I They can go, you know what, and a lot of times they do that. It's for a good cause, so I'm not, not too much, not too much on the polar bear plungers, not too much. However, it's a little cold cold for me we were in the 40s. Would you do that? It's for a good cause, for a good cause, for a good cause. All right, Ben, we'll do it. Storm on team meteorologist, ladies and gentlemen, John Cuban, what say you for the weekend? Because as we said, round two, snow for you tomorrow for some spots, especially bound out that way, southern parts of the Garden State, we're working with rain before we see that change over to snow, but nonetheless, you do wanna grab the winter gear as you're stepping out, the boots, the gloves, the big coat, and again, if you don't have to go out in it, not a bad idea to stay inside. We're watching showers to move in by daybreak, and again when we. Showers and watching rain showers for areas south across the Garden State where those temperatures are in the mid to maybe even upper 30s, but we're working with snow elsewhere as we're looking for areas north. So again, rain opportunity south of 195, areas up north, we're working with snow. Here's a look at your 12, 12 o'clock. Certainly by the time you head into your afternoon, temperatures, yeah, they're gonna be cold enough for all of us to really get into that snow activity, snow shower, especially a little bit south. But you're noticing right along. The shoreline from Tom's River down to Wildwood, we're still working with the chance, you know, with that rain and a bit of a wintry mix. It's just really gonna be that temperature profile which is gonna decide what kind of pre-sip we get. The longer we have rain, the less snow we'll see to the south, and when we get to the snowfall numbers, which I'll show you in just a bit, you'll notice again where we're seeing those lesser amounts. Snow showers are gonna be with us throughout the day entirely, just about, really not. Till the late evening into your night, we'll finally see those snow showers move out and then we're gonna see that colder Arctic air behind it. Again, we're looking feel-like numbers if you do have to step outdoors for your Monday, for MLK Day, and if you don't have the day off, do bundle up. Feel like numbers will be in the single digits for the morning, teens for your afternoon. Snowfall totals, again, we're looking at about 2 to 4. Again, that's the bull's eye, central part of the Garden State, a little bit. North and northeast spots like Bergen County, Union County, uh, Hudson County, we'll see those numbers. And then as you're continuing to push up a little bit more north and northwest, you're seeing a little bit less, anywhere from maybe trace to 1 inch. Same for areas south. And again, that's because we can see that rain change over to a little bit of some sleet before uh snow uh throughout the day. And then I said, getting into next week, colder air arrives. Tuesday looks like it's gonna be the coldest.

Counties around NJ clear Saturday's snow to make way for another round on Sunday

All that snow we've been telling you about creating some slippery conditions on roads around New Jersey. News 12 New Jersey's Christine Quay giving us a look at some of those conditions and how people are preparing for more of the same tomorrow. Slush and slow going. That's what drivers were seeing in the early part of the afternoon as the snow began to lighten up. Towns and boroughs got to work clearing the roads. The people that's not used to driving in the snow, so. It's definitely a challenge dealing with that, but just take your time. That's all. While some took advantage of the flurries today by having a little fun with the snow, teams were certainly out with shovels and plows from out west in Hunterdon County down to the central part of our state in Middlesex. Now most of those roads and major highways were clear by the time that it was dark, but we did make sure to take a ride around and check on some of those hot spots for you. It's been really clear on the highway. Bridgewood, where I left from was still snowy, but everything since I got on the highway has been great. If you want to get on the highway, you got to go on the shoulder, so you got to make sure the shoulder is actually clear. Many working well into the evening, trying to make way for what's expected to be another dumping of snow Sunday. But at least what's on the ground now, it'll take part for tomorrow and make their job a little more easier. Meanwhile, some stocking up in case of more wintry weather, prepping for a possible storm, but hoping for the best. For 3 inches or so. I don't know how much, but I know that we ran out of salt, so my husband told me run out and get some before this starts. It seemed like it was going to be sleet, not snow, and I have 2 Girl Scout troops who are out here selling cookies, so I'm hoping that it's not too bad tomorrow. Christine Quay, News 12, New Jersey.

New Jersey road crews make ready for more snow on Sunday

DCSnowCoverageJP_2026-01-17-17-21-47

New song, New Jersey's Jennifer Porto Real was in Morris and Somerset counties checking on the road conditions and how people were faring. Many in North Jersey woke up to a white morning. Some spots some more than 1 inch enough to make some roads slippery for drivers. They're apparently salted, but they they need to do a little plowing, I think. That didn't stop people from heading out, whether for the beauty. I have a hair appointment. So um I don't want to miss that appointment or to have some fun. I like doing hot cocoa and I like making snow angels and I like making a snowman with mom and dad. It's been a lot of fun having a little bit of a snowball fight here with uh with my daughter Emma. And to make sure the roads were safe, counties like Morris were up all night soaking the roads. We have great road crews. They know what to do. It's really about informing the public and not taking chances driving on. You know, roadways are going to be slippery. The biggest concern is the icy conditions. We're always concerned about refreeze overnight, so we tell people to leave extra time for they're going to commute if they have to be on the road, but if they don't have to, if they have a choice, uh, to kind of stay put, enjoy the day, enjoy the weekend, and let the plows and first responders hang out on the roads. If you got some snow today, try to enjoy it, even if you're not a fan, maybe go sledding or try to do a snow angel like I'm about to do. Reporting in Badminster, Jennifer Portoreal, News of New Jersey.

Weekend winter weather: What to expect Saturday and Sunday

RIZZO WX STORMRECORD

Two weather systems are headed our way for this upcoming weekend across the tri-state. The first one, Saturday, a light snow event. Now, honestly everyone, this is a meager weather event, 1 to 2, maybe an isolated 3 inches of snow could be expected at the higher elevations north and west of the city, but this thing comes in and passes through in about what, 3 hours' time from New Jersey at 9:00 a.m., passing out toward the east end of Long Island by 3 in the afternoon. Most of the areas north and west of the city are going to see some light accumulate. Snow, but again, it happens like that very quickly as it slides across the tri-state could end as light rain showers out toward the east end of Long Island and even in southern New Jersey, probably going to be dealing with just rain showers there for the late morning and early afternoon. Snowfall totals are going to be upwards to 1 to 3 inches, generally fluffier at the higher elevations, but again, a meager weather system not posing a huge threat for most places here. Some outliers there in northern Connecticut. But otherwise not really a big deal for Saturday. It's going to be in and out. So here's the timing for that system. We have New York City 10:00 to 10, New Jersey 9:00 to 120, Hudson Valley 9 to 120, Connecticut at 11 to 200, and Long Island from 120 to about 3 o'clock on Saturday. Now that's the first of two weather systems. The second one is that close call, that glancing blow with that coastal storm. This one expected to stay far enough away from the tri-state area, but again, a. Really close call here because southern New Jersey and the east end of Long Island will see the fringe of the storm, which will bring those areas some snowflakes. Now a small adjustment to the track, what, 1015, 20 miles west or north, could mean the difference between a couple of flurries and light snow showers to a dusting to say 2 to 4 inches of snow. So this is something that's going to be watched very carefully. It really depends on the intensity of the Saturday weather system that will determine if it's. Feels the power from this coastal storm on Sunday. So of course most areas are going to see this as a miss, but there are a select few communities in southern and coastal New Jersey and the east end of Long Island near the Twin Forks that may experience some accumulating snow on Sunday. Again, something that needs to be considered with changes to the forecast for Saturday. For Monday though, we're actually looking good, 37 degrees, mostly sunny, a little breezy, but things turn quiet.
