December 25-26, 2008 Weather: Gorgeous then

2008-12-26T16:53:00.001-05:00

The weather yesterday (Christmas, December 25, 2008) in Jersey City was gorgeous -- it was sunny, not too cold, with a little bit of cloud. Gorgeous to say it simply.

On the other hand, we have some some showers today (December 26, 2008), which is a good thing as it melts down the remaining ice on the ground.

December 24, 2008 Weather: It's Rainy Day

2008-12-24T12:30:00.002-05:00

It's rainy day in Jersey City. Forecast says it is expected to shower throughout the day. The weather temperature is in the mid-40's, so it's not really that cold. The ice still hasn't melted yet, making it slippery to walk around. In general, today is wet and the commute is a little messy.

For the weather forecast tomorrow (december 25th, Christmas Day), it is expected to be a gorgeous day, with temperature reaching to mid-40's again. No rain, snow, or shower -- just a sunny day with clear skies! Hopefully the weather forecast is accurate.

December 23, 2008 Weather: Cold Then Warm

2008-12-23T09:34:00.003-05:00

Yesterday's weather in here Jersey City was brutally cold, but today, not as much. The start of the day will be cold, but nowhere close to the temperature yesterday. The temperature this morning is in the low-20's but it will climb up to low-30's later this afternoon.

Although I can see lots of sunshine as of writing, the skies will be partly cloudy as the day progresses. The blistering windchill is finally gone, but it is still cold out there. Watch out for the ice from the last snow storm, it is slippery, so be extra careful when walking outdoors.

Enjoy the rest of the day and take advantage of this seemingly good weather condition.

December 19, 2008 Weather: Snow Storm and Rain

2008-12-19T23:45:00.003-05:00

The snow started falling around 10-1030 A, and it steadily dropped not only in Jersey City but in the entire New Jersey. Almost the entire Tri-State area was blanketed with snow, the first major storm of the season. How deep was the snow? The deepest was recorded in Sparta, NJ with 7.5" of snow. In Newark, NJ, the accumulation was 4.4", while here in Jersey City, it looked like we had 3.5" to 4" of snow.

In the late afternoon, though, the snow fall turned into rain, which lessen the accumulation in Jersey City. The rain temporarily stopped around 8PM, although there was a light freezing rain weather forecast. The temperature dropped as well.

Here's a snap of McGinley Square area -- Glenwood Avenue and Bergen Avenue:

More snow pictures from other parts of Jersey City: Snow in Heights; Snow in Journal Square.

Today's Weather

The weather forecast for today: RAINY. Commute will be messy as we experience mix of rain and snow with early fog, but it will be dry in the late afternoon. The temperature is in the lower 40's.

December 16, 2008 Weather: "Flurrious" Start

2008-12-16T11:00:00.002-05:00

It is bad outside, we have flurries and snow but there's no accumulation since it has accompanying rain. Wet and gray today in Jersey City.

The temperature is in the low 40's, but the forecast says we haven't seen the worse for today.

We are going to have more rain today, and probably some snow.

I'll update if something significant happens.

[UPDATE 730 PM]

The first Winter Warning has been issued by the National Weather Services. It basically says Hudson County, New Jersey will experience up to half an inch of snow tonight. Read below for the warning.

Special Weather Statement for Hudson County, NJ

Issued by The National Weather Service
New York City, NY
5:35 pm EST, Tue., Dec. 16, 2008

A BAND OF LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE RUSH HOUR COMMUTE AND INTO THIS EVENING. TEMPERATURES ARE CURRENTLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 30S... AND ARE EXPECTED TO FALL A FEW DEGREES DURING THIS TIME. THIS MAY CAUSE SOME ROADS TO BECOME SLIPPERY. UP TO A HALF INCH TO AN INCH OF SNOW ACCUMULATION WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIME. ADDITIONALLY... THE VISIBILITY WILL BE REDUCED IN ANY HEAVIER BUSTS OF SNOWFALL. ANYONE TRAVELING THIS EVENING SHOULD PREPARE FOR POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS.

[Forecast for Tomorrow (Dec. 17, 2008) ]

According to nj.com, "On Wednesday commuters may slog through a messy mix of rain and snow, which will turn into rain in the late morning as temperatures climb to 40 degrees."

December 15, 2008 Weather: Record-Breaking Warmth!

2008-12-15T22:53:00.000-05:00

The weather in Jersey City was warm the entire day. The temperature reached to mid to high 60's! According to the news, the temperature was record-breaking: 67 degrees Fahrenheit -- beating the old record of 63 degrees.

The wind made the day more gorgeous. It was like Spring or Fall again.

It rained a little at night, though, around 7 in the evening.

