First and foremost Merry Christmas for all who celebrate! The weather in western New Jersey is certainly not very Christmas like with fog this morning and afternoon high temperatures to be in the mid 60’s!

But we all knew the warm weather would have to come to an end sooner or later. Remember normal high temperatures for this time of year are in the upper 30’s!!

There will be some showers on and off from tonight into Sunday night. Monday morning looks rain free but then a storm system will be approaching our area Monday night into Tuesday. Enough cold air will start flowing into the area on Monday to give us high temperatures near normal. Monday night will feature a cold rain that will mix with sleet, especially in colder areas to the north and west and possibly mix with if not change to snow for a while. This all continues into Tuesday morning but warmer air will be arriving and should change us over to rain but mid day if not sooner. I don’t expect much if any in the way of accumulation at this point since the ground is still soo warm.

I’ll post updates on this as we approach. I just wanted to give a heads up wince there is a lot of family travel this time of year.
