Alan’s Weather Blog – 01/30/12

High temperatures over the weekend were near 50 degrees, or certainly, the upper 40s to near 50 on Saturday.  Sunday was as high as 48 in Atlantic City, 47 in Trenton, and 46 in Newark.  Again, the normal highs is 39 to 42, so we were above normal this weekend, although it might not have felt like it with enough wind to notice.

Temperatures today will probably be into the 40s.  Guidance wants to have low 40s, which might be a bit on the low side, considering where temperatures are in the early morning hours.  But, the bottom line is that temperatures will be in the 40s, whether its in the low, middle, or upper 40s with returning sunshine.  Any chance of snow showers has gone by the boards today.  There will be a brisk wind today, as well.

Now, tonight will be partly cloudy, but any area of light snow or flurries passes by our to north to upstate New York, and central and southern New England.

Then, we have a big warming trend.  It'll be in the upper 50s to low 60s for high temperatures tomorrow (that's Tuesday).  Even Wednesday will offer the chance of a shower, but still have a high of near 60 degrees Wednesday afternoon.

Colder weather will gradually settle in towards the end of the work week.
