This winter appears to be a typical wild ride with wide swings in temperature and types of precipitation. There will be 2 main storm tracks, one toward the Great Lakes region ( not a snowmaker for NJ. ) and the other track is the coastal storm track, which can cause major snow. Right now, it looks like the Great Lakes track will predominate. So, the winter will average out mild to near normal. The Midwest will usually get the most snow and cold.
All this appears to be the result of an El Nino which will be just strong enough to spare the Northeast from a brutal winter.. But there will be storms , wind,rain and snow aplenty. You just won't be shoveling it all winter long.
Having said that, after a storny Wednesday and Thursday, we will have colder weather settling in this Saturday and for the next 7 to 10 days afterward. The mild days of November are about to become only a memory, at least for a while. Remember, winter is just starting. A major cold air invasion will hit Canada late this week. This could lead to a very cold outbreak here in mid- December.
My winter forecast will be updated just before Christmas, because there definitely are mixed signals on the upcoming winter.
As famed weather historian David Ludlum once said, " The weather will always surprise you! " .
