Dan Zarrow's Forecast

There's a wide variety of conditions in this week's weather forecast, as New Jersey slowly transitions back to colder weather by the weekend.

Following some wet weather, New Jersey will transition back to colder wintertime temperatures.

We're tracking a period of unsettled, occasionally wet weather that will start a slow transition to much colder weather by the end of the week.

Grab the umbrella, as New Jersey finds itself under the influence of our one and only storm system of the week Tuesday.

Nothing overly dramatic in New Jersey's weather forecast, but we will go from jacket weather to needing an umbrella to grabbing the winter coat this week.

It's not a big, bad, brutal blast of arctic air — but a rare taste of cold air, making it finally feel like February for a couple of days.

From wet to dry, and from mild to cold.

New Jersey's forecast looks dry and calm during the day Wednesday, wet Wednesday night, rainy and windy Thursday, and then downright cold on Friday.

There are one or two batches of rain on the way, in addition to a bit of light snow. New Jersey's biggest weather story is a big cooldown at week's end.

The week ahead also includes one minor chance of wintry weather, followed by a big cooldown.

This active weather week ends with one more batch of rain, a High Wind Warning, and the arrival of colder air.

Weather in a word: Wet. Pockets of steady to heavy rain will impact New Jersey pretty much all day Thursday, through Thursday night and much of Friday too.
