FORECAST:
Clouds are already collecting overhead. A rather vigorous storm will take shape overnight and begin pushing rain into the region as early as 9 a.m. tomorrow. I do not think that Thursday mornings commute is going to be very problematic, however the weather will turn quickly and more robust rains with grumbles of thunder is likely by lunchtime. From this point on in our Thursday the weather is going to be very fickle.
Colder air will get funneled in behind the mid-afternoon rain. Temperatures will be dropping swiftly and to quote the 80s/90s rock mega group Guns N' Roses "and it's hard to hold a candle in that cold November rain." Just before the sunsets I think temperatures will have plummeted almost 10-15 degrees in just a few short hours.
Lingering showers will continue through Thursday night and the winds will get breezier. This will not be as bad of a storm like what we saw just a few weeks ago, but that wind and the lingering rain will bring a bit of a shiver.
As the temperatures continue to drop for Friday morning, should there be any lingering moisture in the air it would get changed over to a wintry mix and snow showers. Will it accumulate? We need elevation for that. Any New Jersey neighborhood above 900 ft. in elevation has a chance to see the first dusting of the year. Will the snow linger into the weekend? No. The opportunity for snow showers begins to shut off after 5 p.m. on Friday.
The weekend ladies and gentlemen will be windy, and it will feel A LOT colder than what is being represented on thermometers. Dress for the breeze.
