A mixed week with weather, but mostly cautious to hazardous water conditions. Sunday Night into Monday will bring a system that brings rain to snow across the state. A mix of wintry precipitation with changeovers to rain are possible for most of the state. Areas in Northern and Northwestern NJ will have the most accumulation of snow, but may see a mix at times. Freezing rain and icing is likely as well, so use caution on surfaces and roadways. The bulk of the storm will come on Monday Morning and Afternoon, but the system will start into Sunday Night and could linger into Monday Night. For Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday conditions will be mostly dry and clearer, however there is still a chance of scattered snow showers/mixed wintry precipitation. Friday looks to be clear and dry. Highs will be mostly in the 30’s, however highs will drop into the 20’s and 30’s on Friday. Overnight lows will be in the 20’s and 30’s until Thursday Night when temperatures will drop into the single digits and teens and then into the negatives, single digits and lower teens on Friday Night as Arctic air moves in with the front. Water conditions will be mostly cautious to hazardous this week. Wednesday conditions could improve, however seas will still be 5+ feet. Thursday looks to see the best conditions, however winds will still push 15-20 knots. Friday will see Gale Warnings and high seas. Surf and beach conditions will be ok to cautious, even hazardous at times. Wednesday and Thursday will be the least windy, however high and rough surf will continue. Surf heights to 8+ feet are possible. Water temperatures are a few degrees colder in the 30’s and 40’s. UV Index will be Low to Moderate at 0-3/15.
A cold front will slowly drop southward through the area on Sunday Night through late Monday. An area of low pressure will track along the front, moving toward the Mid Atlantic Coast Monday and moving off to the south and east of the area on Tuesday. Another low pressure system will arrive on Thursday followed by an Arctic front. Arctic high pressure will then build into the area for Friday and Saturday. A clipper type system will move through the region late Saturday into Sunday, followed by cold high pressure for early in the week.
The weekend will be a mix, with the potential of snow Saturday Night and Sunday, that needs to be watched. Highs will continue in the 20’s and 30’s with lows in the teens to 20’s and even some 30’s along the coast. The potential clipper system looks to be fast moving, but it is too early to call anything at this point. Water, surf and beach conditions look good to ok for Saturday and then cautious on Sunday.
Have a great week and thanks for reading!
