New Round Of Snow Now Possible On Christmas Day
It's beginning to look a lot like we may be getting a new round of snowfall on Christmas. Long-range forecast models now show the potential for a storm powered by Arctic air bringing snow, sleet, and rain expected to develop on Christmas Eve, Thursday, Dec. 24, and continue into Christmas Day, Friday, Dec. 25. "The snow area is going to be smaller, and at this point, we’re not going to be looking at the excessive amounts of snow that we saw with our latest storm," AccuWeather Chief On-Air Meteorologist Bernie Rayno said, "but it all depends on the strength of that storm." But wait, there's…

Bet Against Serious Snow This Week, North Jersey Weather Expert Says
Snow this week? Maybe, weather expert Joe Cioffi says -- and if so, not much around here. Monday is easily the week’s best weather day, Cioffi said, with highs in the low- to mid-50s in North Jersey and immediately to the north, and possibly as high as 60 degrees at the Jersey Shore. "Enjoy the day because the rest of the week is pretty much shot," he said. Snow could fall this week, he said, but not until Thursday, the earliest -- and not much of it. Tuesday’s temperatures should be lower, due to clouds and showers, said Cioffi, who uses several weather models. ****** ALSO SEE: La…

Not So Fast: Too Soon To Fear A Weekend Nor'easter, Weather Expert Says
Folks might want to hold off on the milk and bread run in anticipation of a possible Nor'easter this weekend, a local weather expert said. "While there is a chance of rain or snow Saturday, I'm not overly bullish about it right now," Joe Cioffi said Tuesday morning. "Too may weather systems and not enough cold air could be the primary issue here." Although the weather pattern across North America appears chaotic, the Northeast should remain "relatively quiet and calm" through the work week, Cioffi said. The weekend could be close to the same, he said. If this were a typical winter, th…

Nor'easter: Sleet, Freezing Rain Combo – Not Snow – Will Be The Problem In North Jersey
A combination of sleet and freezing rain could cause serious trouble when a hit-and-run Nor'easter clips North Jersey on Thursday, the area's local weather expert says. Rush-hour driving will get treacherous in some areas late Thursday afternoon into the evening, said meteorologist Joe Cioffi. So motorists need to stay alert and build in extra time getting to their destinations, he said. “This is especially true since the last time anyone drove in winter precipitation was back in March,” Cioffi said. “So everyone will likely be a bit rusty.” Be sure to have your ice scraper handy – and dr…

Dangerous Cold Will Be Followed By New Storm Bringing Ice, Snow To Area
A dangerously cold weekend with wind-chill factors plummeting to as low -22 degrees in parts of the area will be followed a new storm system that will usher in warmer temperatures but not before bringing snow and ice. "While heavy precipitation is not anticipated by the storm at this time, it just takes a small amount of ice to make roads and sidewalks a skating rink," according to AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams. Saturday will be sunny and cold, with a high near 10 and winds gusting as high as 40 miles per hour, making it feel more like it's between -5 and -15 and i…