Weather forecast says that tomorrow (December 16, 2008) will be the exact opposite of today. I guess we'll see.

December 14, 2008 Weather: Not As Cold As Yesterday

2008-12-14T11:41:00.005-05:00

If yesterday was cold in Jersey City, today - not as much. The weather temperature this morning was in the high 30's, but it will climb to mid-40's as the day progresses and will remain the same until the evening.

Right now, it is sunny. It looks gorgeous outside -- partly cloudy. Tomorrow (December 15, 2008), weather forecast says we will reach the 50's.

December 13, 2008 Weather: Back to Cold

2008-12-13T20:48:00.000-05:00

It's back to coldness here in Jersey City. The weather temperature went down to within 20 degrees Fahrenheit, especially at night.

It was generally sunny, and there were no traces of "leftover rain" from couple of days ago. Despite the bright day, it was a little breezy which didn't help keeping us warm.

The weather forecast for tomorrow (December 14, 2008) says it's not going to be as cold as today. I sure hope it is correct.

December 12, 2008 Weather: Showers but a Little Better

2008-12-12T08:34:00.003-05:00

It was wet yesterday in Jersey City, but luckily, we weren't adversely affected by flooding like in other parts of NJ.

The weather today got better. There's a little shower this morning with temperature in the 30's. It will climb to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, but will drop to 20's in the afternoon and night.

As a summary: Rain showers this morning with some sunshine during the afternoon hours. High 41F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 80%.

Due to the inclement weather yesterday, here's the New Jersey School Closings for Friday, Dec 12, 2008:

Holy Family Acad.-Bayonne	Bayonne	Delayed start at 9:00 AM

Lakeland-Andover	Lafayette	Delayed start at 10:30 AM

December 11, 2008 Weather: Rain all Through The Day

2008-12-11T07:03:00.002-05:00

It's very dark in Jersey City this morning -- cloudy as a matter of fact. That is because the weather forecast yesterday is correct: it's going to rain today.

Right now, the temperature is in the high 30's and it will stay around that number. The rain will fall and will continue until tomorrow (Friday, Dec. 12). As a matter of fact, a severe weather alert in Hudson County, NJ was issued yesterday.

Sloppy day indeed, so make sure you are properly geared for the rain if you're going out of your house.

December 10, 2008 Weather: Rainy and Mild

2008-12-10T06:45:00.004-05:00

Weather forecast for today in Jersey City is going to be rainy will rainfall of 2"-3.5". You're going to need something to get your feet dry and an umbrella if you're going out. The weather temperature is in the 60's (imagine that!) so it is going to be mild (65 degrees at noon).

However, tonight, cold air will push in, and will be persistent until Friday night. I will update this post once something significant happens.

UPDATE: 445PM

The photo above was taken at 430PM on Graham Street of Jersey City. According to the latest weather forecast, strong rain is pushing in not only in Jersey City or New York, but in the entire Tri-State area. As a matter of fact, a severe weather alert (Flood Watch) has been issued by the National Weather Service:

December 09, 2008 Weather: Cold Start Then Mild

2008-12-09T22:09:00.003-05:00

It was a cold start today in Jersey City, with temperature in the 30's. But as the day progressed, the temperature climb to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and right now, it is in the low 50's. The weather forecast was correct: it turned mild today.

It was definitely cloudy and became darker in the afternoon. Later in the evening, there was a shower, but it didn't persist.

The weather forecast for tomorrow (Dec. 10, 2008) says temperature will be in the 60's, but it will also rain, not only in Hudson County but also in New York City. News said there "might" be a chance of "Severe Weather Alert" so stay tuned.

December 08, 2008 Weather: Cold Weather Continues

2008-12-08T21:56:00.002-05:00

The cold weather here in Jersey City continues. The temperature is in the 30's but the wind breeze makes it much colder than normal.

Tomorrow (Dec. 09), weather forecast said that it is going to rain. We'll see. ;)

December 07, 2008 Weather: Sunny But Windy!

2008-12-07T19:52:00.002-05:00

The weather looks nice outside. The sun is out, and clouds cover the skies. But it is cold due to winds. In fact, the National Weather Services has issued a wind advisory for Hudson County, NJ:

2008-12-06T21:43:00.000-05:00

First snow flakes dropped in Jersey City at around 8PM. The weather temperature is within the 30's, but it rained a little then it snowed.

It wasn't sticking to the grounds, but the snow flakes accumulated on top of the cars, bushes, grasses, and plants.

Tomorrow, forecasts say that it is going to be windy so watch out.

