Another Frigid Blast Plus Snow?

After a brief mild spell, temperatures will take another dive making for another blustery, frigid weekend. While the threat of snow this weekend no longer exists, we could still see some before the weekend and after. A breezy, mild Thursday as west winds and sunshine will push temperatures to near 60 degrees...

Milder Midweek But Snow This Weekend?

This weekend we move our clocks ahead one hour for Daylight Saving Time. However, weather-wise we will be taking a step back. Another shot of arctic air returns this weekend and we are also watching the threat of a late season snowstorm. There is still a lot of uncertainty with this storm since we are still several days away. But first, our milder midweek...

Cold Blast Lasts Through Weekend

The coldest air since early January has moved into our area. Despite the sunshine, brisk northwest winds 15-20mph will keep temperatures in the mid 30s with wind chills in the low 20s. Winds will ease a bit tonight and skies will be clear. This will allow temperatures will plummet into the teens...

Cold Air Returns to Ocean City

Colder days ahead as we move toward the weekend. A lack of blocking in the upper atmosphere has been keeping our weather pattern moving along quickly. Rollercoaster temperatures continue as we go from spring-like to seasonably chilly back to spring-like conditions in a matter of days. Our current blast of cold air will hang around through the weekend and we could also see some snow as well. Thursday will be the least cold of the next several days but it will be the windiest. A Wind Advisory is in effect until 11am Thursday as brisk northwest winds (20-25mph) with gusts 40+mph will make it feel like its in the 30s despite the sunshine...(more)

Severe T’Storms Possible Wednesday Evening

As we begin March, another surge of warm air moves into the Northeast on Wednesday ahead of a strong cold front. Similar to last Saturday, a battle zone between the warm, unstable air and drier, chilly air will trigger another line of scattered t'storms. The threat of strong gusty winds, frequent lightning, heavy downpours and possible hail as the front moves through Wednesday evening...

Brisk and Chilly Sunday, Milder and Unsettled This Week

Last night's Spring-like t'storms was a battle zone between the unseasonably warm air and more seasonable chilly air behind the front. While the coast has not enjoyed the 70s like the rest of New Jersey, temperatures were still above normal for February...

Brisk Changes Coming This Weekend

The mainland has enjoyed temperatures in the low 70s, while the coast remained on the cooler side as a continuous southerly flow kept us in the 50s. Thanks to ocean temperatures in the low 40s. Still it has been more spring-like than winter and it looks like it will continue at least through the first half of the weekend. A strong cold front expected to arrive later on Saturday which will knock temperatures back to normal. High temperatures will be in the upper 50s Friday & Saturday with a good deal of clouds & fog...

Mild Air Returns This Week

After a brief cool down, the unseasonably "warm" air will return by midweek and continue into the weekend. Temperatures will feel more like April as strong High Pressure will sit off the East Coast and continue to push mild air our way. However, with ocean temperatures still around 40 degrees, winds blowing from the southerly direction will keep the coast much cooler than the mainland.

Delightful Holiday Weekend

It will be a busy weekend as many people start to begin their early season visit to the shore. Fortunately, Mother Nature is supplying us with a mainly sunny and warm holiday weekend. On Saturday, plenty of sunshine with southwesterly winds which will push warm air over our area. Daytime temperatures should reach 60 degrees...

First Wet, Then Strong Winds

A wet finish to the weekend as a low pressure system will be moving through on Sunday giving us a period of rain. However, the main concern will be the wind as this storm will rapidly develop offshore into a major winter storm for New England. A High Wind Warning is in effect for our area from Sunday night through Monday afternoon. Northwest winds of 25-35mph wind gusts up to 60mph are expected as this storm...
