Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey’s Full Winter Forecast is Here
The Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey winter forecast is here from the weather experts, and if you’re in the area all winter, you’re likely curious about what to expect. Fall is a beautiful season, with cool, crisp nights, deep sunsets and vibrant foliage. But, right after fall, comes winter. I don’t like cold temperatures at all, so the warmer, the better in my book. More than anything, I don’t like winters that drag on and on and prefer an early spring. Here’s what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says about what to expect for this winter.
Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey Winter Forecast
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its latest prediction for the 2024-25 winter, and it’s an interesting one. Most of the country, according to the forecast, is on target to be likely warmed this coming winter, but a small part of the U.S. will be notably colder. Thankfully, that area isn’t close, as it’s in the northwestern part of the country, mainly the state of Washington. As for moisture, about half of the country is set to have more moisture than normal while the other half is looking at drier conditions. So, most areas of the country are looking to see at least temperatures or moisture different than what the National Weather Service considers normal.
It’s worth adding that the Farmer’s Almanac, in general, predicts temperatures up and snowfall down for most of the country this season. “This winter, temperatures will be up and snowfall down throughout most of the United States,” Carol Connare, the Almanac’s editor-in-chief, said. “While there will still be plenty of chilly temperatures and snow for most slopes, the high heating costs associated with the season shouldn’t hit so hard.” Connare added that they’re predicting “temperate, uneventful winter—potentially a welcome reprieve from the extremes of recent years.” I like the sound of that.
So, for Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey, all three states are looking at a 40%-50% chance of above normal temperatures. As for precipitation, in Pennsylvania, the majority of the state is looking at the chance of above normal precipitation, with the southwest part of the state, including Philadelphia, the only part looking at normal conditions. Both New Jersey and Delaware are expected to have normal moisture, with southern Delaware looking at below normal precipitation. I’m not happy about the precipitation, because that means snow, but I’ll take the warmer weather.