December 05, 2008 Weather: Sunny and Cloudy

2008-12-05T00:18:00.003-05:00

We're headed for a cold start again in Jersey City. Weather forecast says that temperature will be in the high 20's in the morning, but will climb to and stay at mid 30's through the afternoon. It will be sunny, but it will also be partly cloudy today.

In general, weather is looking good.

December 04, 2008 Weather: Cloudy, Chance of Rain

2008-12-04T22:01:00.002-05:00

Looks like the good weather in Jersey City comes in spurts nowadays. It wasn't that bad this morning, although temperature was in the high 30's -- it wasn't that cold. At noon, clouds began to cover the skies, and birds flew around. "It's supposed to rain today." my co-worker said.

She was right. The light rain started in the afternoon, around 4Pm as the day grew darker. Right now, at 10PM, it is still drizzling.

Hoping to see a good weather tomorrow.

December 03, 2008 Weather: Cold Start, Then Sunny

2008-12-03T14:49:00.001-05:00

The day starts cold in Jersey City, but the weather will improve as the day progresses. Temperature was in the 30 degrees this morning, but will climb in the 50's in the afternoon. This is type of weather that I like! Not too cold, not too hot!

Yup, it's not gray today as the sun is out. But for how long will it last?

December 1, 2008 Weather: 50 Degrees Temperature

2008-12-01T09:05:00.002-05:00

Nice start for December: The sun is out with some clouds, the temperature is in the 50's, and there's a little bit of wind. Basically, the weather is good in Jersey City!

Weather forecast reports that there's a chance of shower in the afternoon. It is not really cold but temperature will drop to 40's in the evening.

Enjoy your day! I saw the weather forecast for tomorrow, and it is looking good!

November 30, 2008 Weather: Rain/Showers

2008-11-30T10:14:00.003-05:00

November is going to end in a bad weather note here in Jersey City. The morning started with rain, but it slowly downgraded to drizzle. At 10AM today, the current temperature is at 37 degrees Fahrenheit, but it will climb to mid-40's as the day progresses.

I will be surprised to see sunshine today, as the skies look very gray. Severe Weather Alers from National Weather Services below:

November 29, 2008 Weather: Mostly Cloudy

2008-11-29T10:10:00.000-05:00

The weather today is mostly cloudy, with temperature still in the mid-40 degrees Fahrenheit. The photo above is a snapshot of West Side section of Jersey City. You'll notice that thick clouds cover the blue skies.

Weather forecast tomorrow reports that it will not be good, as we might experience rain showers.

November 28, 2008 Weather: Mostly Sunny!

2008-11-28T20:52:00.002-05:00

Black Friday is not black after all in Jersey City. The day after Thanksgiving is gorgeous, as the sun is out the entire time. The weather isn't that cold.

Temperature is still in the mid-40's, but on a personal note, it felt somewhere in the low-50's.

Tonight, the skies are clear, and the weather temperature dropped to high 30's. However, I can still manage to get out of the house without proper footwear. Imagine that!

Tomorrow, I expect another gorgeous day.

Thanksgiving 2008 Weather

2008-11-27T11:08:00.003-05:00

Happy Thanksgiving! Today, Jersey City will experience a nice Fall weather! Temperature is around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, it WAS partly cloudy this morning, turning into mostly sunny and sunny as the day progresses.

The weather today is a prelude of tomorrow's gorgeous weather. Today is partly cloudy in the morning, and mostly sunny in the afternoon. Temperature is in the mid-40's.

Expect the same weather in Jersey City for tomorrow Thanksgiving holiday. It might be even better!

November 25, 2008 Weather: Rainy and Cloudy!

2008-11-25T08:30:00.002-05:00

Once you step out of your house, you will definitely feel that today is going to be wet in Jersey City. The weather is not that cold compared to last week, but it is already drizzling outside very early in the morning. Expect more showers to come as the day progresses.

Temperature is in the mid-40's, and the skies will be cloudy in the afternoon. Sorry, no sunshine today!

Tomorrow I believe the weather forecast is mostly cloudy. We'll find out in less than 24 hours. ;)

Sunday in Jersey City is okay. Weather is tolerable, despite the temperature still in the 30's. Compared to previous days, today is relatively "warm". It's not raining, but it's not really sunny. As a matter of fact, it is mostly cloudy today, with a little bit of wind. Perhaps we'll get colder as the day progresses.

November 22, 2008 Weather: Cold but Sunny Saturday

2008-11-22T12:07:00.000-05:00

Today, we have a sunny Jersey City Saturday, but the weather still remains cold. Chilly is the exact word. Temperature stays below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and I believe it will stay that way until tomorrow.

Residents wore gloves, if not, their hands stays inside their pockets. Hoods and hats are on, to keep the heads warm. Hopefully, the weather tomorrow is not as cold as today or as the past few days.

