Weather

Grab the umbrella, as New Jersey finds itself under the influence of our one and only storm system of the week Tuesday.

It's not a big, bad, brutal blast of arctic air — but a rare taste of cold air, making it finally feel like February for a couple of days.

The week ahead also includes one minor chance of wintry weather, followed by a big cooldown.

Lots to talk about in this weather forecast, including drenching rain, the risk for some icy mix, a warmup, and a cooldown.

Monday will easily be the nicest day of the week for New Jersey, before things become more complicated as wet, cooler, and potentially wintry weather moves in.

New Jersey is still waiting for any kind of a significant snow event as we head into the homestretch of the winter season.

We're starting to zero in on the weekend forecast, which is a "middle of the road" scenario - not a "direct hit" massive snowstorm, but not "nothing" either.

Temperatures will gradually cool, and we are watching a potential storm system for next weekend.

The warmup across New Jersey has been incremental, if not imperceptible, over the last few days. But that will accelerate as slowly increasing cloud cover portends a wet weekend.

Wednesday is the fourth of what will eventually be six consecutive sunny, chilly days in the Garden State, as temperatures continue to warm — but not too much.
