The recent national news has covered the highly amplified upper air configuration that’s bringing below average temperatures to the middle of the US. That deep dip in the jet will slowly advance eastward through Thursday, and temps will fall with highs in the 40s by Friday.
The models have been hinting at a weak coastal low that develops Thursday night as the cold air advances over us. The latest GFS model shows light snow possible for much of South Jersey and around the US 95 corridor late Thursday night into Friday morning. Accumulations will be light, if any.
Several other disturbances ride up the upper trough, both Sunday and next Monday into Tuesday, with chances of precipitation each time. Some of the precip will be in the form of light snow showers (Sunday) and a wet wintery mix Monday night. Stay tuned.
