Alan’s Weather Blog – 02/09/12

High temperatures yesterday ranged from the upper 30s from Newark's 38 to Atlantic City's 45, which was pretty much as we expected.  When precipitation arrived late yesterday, initially in many places and in many cases, it started as rain.  But, it changed over to snow before it left New Jersey with just under an inch at Ewing (0.9), Freehold had 1.3, Howell had 1.8 inches.

It was a little bit of a surprise, but it didn't stick to the road surfaces, which is good news.

Sunny today, and all of the snow will be gone by the end of the day as all of the highs will be well into the 40s.

Some clear skies tonight with temperatures from the low 20s to 30s in urban and coastal areas.

Sunshine for a while followed by late clouds Friday with highs in the upper 40s to perhaps 50.  When precipitation begins Friday night, it may start as rain, but it will change to wet snow into Saturday morning before it ends.  There may be a similar amount of snow as to what we just had.

Partly cloudy and drier Saturday afternoon from 38 to 43.

Some sunshine on Sunday with highs mostly in the 30s.
