Dan Zarrow's Forecast

There will be a noticeable change in the air across New Jersey Friday and this weekend, but there are no washout or terrible weather days in the forecast.

Very high fire danger continues across New Jersey Monday, due to a combination of low humidity, dry brush, and strong winds.

A sea breeze will keep the Shore cooler Thursday, it won't be as bright and sunny, and a big cooldown will arrive in just 36 to 48 hours.

Our next substantial chance of rain is more than a week away.

One or two bands of snow and wintry mix will cause another somewhat wintry day across New Jersey, as our wintry storm doesn't exit until Friday evening.

It is not a blockbuster, historic, bread-and-milk kind of storm. But New Jersey is facing serious wintry conditions throughout the daytime hours Thursday.

Bottom line: No matter where in New Jersey you are, Thursday is going to turn into a wintry, messy day.

New Jersey's second storm system of the week, the grand finale of this stretch of hyperactive weather, looks even more wintry and more impactful.
