ALERTS: There is a WIND ADVISORY in effect for New Jersey through Friday for gusts up to 50mph.

A lot of weather rolls in for Friday with high temperatures reaching nearly 60 degrees near 6 a.m. instead of the afternoon. A front delivers copious rainfall, totals up to 1-1.5" across the state for Friday morning.

The water is enhanced by snowmelt which adds to the flood threat.

A cold front swings through, whipping the gusts up to 30-50 mph throughout the morning and then eventually the day.

Temperatures crash from 60 to 40 in the mid-morning then gradually fall even more through the afternoon and evening as colder Canadian air forces away any sense of milder conditions. The wind calms into Saturday, but it is still brisk. The weekend is fair with sun and clouds and temperatures closer to normal.

For today, it's simple: Sun leaving way to clouds. The cold Thursday morning temperatures won't be felt again until Saturday morning.
