Dan Zarrow's Forecast

A powerful storm system will combine with yet another cold air mass to bring a multitude of weather impacts to New Jersey in winter's final days.

From 'brrr' to 'yay', New Jersey's weather forecast for the next week has high temperatures ranging from the 30s to the 70s.

A fast-moving clipper system will produce a quick burst of heavy snow over northwestern New Jersey on Monday, which could lead to some travel troubles.

Check your snow shovels and salt supply, as New Jersey's next winter storm is going to roll in fast and hard during the daytime hours Thursday.

Bottom line: No matter where in New Jersey you are, Thursday is going to turn into a wintry, messy day.

New Jersey's second storm system of the week, the grand finale of this stretch of hyperactive weather, looks even more wintry and more impactful.

The northern half of New Jersey faces a foot or more of additional snow accumulation Monday into Tuesday. Wind and coastal flooding will be problems too.

A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for almost the entire state, as bands of heavy snow, sleet, and rain will significantly impact travel through early next week.

Although snow will stick to the cold ground quickly and some icy travel is possible, Monday night’s storm really looks like ‘no big deal’ for New Jersey.

Our impending snowflakes and cooldown will be fairly unremarkable and brief, but there is another burst of even colder air on the horizon.

It will be a rainmaker, although that rain could be heavy at times, with possible lightning and thunder and marginally gusty winds.

With snow, ice, rain, wind, and coastal flooding still on the table, this is easily New Jersey's strongest winter storm signature in several years.
