Nice!! Although it's not from this NorEaster happening today. It's already almost past north of your latitude and moving away. It's from the trough moving in.... and then another coastal storm developing tonight. LOL. I cant keep up!
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
MOUNT HOLLY NJ
943 AM EST MON FEB 8 2016
STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTHEAST OFF SHORE.
A LARGE EXPANSIVE AREA OF PRECIPITATION CONTINUES ON THE WEST
SIDE OF THE LOW. SO FAR, THE MAJORITY OF THE SNOW HAS REMAINED
OFFSHORE AND NORTHEAST OF THE AREA. HOWEVER, THERE IS A BAND OF
PRECIPITATION LOCATED RIGHT ALONG COASTAL OCEAN AND MONMOUTH
COUNTIES, AS WELL AS OTHER SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE REMAINDER
OF COASTAL NEW JERSEY AND COASTAL DELAWARE.
WINDS GUSTS ARE LIGHTENING A BIT AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS,
BUT GUSTS 20-30 MPH WILL CONTINUE NEAR THE COAST THROUGH MUCH OF
THE DAY. INLAND, GUSTS ARE BEGINNING TO DROP OFF AS WELL, BUT A
STEADY NORTH-NORTHEAST BREEZE SHOULD CONTINUE.
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM TUESDAY/...
PRECIPITATION, GENERALLY SNOW OR A RAIN AND SNOW MIX
WILL START TO
MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST DURING THE EVENING HOURS AS THE LEADING
TROUGH LIFTS INTO THE REGION. THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL REMAIN
WELL WEST OF THE REGION THROUGH THIS TIME, SO DO NOT EXPECT THE
HEAVIEST SNOW TO BE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, AND THE MODELS HAVE
IN FACT TRENDED SLIGHTLY DRIER THROUGH THIS PERIOD. EVEN SO, THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE REGION COULD SEE AS MUCH AS 4 INCHES OF SNOW IF
MESOSCALE BANDS DEVELOP EARLY ENOUGH.
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE SECONDARY COASTAL LOW THAT DEEPENS RAPIDLY OFF THE NC OUTERBANKS
MONDAY NIGHT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE TOO FAR OFFSHORE ON TUESDAY TO
DIRECTLY IMPACT US. HOWEVER, WE AREN`T OUT OF THE WOODS AS MODELS
ARE SHOWING THE PRIMARY SURFACE LOW REORGANIZING AS IT MOVES OFF THE
DELMARVA COAST ON TUESDAY. THIS SEEMS LIKE A PLAUSIBLE SCENARIO
SINCE THE INITIAL MILLER-B LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE WELL OUT TO
SEA (LEAVING SOME SEPARATION BETWEEN THE TWO) AND THERE LOOKS TO
BE ANOTHER MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER
LOW THAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO HEIGHT FALLS AND COASTAL
CYCLOGENESIS.
