Western new jersey had morning lows in the mid teens. Today will be similar to yesterday but perhaps a couple of degrees cooler with partly sunny skies. We will gradually cloud up tonight with flurries arriving by Thursday morning. Look for periods of snow showers on Thursday with a coating to perhaps 1” at most as it looks now. This will bring the first round of even colder air to the eastern half of the nation. temperatures on Friday will not get out of the low to mid 20’s with a stiff wind.

Then another arctic front accompanied by a fast moving clipper will visit the area on Saturday. This will bring some light snow and even colder temperatures for Sunday into Monday. The map above show a computer model representation of Monday morning lows. Most of western NJ is below zero by 5 or 10 degrees!

So even though we’re well into winter and somewhat used to winter weather, I want the purpose of today’s blog to urge everyone to get ready for even colder weather to come unfortunately.
