Synopsis:.
The weather will cooperate for shoppers on Black Friday despite the chill. Skies will be sunny with readings a few degrees below the average high of 50º as high pressure noses in from East-Central Canada.
Tonight will be clear and cold with lights winds. Readings will fall below freezing throughout.
The weekend will be a 50/50 split. High pressure over Eastern Canada will dominate our weather for Saturday-the sun will dominate.
There will be a developing storm on the Mid-Atlantic coast Sunday. Enough cold air at the onset will set the stage for a snow or mix for much of the area beginning Sunday morning. Mainly rain is expected for Ocean county. Warmer air will work in as the storm intensifies just East of New Jersey. This will cause most of the frozen precipitation to go over to rain. The exception is areas to the North and West. Snow, sleet and freezing rain will likely continue. Here an accumulation is quite likely.
As the upper low swings to the coast it will capture the surface storm and redevelop it South of Long Island. This upper level feature will bring down cold air. Periods of rain changing to snow is likely. The heaviest precipitation looks to fall North & West of the City. Here the potential for accumulating snow is likely. At this time, the City and coast may receive a minor accumulation.
Behind the storm the sun will return on Tuesday.
