Weather

Our next substantial chance of rain is more than a week away.

For several days, we've been watching what our neighbors in Texas have been going through following a large winter storm. With that in mind, how prepared are you for an emergency like that?

It is not a blockbuster, historic, bread-and-milk kind of storm. But New Jersey is facing serious wintry conditions throughout the daytime hours Thursday.

The track of another coastal storm — a nor'easter — has drifted closer to the coast, which would lead to snowy weather for New Jersey this weekend.

While just about every part of the state saw big (near recording-breaking) snowfall totals with this latest nor'easter, if you live here at the shore, you didn't even need to take your snow shovel out of the garage.

The powerful coastal storm is parked mere miles east of New Jersey, with additional bands of wintry precipitation and light accumulations all day Tuesday.

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

Freezing rain is a possibility in NW NJ Friday evening, followed by the chance for shovelable snow in northern New Jersey on Sunday.

Opposite corners of New Jersey will see 16+ inches of snow and 2 inches of rain, alongside howling winds and serious tidal flooding.

Let's rundown the latest snow, ice, rain, wind, and coastal flooding forecast, as a powerful coastal storm system heads for New Jersey.
