Another unsettled week with a looming Winter Storm, rain, and cautious to hazardous water conditions. Monday will start off dry and with average to slightly above average high temperatures. Tuesday will bring rain and wintry precipitation chances continuing through Thursday Day. Most areas will see rain or a mix, while northern areas could see some accumulating snow along with a mix and some icing conditions as well. Rains could be heavy at times while 1-2 inches of rain are possible and locally higher amounts. Minor coastal flooding is likely on Wednesday and Thursday high tides and inland flooding or localized flooding may be an issue at this week. Right now the Winter Storm is staying mostly to the west, keeping the bulk of the cold air and precipitation there. A change in track would change this forecast. Depending which way the track changes could be better or worse. Temperatures on Tuesday through Thursday will be above average as 50’s will be seen across the area behind a lifting warm front/warm sector of the storm. Overnight lows will only be in the 40’s, but by Thursday Night temperatures will drop back into the 20’s and 30’s overnight. Highs on Friday will only be in the 20’s and 30’s with teens and 20’s for overnight lows. This will usher in colder air for the weekend. Water conditions will be good to borderline on Monday Day inshore and cautious offshore becoming cautious then cautious to hazardous for the rest of the week for all locations. Winds will gust to 40 knots and seas to 15 feet with Small Craft Advisories and Gale Warnings. Surf conditions will be ok on Monday and then cautious Monday Night through the weekend with gusty winds to 40 knots and surf heights to 10 feet. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will be the worst of the conditions, with higher tides on Wednesday and Thursday causing some minor coastal flooding and possible beach erosion. Beaches may be hazardous still in some areas and this week will not help, so use caution on the sands! Water temperatures are warmer by a few degrees in the upper 30’s to low 40’s. UV Index will be Low to Moderate at 0-4/15.

http://njsaltwaterfisherman.com/forums/index.php?topic=37636.0 High pressure will build eastward into the region from the Great Lakes on Sunday Night and move north of the region on Monday. By Tuesday, low pressure will begin to develop along a warm front in the Gulf Coast States. The main area of low pressure along the warm front will track northeast into the Eastern Great Lakes by Thursday. A cold front will then sweep through the region after the passage of the low pressure system. Another cold frontal boundary will then move southeast through the region next weekend.
Right now the weekend looks dry with a mix of sun and clouds. High temperatures will be in the mid 30’s to low 40’s with overnight lows in the 20’s to 30’s. Water, surf and beach conditions will be cautious to hazardous as a cold front moves offshore.hind t
