Alan’s Weather Blog – 01/11/12

High temperatures yesterday reached 50 in Atlantic City and Trenton, but upper 40s every place else.  Again, that is way above the normal high of the upper 30s to low 40s, where we should be for this time of the year.

Today, we will be up to the low 40s and upper 50s as it becomes cloudy after some sunshine to start with.  Some rain develops during the course of the afternoon hours, probably not till mid or late afternoon in south and north Jersey.

Tonight, with a storm system moving up from the Ohio Valley to the east coast, it'll be windy from 25 to 35 with higher gusts, especially along the coast.  Rain will be heavy, at times, overnight with lows from 45 to 50 in some places to a few NW New Jersey 30s.

Early rain tapers off tomorrow, then partly cloudy with highs in the mid to upper 50s, which is not to say that there could not be another shower in NW Jersey tomorrow afternoon.  For the most part, though, we will be drying out during the day.

And then, early morning rain or snow showers are possible Friday with clouds, sunshine, and wind.  Friday's highs will be in the 40s.

It'll be chillier over the weekend with maybe a touch of light snow or flurries on Sunday.
