Dan Zarrow's Forecast

February begins with snow showers and seasonably chilly temperatures, but New Jersey's next (short-lived) arctic blast is looming at the end of the week.

This is the first of two temperature tumbles this week — the second arctic blast will lead to potentially dangerous cold to start the first weekend of February.

After above-normal temperatures throughout January, temperatures across New Jersey will plummet as February begins.

As the final weekend of January approaches, New Jersey's weather settles down and dries out.

Moderate snow accumulations are possible for northwestern New Jersey only, as most of the state gets soaked and windswept by this powerful storm system.

While Tuesday will be quiet, Wednesday could be messy across New Jersey as a powerful storm system delivers a variety of weather impacts.

The last in a series of active weather, Wednesday's storm system is New Jersey's best chance of accumulating snow in almost a year.

Friday and Saturday will be fairly pleasant across New Jersey, but our next storm system arrives late Sunday, leading to a chance of rain ... and possibly snow.

An area of low pressure will track over New Jersey, producing an extended period of rain, but without the risk of flooding, severe weather, or wintry weather.

While Wednesday will be mild, quiet, and fairly pleasant across New Jersey, Thursday will turn wet and gloomy.
