Little toThere is a lot to talk about weather-wise for us here in New Jersey. We have passing flurries ongoing through tonight. Milder weather briefly returns on Friday and Saturday. All eyes are on the weather maps for a possible Sunday snowstorm or a near miss. All of this depends on where this potential weathermaker develops in the coming days.

Finally, punishing cold moves in early next week. Morning lows will be in the single digits. Wind chills could range from -5 to -15 below zero. Daytime highs will be the coldest in two years. A jammed-packed few days of meteorological mayhem.

We will see a few passing snow showers tonight, as a weak clipper system drops down from the Great Lakes. Little to no accumulation is expected. Visibility could drop for a short period, so be careful driving around tonight. Lows are expected to be in the upper-teens and low-20s.

The winds have changed direction. Becoming more west-south-westerly. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but it will allow the temperatures to rise a few degrees more tomorrow, possibly getting to near 40 for an afternoon high.

Temperatures will remain milder heading into the weekend. Saturday could be in the mid-40s. That would be five or six degrees warmer than average. The caveat is that we would also be dealing with mainly cloudy skies and passing rain showers from time to time.

Sunday has become more of a wildcard with newer computer guidance suggesting a storm later in the day that would steer moisture into a cold pocket of air and voila - snow. There are more questions than answers right now, and I am not jumping on this latest computer run and shouting from the mountain top "Here it comes, snow my God!” But it has caught my attention, and my Spidey snow senses are beginning to tingle. Stay tuned.

Mind-numbing and dangerous cold is also waiting in the wings. If the forecast pans out, it looks like a piece of truly polar air, like straight from Siberia polar air, will be sitting on top of the region Tuesday into Wednesday. It's the type of cold that could cause hypothermia and frostbite in people and animals.

Other likely impacts would be an increase in heating demand and unfortunately freezing and bursting of water pipes. Morning lows could be in the single digits with wind chill values well below zero. Daytime highs would be in the upper-teens with wind chill values during the day in the single digits.
