Synopsis:
Sun will give way to clouds today. It’ll be cold. Many areas will struggle to get to the freezing mark.
A weak system will pass to our South tonight into Thursday morning. Light snow is possible for much of the region tonight into early Thursday morning, the exception being Northern areas. A few hours of steadier snow will occur over central and Southern NJ. These areas have the potential to receive 1″-3″ of snow by 10 am Thursday. The sun will return with readings near freezing
A second weak system will pass even farther South Friday morning only giving the area clouds with just a chance of a few hours of snow over Southern NJ. The sun will be the dominate feature in the sky. Despite the bright conditions it will be bitterly cold with readings only in the 20s as Arctic high pressure influences our region.
This weekend should start off tranquil. I’m keeping Saturday snow-free at this time (although some light snow may sneak in later in the day). A coastal storm will form off the NJ coast Saturday night and move Northeast on Sunday. The threat is there for snow or a mix Saturday night into Valentine’s Day.
Needless to say, we are in a very active pattern.
Stay Tuned.
