News 12 Storm Watch Team meteorologists are tracking wet weather that is expected to begin Tuesday afternoon and last through Wednesday morning - just in time for holiday traveling. News 12 will continue to monitor any changes in the forecast and its impacts on flights and roadways.
News 12 Storm Watch Team Meteorologist Scott Sincoff says temperatures will peak in the 40s on Monday.
NEW: We're keeping an eye on a potential system Tuesday into Wednesday which could bring some rain and wind into the Garden State and the tri-state area. This will likely have some impacts on holiday travel by car and airplane from late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Some spots to the north and west could see some snowflakes or ice mixed in with those gusty winds and bands of rain. Even a small chance of pea-size hail is possible within those rain bands further south.
