Here's When Air Quality Will Improve — But It's Going To Get Worse First, Forecasters Say Here's When Air Quality Will Improve — But It's Going To Get Worse First, Forecasters Say
Here's When Air Quality Will Improve — But It's Going To Get Worse First, Forecasters Say The air quality in the Northeast could get worse before it gets better, meteorologists say. A red air quality alert (unhealthy) was issued across New Jersey, with a purple issue (very unhealthy) in greater Philadelphia due to smoke from the Canadian wildfires being pushed into the area. The question on everyone's mind now: When will air quality improve? According to Weather.com, hopefully this weekend. The region is expected to see a change in weather pattern, which is expected to change the wind direction and push remaining smoke out. Air quality will be very poor today due to the s…

Rockin' The 70s: Mother Nature Streams Springlike Temps In NJ, PA Rockin' The 70s: Mother Nature Streams Springlike Temps In NJ, PA
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. Conditions will get more comfortable when Sunday, March 6, rolls around, meteorologist Joe Cioffi said. The most noticeable change will be a relatively small drop in temperatures Saturday night following a day in the mid-40s to mid-50s, he said. "This sets up a nice launching pad for Sunday," Cioffi said. "There might be clouds and a couple of showers scattered around Sunday morning," he said, "but we will have…

No Snow, But Gusty Winds & Some Rain Forecast For Thanksgiving Week In PA No Snow, But Gusty Winds & Some Rain Forecast For Thanksgiving Week In PA
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. Forecasts of a pre-holiday mix of rain, snow and gusty winds were at best premature, a respected area weatherman said Saturday. At this point, in fact, “getaway” day on Wednesday looks to be sunny, meteorologist Joe Cioffi said. 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 Tropical Storm Odette Spins Up The Atlantic, And Here's Why It's Good News
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…
