Dan Zarrow's Forecast

This is likely to be New Jersey's coldest day in almost three years. Even though there is a warmup ahead, the arctic chill will return soon enough.

Don't give me that "it's winter, it's supposed to be cold" nonsense - you know you're reaching for the heavy coat and extra blankets this week too.

While Thanksgiving getaway conditions will be nearly perfect, rain on Black Friday and possibly some Sunday snowflakes are in New Jersey's forecast too.

After weeks of nice, quiet weather, Monday night into Tuesday will turn quite nasty for New Jersey, with flash flooding, gusty winds, and coastal issues possible.

A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for all 21 counties of New Jersey, in anticipation of very heavy rain and potential flooding within 48 hours.

New Jersey's only rain chance for both Thursday and Friday will be one or two very isolated popup showers.

While the holiday weekend will start showery, unsettled, cloudy, and cool, it will gradually improve as the 4th of July holiday approaches.

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.
