New Jersey is bracing for a fluctuating weather pattern this weekend, featuring isolated snow showers and gusty winds. As rain persists through Saturday night, the National Weather Service has issued updates regarding weather developments expected on Sunday.
Weather Forecast: Isolated Snow Showers and Windy Conditions
The weather system affecting New Jersey will continue to bring rain until early Sunday morning. Rainfall totals are expected to reach:
- 1 to 1.5 inches in southern New Jersey
- About 1 inch in most other areas
- 0.5 to 0.75 inches in the northwest regions
Following the rain, a cold front will sweep through the area, bringing both cloudy conditions and cooler temperatures. By Sunday morning, temperatures will range from the upper 30s to low 40s as cold air takes over.
Wind and Snow Shower Expectations
Winds on Sunday will be moderate in the afternoon, starting at 15 to 20 mph and ramping up to 25 to 35 mph by sunset. As the day progresses, isolated snow showers may develop between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m., although significant snow accumulation is not expected.
Outlook for Next Week
Looking ahead, Monday will offer clearer skies with temperatures remaining in the upper 30s to low 40s. Winds will gradually lessen. A more significant warming trend is anticipated on Tuesday, with temperatures rising above normal and a slight chance of rain showers.
Forecasters are also monitoring the possibility of a coastal storm set to impact New Jersey late next week. This storm might bring snowfall, although the exact track and timing remain uncertain. Some models suggest a major winter system, while others indicate it might stay offshore.
As colder air moves into the region late next week, residents should prepare for a mix of weather conditions, including the potential for additional snow.
