WHAT TO KNOW
A developing nor’easter will bring a threat for severe thunderstorms this afternoon capable of damaging wind and flash flooding. Then cold air will allow for wintry mix to develop in north Jersey tonight and Friday morning. Little to no snow accumulation is expected on roadways, but a coating of snow is possible on grassy surfaces and cars.
MORNING SHOWERS
Light rain is expected for north Jersey with dry weather toward Middlesex and Somerset Counties southward. These areas could become stormy this afternoon. Temperatures are in the 50s.
AFTERNOON STRONG STORMS
There is a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms for central and south Jersey this afternoon. These storms could contain flash flooding and damaging wind is possible for the evening commute. Highs are in the 60s for South Jersey but near 50 northward.
FRIDAY IS WINTRY
Grab the winter jackets. A cold rain is expected all day with temperatures near 40 degrees. A stiff North wind at 20 mph develops overnight Thursday and will drop wind chills into the 20s and 30s all day Friday.
Wintry mix is expected Friday morning for high elevations and some model guidance also brings this for lower elevations. We can’t rule out a coating of snow as far south as Edison; however the forecast right now is for winter weather to remain in our northernmost high elevations.
Showers will taper off Friday evening but likely don’t completely dissipate until Saturday.
THE WEEKEND
The weekend will is breezy and mostly cloudy with temperatures in the 30s in the morning and the in the 40s most of the afternoon. This is much colder than average for this time of the year.
