Milder weather is expected today with highs near 40. This milder weather is actually seasonal for this time of year. There will be a mostly sunny sky expected as well with clouds building tonight.
Lows reach freezing for tonight in advance of tomorrow’s rain showers. There will be scattered rain showers through Saturday midday with highs in the mid-40s. It won’t be bad, just damp for the mid-afternoon. A few snow showers may mix at the higher elevations where it will be colder, which is typical. Still trending mostly wet snow in these areas.
An arctic front crashes into New Jersey through the evening and overnight preparing Sunday’s environment for snow. This arctic front produces a coastal storm along the mid-Atlantic near the Carolinas and moves it closer to New Jersey for Sunday. This allows snow to spread across the state through Sunday midday. If the storm comes close enough, there could be mixing along the coastal areas of southern Monmouth and Ocean counties.
All communities in New Jersey should plan for no less than 1 inch of snow, with 2-4 inches most likely. A band of heavier snow is also possible, but the location of this snow band is still uncertain. This snow band will be the over-performing part of the storm with 4-6 inches, usually on the northwestern side of the storm’s center. It would be about 20 miles wide and currently predicted to be near the I-95 corridor. This can slide farther north and northwest if the storm comes even closer to New Jersey, which would also push the mixing inland more. This is only a small shift of under 100 miles north for the storm itself to produce this outcome. When all is said and done, the snow should be plowable in many locations across the state.
Monday’s weather turns windy and colder with highs near 28, so it’s important to clean up on Sunday night or else the snow will freeze for Monday morning.
Extreme cold settles in for the midweek with highs remaining in the teens through Tuesday and lows will sink to the single digits, if not below zero in the north and west.
