We’ll squeeze out one more semi-pleasant day today with high temperatures near 50. There will be increasing clouds but still a nice day by late January standards. Look for rain to arrive before sunrise tomorrow. Some areas to the far north could see a little freezing rain at the beginning of the rain. As a result, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for northern counties.

This shouldn’t be that bad and confined mostly to higher elevations and the Poconos. We’ll warm up tomorrow and all areas will change to rain.

Speaking of rain we’ll be getting a good dose of it tomorrow. Look for 1-1.5″ of rain for the entire western New Jersey area.

We should start to dry out later in the day on Saturday. On Sunday the winds will pick up as the storm departs but we could see some scattered rain or snow showers.

Looking at the week ahead our above normal temperature pattern continues with high temperatures near or just above 40. No important precipitation threats until, wait for it, the following weekend.
