Weather Tomorrow: New Jersey Braces for Snow, Rain, and Gusty Winds
The storm's impact will be felt throughout the state, with significant snowfall and strong winds expected, and a possibility of another significant snowstorm next week, making it essential for residents to stay informed and prepared for the changing weather conditions.
A winter storm is expected to hit New Jersey over the weekend, bringing up to 4 inches of snow and 2 inches of rain, with a transition to rain expected before accumulations get too high, followed by gusty winds and a return to cold temperatures.
The storm system will move into the state on Saturday, with snow expected to start falling around 1 pm and spread from west to east, with the most significant accumulation in northern parts of the state. The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings for parts of eight counties, and a High Wind Watch has been issued for the entire state. The snow will briefly turn to ice and sleet around 9 pm before changing to rain overnight, continuing through Sunday morning.
The rain will clear by 8 am on Sunday, followed by a wind watch starting Sunday afternoon and lasting through Monday. Strong winds are expected, with gusts potentially exceeding 50 mph, and wind chills in the teens on Monday and Tuesday mornings. Temperatures will warm up on Sunday, reaching the mid to upper 40s, before cooling down again on Monday and Tuesday. A significant winter storm is also possible next Wednesday-Thursday, with uncertainty remaining high.
New Jersey residents are advised to prepare for the tumultuous weekend weather forecast, with potential power outages and tree damage from the strong winds. The cold air will persist into next week, with highs struggling to reach the mid-30s and overnight lows dipping into the teens.
