There is a FREEZE WARNING in effect for this morning until 9 a.m. for Hudson, eastern Essex, and eastern Union counties for below freezing temperatures that can damage sensitive plants.

Stormy weather is now very likely for Friday as periods of on and off showers early in the day gradually intensify into thunderstorms for the evening. The stormy weather is likely to create flooding in poor drainage areas, urban communities, and on low roadways such as underpasses. There will be thunderstorms overnight with rain lasting into Saturday morning before conditions improve.

The weekend forecast has been volatile, constantly changing between fair and unsettled.

Saturday's weather is likely to be unsettled early with damp conditions and showers, but it is also possible that this weather will depart sooner than later improving for the afternoon and evening.

Sunday looks good with sun and clouds.

Backing up to today, it is cold, and weather conditions will be slow to warm into the afternoon. Thankfully the April sun feels warm, so the high of near 50 degrees today will feel more comfortable than a 50 degree day in December.
