looking at a potential 50 or more degree swing Christmas Eve - New Years eve where perhaps a few record highs could be challenged pending on rainfall next week/year.
Sure thing. It would be nice to see a quick period of rain changing to wet then drier snow, even though it wont accumulate or amount too much. Thats whats happening near Harrisburg and perhaps can push its way here before the precip tapers off.
9 years ago the warmth was on with 71 degree record high in EWR (2013) and NYC (park), 68 at New Brunswick:
and 33 years ago it was very cold down to single digits (1989) in the area.
Great post as always Bluewaze, back from a "chilly" WC and agree the period around or right before Christmas into the first week o January looks like it could be quite wintry. I hope i bring the cold with me from the West the next few weeks. Still keep an eye on the Thu (16) / Fri (17) storm.
Arrived back and Down to brisk 19 last night which is coldest since March 28/29th. Warmup 11/22 - early next month. The coming weekend 11/25-26 looks showery for all of those Christmas decorators. Peak of the coming warm up 11/30 - 12/3?
Clear skies (higher) 850 MB temps near 12-14C. Believe there will be some 80 degree readings around the area today. Northeast flow cools it down Tue / Wed before warmer SW flow Thu / Fri. This coming weekend we'll see how much of the tropical fetch can merge with approaching front. 11/13 - 11/22 Looks mainly chilly - brunt of cold is east but surge of the chill comes in by the 18-19. Last week of Nov moderates more towards or above normal
