Rockin' The 70s: Mother Nature Streams Springlike Temps In NJ, PA You'll swear spring has sprung when temperatures this weekend reach -- and even break -- 70 degrees in parts of New Jersey and especially Pennsylvania, an area weather expert said.

No Snow, But Gusty Winds & Some Rain Forecast For Thanksgiving Week In PA Here's something to be thankful for: Although we’ll likely suffer the annual miles (and miles) of traffic backups, the weather in Pennsylvania doesn't threaten to be a problem heading into Thanksgiving.

It starts with sunshine Saturday “pretty much from start to finish,” Cioffi said. Clouds roll in Sunday morning, but temperatures should move from the mid-…

Tropical Storm Odette Spins Up The Atlantic, And Here's Why It's Good News WEEKEND UPDATE: It may not be a "perfect" storm, but a random cluster of showers and thunderstorms that became Tropical Storm Odette will be good news for our area this weekend, meteorologist Joe Cioffi said Friday. "The obvious one is that it is moving northeast and headed out to sea," Cioffi said. "It is also going to allow a cold front to our north to move through Saturday night and bring lower humidity for Sunday and Monday." Going into the weekend, six of the named storms in the Atlantic this year accelerated into hurricanes. Three of those — Grace, Ida and Larry — became powerhouses.…
Hurricane Larry Should Make Waves, Blow Some Wind, But That's Most Likely It, Forecasters Say Hurricane Larry Should Make Waves, Blow Some Wind, But That's Most Likely It, Forecasters Say
Hurricane Larry Should Make Waves, Blow Some Wind, But That's Most Likely It, Forecasters Say Hurricane Larry is making waves -- big ones -- as he spins his way up the Atlantic, but it's still highly doubtful he'll come close enough to do any serious damage to the East Coast, the National Weather Service repeated Monday. Doubling down on its predictions of the Labor Day weekend, the service said the worst we could see in our area are "significant swells" in the Atlantic. These will be "likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions," according to its latest report. Bermuda could take a hit, most likely on Thursday, but that wasn't a sure thing, forecasters said. …

Latest ON Larry: Larger, Stronger 'But Not Close Enough' For Concern Here Hurricane Larry may be getting larger and stronger, but it isn't worth worrying about in New Jersey and surrounding states, forecasters said Sunday. "The week ahead looks to be a relatively quiet one, with one cold front coming through on Wednesday with the chance for showers or a thunderstorm late in the day," said meteorologist Joe Cioffi. "Hurricane Larry will pass east of Bermuda by a close distance but not close enough to cause any major issues. "Then it turns northeast passing south and east of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland." That means New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut…
