New Jersey Weather: Two Snow Threats and Arctic Chill Ahead

New Jersey Weather: Two Snow Threats and Arctic Chill Ahead

Through the rest of the week, New Jersey will continue to experience cold weather, with below-normal temperatures predicted to last and the possibility of light snowfall Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning.

The National Weather Service reports that dangerously cold weather are predicted to return by the weekend, despite the fact that temperatures in several areas of the state reached the mid-30s on Monday afternoon.

Many New Jersey counties may experience moderate snowfall overnight on Tuesday and early on Wednesday due to a weak storm system from the Midwest.

According to the weather service, locations north of Interstate 78 may only experience flurries with no substantial accumulation anticipated, while the majority of areas south of the interstate might see a dusting to one inch of snow.

Minimal effects are anticipated, and the snow should finish by Wednesday morning.

In southern New Jersey, Tuesday's high temperatures will be in the mid- to upper-30s, while in northern New Jersey, they will be in the upper-20s to low-30s.

It's still colder than usual for early February, even though it might seem warm in comparison to the deep freeze the state endured for nine days in a row.

Highs will often be below freezing, in the low 20s to low 30s, from Wednesday through Friday.

There may be another opportunity for light snow or snow squalls in New Jersey on Friday night as another Arctic front is predicted to move in.

The National Weather Service says the snow may originate from a powerful clipper system heading north of the Garden State, but it is too early to predict precise snowfall totals from Friday's system.

Throughout the week, overnight lows will fall into the single digits and teens; by the following weekend, lows may even plummet to five degrees below zero.

The National Weather Service says another round of cold weather advisories may be necessary by the end of the week, and wind chills will return to dangerously low levels during the weekend.

Next weekend's highs are predicted to remain in the teens and 20s, well below the typical range of 40 to 44 degrees. Check the latest weather forecast.
