Dan Zarrow's Forecast

New Jersey's weather turns wet and miserably cold through midweek, but will things improve in time for the big holiday weekend?

Our next storm system will not only drop a solid one to two inches of rain across New Jersey, it will bring a March-like chill to the air too.

Monday will be a continuation of this weekend's warm, dry weather, but Tuesday looks like the wettest day of the week.

Every day this week has a rain chance plugged into the forecast, but most of New Jersey's soggy weather will be spotty to scattered.

We really do need the rain, with 40 percent of NJ still in drought, but why must inclement weather dampen all our spring weekends.

For the fourth time in five weeks, rain looks to threaten part of New Jersey's weekend.

The second half of the week will turn more unsettled, but there are far more dry hours than wet ones in New Jersey's forecast.

Our next batch of rain will cleanse New Jersey's atmosphere of pollen and smoke particulates, and tamp down fire danger and drought concerns.

After stray showers clear the coast Tuesday morning, New Jersey's next rain chance holds off until the end of the week.

Monday actually looks like New Jersey's coolest day of the week.
