NJ Fishing & Boating Weather Outlook Weekly Edition: Nov 18-22, 2013

[Pfishingruven]

A rollercoaster of a week between unsettled and settled weather with a start of cautious and hazardous water conditions.  As a strong cold front pushes through the area Sunday Night into Monday morning, the week will start with showers and even some thunderstorms and strong winds 10-20 mph with gusts in excess of 60 mph during the overnight hours.  Monday Day will continue with mostly cloudy to cloudy skies with chances of rain showers.  By Monday Night conditions will start to clear with mostly clear skies, and dry conditions through Friday before rain chances return.  The middle of the week will be sunny with some clouds before mostly cloudy conditions return on Friday with possible rain. This should clear out by Saturday for a clear weekend.  High temperatures will be in the 40’s and 50’s.  Overnight lows will get down into the 20’s and 30’s again.  Monday will be very windy with 15-20 mph winds with gusts to 35 mph through Tuesday Night before diminishing.  Water conditions will be cautious to hazardous with Small Craft Advisories statewide, Dense Fog Advisories for Raritan Bay through Sandy Hook and Gale Warnings for Offshore waters east of Sandy Hook and south of Long Island through Tuesday Night.  Tuesday Night or Wednesday will see a diminishing of winds and seas with SCA’s being dropped and good conditions returning through the weekend.  Water temperatures are in the 40’s and 50’s.  Surf and beach conditions will vary this week from good to ok to maybe even cautious at times.  Gusty westerly winds will start the week with wave heights 2-4 feet followed by increasing seas midweek 2-5 feet.  UV Index will be Low 2/15.

A strong cold frontal boundary will move through the region late Sunday Night and Monday Morning.  High pressure will build in behind this front reaching the East Coast on Wednesday.  Another cold front will move across the Midwest on Thursday before moving into the Ohio Valley and New England on Friday.  High pressure will build in behind this front next weekend.

The weekend looks dry and cold with good water and surf conditions.  This will depend on the cold front being on time and moving in by Friday.  If it is delayed at all, rain chances could carry over into Saturday!

Have a great week!

Good morning!  Cold start inland again, but much more mild along the coast.  Sunny with a few clouds this morning.  Clouds will build in today becoming partly cloudy.  Dry with no rain in the forecast for daytime, but tonight and tomorrow will bring some rain chances increasing into Friday Night and lingering into Saturday.  High temperatures for today will be in the low 50’s except for northern/northwestern areas in the mid 40’s.  Overnight lows for most places tonight were yesterday highs as a warm front lifts north.  Lows will be in the low to mid 40’s with upper 40’s across southern coastal areas and mid to upper 30’s across northern areas.  South to southeast winds  will be light at 5-10 mph.

Water conditions are good today for all locations.  Enjoy it because the next 3-5, even 5-7 days are looking to shift more to the cautious side.  Winds will be light out of the east to southeast with seas recovering mostly today.  Raritan Bay will have southeast becoming south tonight at 5-10 knots with seas 1 foot or less.  Barnegat Bay will have southeast to southwest winds 5-10 knots with seas 1-2 feet.  Delaware Bay will have northeast becoming southeast this afternoon then southwest tonight at 5-10 knots with seas 5-10 knots.  Inshore ocean waters will have east to southeast winds becoming southwest tonight at 5-10 knots with seas 2-4 feet at 12-13 seconds.  Midshore to Offshore waters will have east to southeast becoming southwest tonight at 5-10 knots with seas 2-4 feet at 12-13 seconds.

Surf and beach conditions are good to ok (very fishable).  Winds will be east to southeast becoming southwest tonight at 5-10 knots.   The easterly winds are stacking waves up and making the surf rough this morning.  Surf will continue to be on the rougher side today with wave heights 2-5 feet with a 2-3 foot east-southeast swell at 12-13 seconds.  Actual waves are breaking every 2-4 seconds and pushing a lot of water into the beaches.  Surf temperatures are in the low 50’s.  UV Index will be Low at 2/15.

Have a great day!

Good morning!  “Mild” low temperatures across the state last night with upper 40’s to 50’s already this morning.  Cloudy today with chances of showers through the overnight with some showers already in some areas.  Into the overnight it will become mostly cloudy and start clearing out by Saturday.  High temperatures today will be in the mid 50’s to low 60’s, from a lifting warm front crossing the area.  Overnight lows will be in the low to mid 40’s with low 30’s across northern areas.  Saturday Night will see VERY cold air move into the region, with 30’s for highs and teens and 20’s overnight with wind chills in the single digits this weekend!  West winds will be light inland at 5-10 mph and moderate along the coast at 10-15 mph, increasing by the afternoon and through the weekend.

Water conditions will be good this morning becoming cautious by this afternoon.  However, this morning’s winds will border on SCA criteria.  By this afternoon winds will increase and Small Craft Advisories are in effect at 10PM Friday Night for all Bays, the Delaware River and coastal ocean waters along the East Coast from Maine to North Carolina.  Gale Warnings are active now for all Offshore waters east of 20 nm.  Conditions will be cautious at best this weekend with a period of hazardous conditions on Saturday Night and Sunday.  Offshore waters will be hazardous most of the weekend with seas nearing 13 feet.  Raritan Bay will have west winds 5-10 knots with gusts to 20 knots today then 10 knots becoming northwest after midnight with gusts to 25 knots with seas 1 foot or less increasing to 2 feet after midnight.  Barnegat Bay will have west winds 9-12 knots becoming west-southwest tonight then northwest 14-17 knots after midnight with gusts to 25 knots with seas 1-2 feet.  Delaware Bay will have southwest winds 10-15 knots with gusts to 20 knots becoming west at 15-20 knots with gusts to 25 knots this evening then northwest 20-25 knots with gusts to 30 knots after midnight with seas 2-3 feet increasing to 2-4 feet tonight.  Inshore ocean waters will have southwest winds 10-15 knots with gusts to 20 knots becoming west tonight and increasing to 15-20 knots with gusts to 25 knots in the evening then northwest 20-25 knots with gusts to 30 knots tonight with seas 3-4 feet at 9 seconds increasing to 3-5 feet at 8 seconds tonight.  Midshore to Offshore waters will have southwest winds 10-15 knots increasing to west to southwest 15-25 knots in the afternoon then west to northwest at 20-25 knots after midnight with seas 2-4 feet building to 3-6 feet at 9 seconds today then 4-7 feet at 8 seconds tonight.

Surf and beach conditions will be good to ok today.  Winds will increase throughout the day from the southwest to west to northwest by tonight at 10-15 knots, increasing to 15-20 knots in the afternoon and then 20-25 knots by tonight.  Surf is rougher with wave heights 1-3 feet with a 2-3 foot east-southeast swell at 9-10 seconds.  The gusty west winds will clean up the surf, decreasing wave heights and increasing water clarity into Saturday and for the rest of the weekend.  Surf temperatures are in the upper 40’s to low 50’s.  UV Index will be Low at 1-2/15.

Watching for the possible development of a low pressure system that will move off the southeast coast next week and track to the northeast.  This system could become a coastal storm/Nor’Easter affecting -the area around Tuesday or Wednesday.  All of the models have been trending this storm for the last 7-10 days and now the models are beginning to come to an agreement, hinting at a coastal track.  This is still a few days early to pinpoint anything and track will be the major deciding factor.  The area could see nothing or we could be in for a Nor’Easter with high winds, heavy rains/snow, coastal flooding and beach erosion.  More to come…

Have a great Friday!
