Just a 30 percent chance — it's a coin flip. Tonight falls to 22 degrees. South Jersey gets the most action today. Rain kicks in by 11 A.M.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the New Jersey Weather Podcast — it's Tuesday, February 24th. If you scraped ice off your windshield this morning, you earned it. We picked up another inch and a half of snow overnight. And at 26 degrees, yesterday's slush froze into a skating rink. Black ice is coating the roads through mid-morning, so take it slow out there. Up north, you're waking up to wind chills that feel like 18 degrees and patchy blowing snow. The sun returns by late morning, but highs barely crack 31 before dropping fast this afternoon. Central Jersey gets mostly sunny skies and highs near freezing, though winds are still whipping at 10 to 15 miles an hour. Down south, you're the winners today — 35 degrees under mostly sunny skies. And those gusty winds finally ease up. But tonight? Plot twist. A fast-moving clipper slides in from the west. And by 1 A.M., snow returns. North Jersey sees up to an inch, with temperatures *rising* overnight — yes, rising — from 22 degrees at 9 P.M. To 31 by sunrise. Central Jersey has a 70 percent shot of seeing flakes between 18 degrees and 6 A.M. South Jersey sits on the rain-snow line, expecting a mix after 3 A.M., with temps jumping from 22 at 7 A.M.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the New Jersey Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd. If you're just waking up.. Well, you picked a heck of a day to open your eyes. Five and a half inches of snow fell overnight. Another three in the last six hours. And it's still dumping — two to three inches per hour in the heaviest bands. This is the nor'easter we've been tracking. And it's delivering. Up north, the snow hammers through 6 P.M. Today. Another 10 to 14 inches pile on. You'll hit 34 degrees around 1 P.M., then watch it crash to 23 by 6 A.M. Tuesday. Wind chills drop to 19 degrees — the kind that bites through your jacket. Winds gust to 45 miles an hour.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the New Jersey Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, I'm not one for hyperbole, but this is the real deal. We're about to get slammed by a blizzard that meteorologists will be talking about for years. Right now, you're at 35 degrees. By tonight, you'll be buried under two feet of snow with winds strong enough to knock down power lines. Here's how this unfolds. Light rain starts mid-morning, changing to all snow by 2 P.M. Statewide. Then the storm goes nuclear. Between 6 P.M. Tonight and 6 A.M. Monday, you're looking at snowfall rates of one to three inches per hour — that's faster than plows can keep up. Winds gust to 45 to 60 miles an hour. That's hurricane force. Visibility drops to zero in whiteout conditions. Down along the coast, you've got a second problem. High tide tonight around 9 P.M. Brings one to two feet of coastal flooding. Water will be in the streets, possibly in homes. If you live near the shore, move your car to higher ground now. North Jersey, you're looking at 14 to 20 inches tonight, with another 9 to 13 inches Monday. Central Jersey, 15 to 21 inches tonight, plus 9 to 13 Monday. South Jersey, 13 to 19 inches tonight, 19 degrees to 14 Monday. Wind chills drop to the teens. The week ahead? Tuesday brings bitter cold and sunshine. Wednesday through Friday, we start the slow melt with highs in the low 40s and a rain-snow mix. Saturday finally gives us a break — sunny and 45 degrees. Don't travel unless it's an emergency. This is the kind of storm where you hunker down and wait it out. Alright. If this heads-up helped you prep, share it with someone who needs to hear it. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the New Jersey Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 24th. Folks, here's the deal. Winter took the day off. Step outside and you'll feel 47 degrees in North Jersey. Central Jersey edges up to 48. South Jersey sits at 46. That's February being suspiciously polite. Light westerly breezes drift through the north at 7 to 10 miles an hour. Barely enough to mess up your hair. Central Jersey's even calmer, around 5 miles an hour. But down south, you're picking up a subtle northerly shift. That's tomorrow's cooler air sending a little calling card. Here's what makes today special. No rain. No snow. No drama. Just a calm Saturday where you can actually walk outside without checking the radar every ten minutes. Perfect weather for finally tackling that project you've been putting off since October. Sunset hits at 5:19 PM, so soak up the light while you can. Temperatures hold in the mid 40s tonight. Easy sleeping weather. Sunday brings a slight cooldown. Highs drop to the low 40s up north, mid 40s central, and upper 30s down south. That northerly wind picks up too, gusting to 15 miles an hour. You'll feel it. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday and Tuesday stay cool, but then something nice happens. By Wednesday, we're climbing back into the 50s with sunshine leading the way. That's the kind of midweek reward that makes February bearable. Air quality today sits moderate, so sensitive groups might want to keep the jog short. And the silver lining?

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the New Jersey Weather Podcast. It's Friday, February 23rd. Folks, here's the deal. Step outside this morning and you'll feel that crisp 36 degrees. Not brutal. Not balmy. Just sharp enough to remind you it's still February. Your coffee steam is going to look dramatic, though. Lean into it. North Jersey wakes up at 36 degrees with a gentle northwest breeze around 6 miles an hour. Brisk, but manageable. Head down the Turnpike into Central Jersey and you're a tick cooler at 35 degrees. Winds gust to 10 miles an hour there, just enough to knock over that recycling bin you forgot to bring in. South Jersey matches the north at 36 degrees, but the wind shifts westerly. That little pivot? It's a whisper of what's brewing for Sunday. Tonight, temperatures slide into the mid 20s statewide under crystal clear skies. A waxing crescent moon lights up about a fifth of the sky. Gorgeous night for a walk if you bundle up. Here's what's coming your way this week. Saturday stays dry and calm. Highs in the upper 30s. Classic late February stuff. Sunday gets interesting. A weak system brushes the coast, bringing a slight chance of light snow or rain showers to South Jersey. Nothing to cancel plans over, but you'll want to keep an eye on it. Monday through Wednesday? The pattern stays quiet with a slow warming trend pushing us toward the low 40s by midweek. Spring is sending postcards. Air quality today is moderate, so sensitive groups might want to ease up on the outdoor cardio. Sunrise hits at 6:33 AM, sunset at 5:18 PM.
