Warmer Temps and March snow

(Area Forecast-Union, NJ)
March 2 to March 7

It's March! February went out like a lion (Union, NJ got 12 inches from the snowstorm, a.k.a. "snowicane" that occurred February 25 to the 26) and looks like March will be coming in like a lamb, at least for this week. For Tuesday we can expect mostly cloudy skies and slightly warmer temperatures with the high reaching into the mid 40s. A deep low pressure system of the coast of Cape Cod, will be tracking eastward Tuesday night as we can expect a chance of snow and rain. Though the snow is still on the ground at Kean, last year around this time there was snow on the ground from a system that came through on March 2. I shot a video of the storm which can be found here. From that system a year ago, 5.3 inches of snow accumulated, no accumulation is expected for tomorrow night from this low pressure system. Another low pressure system from the Gulf of Mexico will move northward for Wednesday as we can expect a chance of rain and snow throughout the day and a high near 42. No accumulation is expected with this system as well. That low will then move off to the south east as high pressure from the west moves into the region for Thursday into the rest of the week. We can expect mostly cloudy skies for Thursday and a high near 40. For Friday temperatures will be slightly warmer with a high near 45 and mostly sunny skies. Looks to be a nice weekend for Saturday and Sunday as we can expect temperatures in the upper 40s and partly sunny skies for both days. Spring is almost here (March 20th) and don't forget to turn your clocks ahead one hour, daylight's savings time is March 14th.
