Potential Weekend Storm Could Deliver Mixed Precipitation to New Jersey

A potential weekend storm is being watched closely for New Jersey, and right now the biggest headline is uncertainty + mixed precipitation risk. Here’s the latest simple breakdown.

⏱️ Timing (current thinking)

Storm could affect the region late Sunday into Monday (Presidents Day).

Confidence is still low because it’s several days away and track is uncertain.

Meteorologists say there are two possible storm tracks:
- A farther north track → bigger impacts
- A farther south/offshore track → lighter snow or minimal impacts

The National Weather Service says they are watching a potential storm late in the weekend into early next week, but right now odds favor it staying mostly south, and with marginal temps, even if it comes north the odds of snow are not great. Thereafter, warmer weather arrives.

According to the meteorological service, there is a 30% chance of rain or snow in northern counties and a 70% chance in southern New Jersey.

The likelihood that any precipitation will fall as snow is higher in areas further north.

According to current estimates, there is still little chance of a strong storm system, the meteorological agency said.

By Tuesday and Wednesday, temperatures will rise considerably, with highs in most places predicted to be well into the 40s and maybe as high as the 50s in some places close to the Jersey Shore. Stay up-to-date with the local forecast.