November 21, 2008 Weather: Another Chilly Day

2008-11-21T21:36:00.003-05:00

Just like yesterday, today is another chilly day, which is below the normal temperature. Weather forecasts say that cold weather will continue for the rest of the week. Temperature in Jersey City will not climb and will stay under 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Thanks to windchill, going out of the house will require few layers of clothing!

Well, as long as it doesn't rain, I can stand it. ;)

November 20, 2008 Weather: Cloudy, Still Below 40

2008-11-20T14:58:00.004-05:00

Despite the sun peeking once in a while, it's mostly cloudy today in Jersey City. The weather is still cold, but not as cold as yesterday or the other day when we have few flurries in the morning, although the temperature stays below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tonight, the weather forecast says we are going to have clear skies. How accurate is that remains to be seen. Tomorrow (November 21, 2008), there might be chances of snow in the morning until in the afternoon.

November 19, 2008: Still Cold

2008-11-19T20:49:00.001-05:00

Yes, the weather is still cold outside. It is also amazingly sunny in Jersey City, which was deceiving if you were just looking out from your window. Once you step out of the house or apartment, you'll definitely feel a huge difference in temperature.

The temp today is around 30 degrees Farenheit. When it got darker, the temperature dropped even more.

Hope your day was good.

November 18, 2008 Weather: Morning Flurries, Wintry Feeling

2008-11-18T08:59:00.002-05:00

I saw flurries this morning on my way out to work.Weather forecasts in Jersey City said it will snow, but it didn't. It was cold, with temperature in the 30's, as Jersey City residents covered themselves up with layers of clothes and coats to warm up. The mild wind definitely didn't help.

I heard tomorrow's weather is going to be much colder.

November 17, 2008 Weather: Sunny, Cold, Possible Snow

2008-11-17T08:45:00.002-05:00

Don't be deceived by the bright sunny day, the weather is cold out in Jersey City! According to National Weather Service, there might be a chance of snow later today.

Temperature as of writing is 38 degrees F. But it will hover around 40's to mid-40's

Will try to update if something significant comes up today in Jersey City.

November 16, 2008 Weather: Cold and Clear

2008-11-16T21:23:00.002-05:00

Despite the sun shining today in Jersey City, the weather feels cold: the temperature dropped to 30's following the windy and rainy weather yesterday.

Tonight is relatively clear, although temperature is still an issue. Make sure your windows are shut, as it is going to be cold all night long.

Have a good night sleep! Tomorrow will be another cold Fall day!

November 15, 2008: Rainy and Windy!

2008-11-15T09:09:00.003-05:00

The background is New York City from Liberty State Park, Jersey City. The weather doesn't look too appealing: it is foggy, cold, windy, and it is beginning to drizzle at 9AM today. I am 100% sure that it is going to rain, so take extra care when you are driving. As a matter of fact, National Weather Service issued a Tornado watch in the Tri-State area.

By the way, temperature is in the 40's.

Severe Storms Possible

November 9, 2008: Feels Exactly Like Fall

2008-11-09T10:01:00.002-05:00

Today, you can say that it is actually FALL in Jersey City. The weather is good: the sun is out, coupled with mild breeze. In other words, today is gorgeous!

There's no need to wear thick sweaters and coats. I even went out wearing an open slippers! In my estimation, the temperature today is between 50's and 60's.

This is what I call NICE!

November 4, 2008 Weather: Sunny then Cloudy

2008-11-04T12:36:00.006-05:00

Jersey City residents do not have a reason not to go out and vote today. The weather looks okay. It started cold in the morning, then the sun came out. In the afternoon, the clouds began to cover to skies, although they didn't look like rain clouds.

In the picture above, residents cast their votes today at the Fire Station on Sip Avenue, Jersey City.

Will there be change when we wake up tomorrow?

October 26, 2008: Sun shines after the rain

2008-10-26T06:32:00.001-04:00

After the bad weather yesterday, which caused power outages in some areas of Jersey City, the sun shines today.

I have no photos to show how pretty it is outside (maybe in future entries), but the skies are definitely clear!

Temperature today is between 40's (morning) and 60's (afternoon). So what are you waiting for? Go out and have fun! :)

October 25, 2008: Windy! (Plus rain)

2008-10-25T15:05:00.004-04:00

Sometimes, the best way to forecast the weather is through the birds. For example, the pigeons in Journal Square area of Jersey City were flying deliriously, and that meant one thing -- the weather is going to be bad.

If you go outside, you'll feel the strong gust of wind, which will lead to rain later this afternoon till evening.

Don't believe me? Well, below's the National Weather Service Advisory:
