TOMS RIVER, NJ – Winter is on its way as New Jersey is looking at its first possible snowfall of the 2021 winter season. On Wednesday, the National Weather Service is predicting a chance of snow in the afternoon before temperatures dip into the mid-twenties later in the night.
“A chance of snow before 2pm, then a chance of rain and snow. Cloudy, with a high near 38. Calm wind becoming north around 5 mph in the afternoon. The chance of precipitation is 50%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible,” the NWS is predicting today. “A slight chance of snow before 1am. Partly cloudy, with a low around 24. Chance of precipitation is 20%.”
While much of the mainland United States has seen little or now snowfall, this weekend, a major snowstorm ripped through the Big Island Summits in Hawaii with up to 10 inches of snow and winds of up to 80 miles per hour.
Back in New Jersey, temperatures will become more smiled by the weekend with highs in the 50s and 60s expected.
