Light Snow Possible Wednesday Night In New Jersey

This week brings a mix of weather conditions, with temperatures fluctuating and some chances for snow and rain to round out the days. Today will see partly sunny skies and a high near 43 degrees. Breezy conditions, with west winds reaching 10 to 20 mph and gusts as high as 35 mph, will make it feel cooler than the thermometer reads. Tonight, clouds will increase, and temperatures will dip to a low around 28. Winds will calm slightly, shifting to the south at 5 to 10 mph.

Wednesday will be milder, with a high near 47, but breezy conditions will return as west winds pick up to 15 to 25 mph, gusting up to 40 mph. A slight chance of rain and snow showers is possible after 1 p.m., though the likelihood is only 20%. By Wednesday night, temperatures will drop sharply to a low near 22. A few snow showers could linger before 10 p.m., but accumulation is unlikely given the minimal precipitation chances.

Thursday will bring clearer skies and cooler temperatures, with sunny conditions and a high near 38 degrees. Winds will ease to about 10 mph but could still gust up to 20 mph, keeping a brisk edge to the day. Thursday night clouds will return, and temperatures will hover near 29 degrees. There’s a 40% chance of rain developing after 1 a.m., though amounts should stay under a tenth of an inch.

Friday looks to be the wettest day of the week, with rain likely throughout much of the day. Temperatures will climb to a high near 49, and precipitation chances are high at 80%. Rain is expected to continue into Friday night, tapering off by around 1 a.m., with a low near 30. Chances for lingering showers Friday night remain at 70%.

Overall, this midweek period features temperatures slightly above average for late January, particularly on Wednesday and Friday. However, Thursday’s sunny but cooler conditions bring a return to more typical winter weather. The snow chances on Wednesday night are minimal and unlikely to cause disruptions, but they serve as a reminder that winter is still in full swing.
