Weather

Welcome back to winter, New Jersey. Thursday afternoon will be upwards of 50 degrees colder than Wednesday afternoon, with a brisk wind and possible snow.

The lion of March will be roaring loudly over the next 48 hours with volatile weather on the way as warm turns to cold, and calm turns to stormy.

Tuesday will be great, but Thursday's cold front is going to hurt.

Temperatures are running 20 degrees above seasonal normals, and more than 50 degrees warmer than they were about a month ago here in New Jersey.

Total rainfall from Thursday to Thursday night will range from a quarter-inch in South Jersey to over an inch in North Jersey.

New Jersey's payoff for this week of unsettled, cloudy, occasionally wet weather will be a welcome warmup into the 50s and 60s this weekend.

The forecast for the next few days is looking damp and dreary for New Jersey, but temperatures will be slowly on the rise this week.

Once New Jersey clears out of this cool marine air mass and kicks out clouds and rain, temperatures will shoot up into the 60s and even 70s by next weekend.

It is so poetic that February, a month of wintry weather and frigid temperatures, ends on a pleasant note across New Jersey.

February has been such an extreme month of wintry weather across New Jersey, it seems almost poetic that it will end with sunny skies and warming temperatures.
