Alan’s Weather Blog – 02/02/12

High temperatures yesterday reached the mid to upper 60s, which is about 5 degrees above the low 60s that I predicted.  Atlantic City's 68 fell 3 short of the record of 71, which was set in 2002.  The Trenton-Mercer County Airport reached 67 and broke the record by 1 degree that was in 1989.

Today will not be nearly as mild, though it will still be mild for the season.  Normal highs are 40 to 42, and we'll be between 50 and 55 as skies become partly cloudy.  Any light rain in South Jersey and the clouds will tend to thin out and move away later on.

It should be mostly clear and colder tonight with statewide lows from 22 to 32, but probably mid to upper 30s along the south coast.

Sunny Friday with temperatures well into the 40s.

Sunshine on Saturday with highs again the 40s.

A storm system, which will weaken as it nears the East Coast by Sunday, may produce the chance of some spotty light rain and wet snow in far southern New Jersey early Sunday. We're just going for early clouds, for now, and then partly sunny with Sunday's highs in the upper 40s and the low 50s.
