primarily heavy rain event. Areas north are looking at 2-4" of rain while areas to the south are looking 1-2" and the severe weather. The severe weather will be severe thunderstorms, dangerous lightening, hail, damaging winds and even a tornado threat. Remember too, our area has already received a lot of rain, and any additional can spell bad news on saturated grounds and rivers.
As of now, that warm front is poised to set up in north central NJ. As with all systems, timing will be key. A lot can change, but it would be a good idea to pay attention tomorrow. Having an alerting mechanism will be a good idea tomorrow either on your phone, radio or TV in case you get one of these storms.As always, I will be doing updates on twitter (@townerswxpage) and facebook (Towner's Weather PAGE).

Another Round Of Heavy Rain And Severe Weather
A vigorous disturbance moves in tomorrow bringing more flooding rains. This time though, this will be accompanied by severe weather. Heavy rains will blanket the area, although more may fall north from NNJ/NYC through New England. 2-4" will be a good bet up there. Further south, we are looking at another 1-2" but will take the brunt of the severe weather. Heavy rains, dangerous lightning, strong winds, hail and even a tornado threat will be present. I will have more to come on this in a more detailed post this evening. Tomorrow is looking nasty!

Wild Night Upcoming
***FLASH FLOOD WATCHES POSTED FOR THE AREA***
***HIGH WIND WARNINGS POSTED FOR COASTAL AREAS***
FRONTAL PASSAGE LOOKS TO PASS BETWEEN 11PM AND 2AM.
Well, if yesterday is any indication of whats coming, we should be in for quite the wild night. 14 Tornado watches issued yesterday, numerous reported tornadoes and other severe weather outbreaks. Continuing this morning, tornado warnings have already been issued for parts of Georgia. This threat will continue. The Storm Prediction Center has been all over this, and they continue with their forecasts for today. They have actually extended their area of severe weather up into our area as designated as the slight risk on their map. A slight risk into these parts in January is quite odd. Anyways, here are their maps:
OUTLOOK:
TORNADO:
WINDS:
So, as you can see, our area (NJ) has been placed in a number of these categories. This is a vigorous cold front coming through and with temperatures getting up into the 60's today (already 65 in Buffalo, NY!!!), there will be some fuel. There are also extremely strong winds above the surface of the earth and any storm that can gain some elevation can get these winds to mix down. I think our primary threat will be strong winds with the frontal passage. We will also have some heavy rain, so much so that a Flash Flood Watch was issued for the area for 1"-2.5" of rain. That much rain falling quickly can lead to quick flooding conditions.
The frontal passage has been pushed back a little, due to it really becoming a slow mover. Originally I was looking for a late afternoon / evening start, but it appears now, that it will pass between 11pm and 2am. For many of you, you will be asleep and will probably be woken up by the winds, rain and possible thunder.
There will be more to come, so stay tuned to twitter @townerswxpage and facebook Towner's Weather PAGE

Roller Coaster Continues 1/29/2013 Morning Update
Well, the warm front has pushed through the area. As a result, we will have a nice thaw for today and tomorrow. Today, highs are looking like we will hit the high 40's to low 50's. Tomorrow, we have a serious shot of 60 degrees. In addition, I am becoming more and more concerned about a severe weather outbreak tomorrow. The severe outbreak is attributed to a strong cold front which is currently marching through the midwest. This front is going to spawn severe weather over the Northern Gulf States. These areas are going to have a rather impressive chance for tornadoes and very strong winds . As shown, the Storms Prediction Center is all over this:
Severe Weather Potential:
Tornadoes:
Winds:
As the front marches eastward, this area will move east. The front will bring very strong winds just off the ground and any storm that can gain some elevation can tap into these winds and mix them down to the surface. This will have to be watched to see how the severe weather plays out today and what that can lead to in 24 hours. SPC sees the threat for tomorrow, but not as pronounced. This may increase depending on how today's events go:
Once this storm pushes through, it will usher in cooler air once again. From there, hopefully we can get some kind of calibration to our winter and allow for some snow to make its way into the snow starved areas in NJ.
