FORECAST:

It's cold. The cold weather continues this week with morning lows in the mid-teens north and west and the lower to mid-20s elsewhere. The wind creates feel-like temperatures that stay below freezing even though afternoon highs reach the lower 40s.

The sky will be mostly sunny with thin clouds, but the sun is now becoming "ineffective" as the angle of the sun in respect to the season is quite low and not as powerful. This makes the afternoon air feel cold, too. With the lack of apricity (warmth from the winter sun), the following days feel wintry.

In fact, a wintry mix is expected by Thursday morning as an approaching front arrives. This front will drop unmeasurable amounts of snow north and west. If anything does accumulate, it will be under an inch in those spots that do not mix.

Some roads especially in Sussex, Warren, northern Passaic, and northwestern Morris counties will be slick on Thursday morning.

The front passes through by noon on Thursday clearing the sky but also introducing sharp winds that make the air feel even colder.

Friday's highs barely make it above freezing.

The weekend is expected to be dry, but cold.
