Our coastal storm develops just off the Monmouth County beaches. The positioning alone doesn't really bode well for a wintry development, however, the timing of it all, in the wee hours of Thursday morning could have just enough cold air to help see a wintry mix form in elevated communities along and north of Interstate 80. Worst case scenario is 1-2 inches of snow. I highly doubt that happens, but I do think a few neighborhoods might wake up with a coating on the colder surfaces.
The weekend starts cloudy but will finish with sunny skies on Sunday. Temperatures start warming up next week. A few towns may flirt with 70 degrees by the middle of next week with sunshine.

A coastal storm will continue to impact the tri-state through Thursday morning. Rounds of heavy rain and high winds will likely create unfavorable or hazardous conditions during daytime hours, along with flooding concerns across the region.
