WEATHER BALLOONER Northern New Jersey

Monday, June 15, 2015

It is the last week of spring, here is the summer forecast.

This summer should feature: no prolonged heat waves, hot weather will occur but only of 1 to 3 days in length , shifting between cool dry weather and warm ,humid , rainy spells. Heavy tropical like downpours will occur in some areas. Not much heat but loads of humidity is likely.

This I derived from Steve DiMartino from NyNjPa weather.

But this forecast is volatile and could be way off with no notice. It is summer and the jet steam is very fickle in this season. If you travel north, south or west the summer will be different than here in the northern Mid Atlantic. California will be stuck in the drought that they have been having.

A cold, snowy winter season is still looking likely, if the current big pattern holds, as it has, the last two winters. No big changes have developed so far.

HAVE A NICE SUMMER!

The long range view that I am picking up is that the basic pattern we have had for over a year and a half, has not changed. If everything holds together, next winter will be yet another blast. The Pacific Ocean temperatures have us locked in, until something changes. So, bad news for California.
