Wednesday 10pm:  Latest NAM model has light rain showers possibly mixed with light snow late Thursday night for eastern portions of South Jersey, ending early Friday morning, as a wave of low pressure moves a stalled frontal boundary off the coast. The trend has moved this precipitation westward. The NAVGEM model had shown this westward extent yesterday and now shows light snow as far west as Philadelphia late Thursday night into Friday morning.  Stay tuned .

The model predictions continue to change in the period beyond 5 days.

I’ve been monitoring the coastal storm that is expected to form Sunday night off the southeast coast.  The track of this storm has continued to shift south and east, missing us in the latest GFS model.

The clipper system that was expected to spawn a secondary low off the coast, giving us snow late Monday now appears to transfer its energy to the above mentioned low pressure system far off the coast.  As mentioned, these northern stream clipper systems often fizzle out and this is the current trend with this system.

So what looked like another possible snowstorm for the Monday timeframe now appears to be less likely.  Possibly some light snow or snowshowers is all that may occur.   Things may change again, so stay tuned.

The cold outbreak for next week still looks likely.
