Snow on the way Friday, another threat next week from Tuesday through Thursday.

I still like my idea from Monday, that is a 4" to 8" snowfall this Friday. This was obtained from the GFS at that time.

Next week, a classic major snowmaker, ( or rainmaker ) may be setting up between Tuesday through Thursday.
The ingredients are as follows:

*Cold air in place to our north.
*A blocking high pressure near Greenland.
* A 50 / 50 low near the Canadian Maritimes.
* A high pressure ridge over the Rocky Mts.
* A negatively tilted trough over the east coast.
*A disturbance approaching from the west.
* moisture available from the Gulf.

Only rarely, do all these factors come together, to produce a major storm. Much too early to get excited at this time, but worth watching.

At NYNJPA WEATHER .COM meteorologist Steve DiMartino has most of NJ in the 3" to 6" zone.  The northeast corner is in the 4"to 8" zone.
