Our next storm system is approaching. A powerful cold front, will arrive early Friday morning. A period of constant rain will drench us. At this point, it appears that the "peak period" for that rain will be Friday morning between 4 a.m. and Noon. Showers may last into the afternoon as well.

It's possible that the rain will be heavy at times. Rainfall totals will most likely range from a half-inch to an inch, with the largest totals expected in North Jersey. It's conceivable that thunder will rumble.

The risk of severe weather, winter weather, and/or flooding, on the other hand, is extremely low. A brisk northwesterly wind will increase to around 30 mph by Friday afternoon, bringing in cooler air. Say your goodbyes to the 60s and 70s, as it will finally feel like November.
