Dan Zarrow's Forecast

Let's talk about the return of blustery cold weather, and the potential for snow, icy mix, and/or rain across New Jersey early next week.

A cold, calm morning. A cool, breezy day. And we're watching another blast of arctic wind set to arrive for the weekend.

This resurgence of cold air and wintry weather will be temporarily for New Jersey. We won't be so lucky next time around.

Our impending snowflakes and cooldown will be fairly unremarkable and brief, but there is another burst of even colder air on the horizon.

Even though temperatures will take a ride this week, precipitation chances will be minimal.

It will be a rainmaker, although that rain could be heavy at times, with possible lightning and thunder and marginally gusty winds.

Thermometers will continue to run about 10 degrees above seasonal norms, as we track a wet storm system for the start of the weekend.

It'll be our first storm system in almost two weeks; but don't expect much, as late Friday's precipitation is looking light and showery.

This quiet weather won't necessarily end with a "bang," but there is a storm system and chance of rain/snow aiming for New Jersey at the end of the week.

Quiet, dry, seasonable weather will continue for a few more days, although we do have some subtle changes coming by the end of the week.
