WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
WHAT'S NEW: Most of the state just had its coldest high temperatures since Dec. 24, 2024 and more frigid air will come overnight. No record lows are expected but it will be roughly 20 degrees below average for this time of the year.
WHAT'S NOW: Clear and cool. Temperatures will fall into the teens quickly after dark. People should know to bundle up when outdoors and be aware of icy spots from the snow on Saturday.
WHAT'S NEXT: It will be frigid out during the morning, staying in the single digits until the end of the morning rush hour for most of the day. Monday will be below freezing for high temperatures. A weak storm system will pass after. Up to four hours of snow (northern half of New Jersey) and rain (southern half) will be likely between 12 a.m. to 12 p.m. Tuesday.
Accumulations will range from coatings along the I-95 corridor to 3 inches in Northwestern New Jersey. Temperatures will slowly moderate into the holiday week. However, it'll be in the 30s until Friday. The weekend then looks mostly dry. The biggest forecast question will be does high pressure hold on long enough for a fully dry weekend? Or will rain come Sunday?
