We have to start talking about
those terms we really don't want to hear.
Starting with Nor'easter.
That's right, Della.
Yeah, Nor'easter, snow, yeah, I said the word.
Yeah, we're all talking about at least
the potential of it for some portions of the state.
But really for the rest of the day today, soak it in.
It's Veterans Day.
Perhaps you do have the day off.
So pretty lucky to have weather like this.
And if there are any events occurring,
weather is going to give you two thumbs up.
So that's great.
We're looking at good stuff here.
But we get into tomorrow and Friday.
Not good stuff. We got rain coming down from the sky
and it's a cold rain too. It's going to be chilly.
It's going to be breezy and it continues into Friday too.
So you do notice on futurecast here a lot of this green moving
on in as we get into portions of Thursday and then we're going
to be looking at a chance. There you go. Some colder air moving in.
And maybe some flakes getting close
to northwestern portions of New Jersey Friday morning.
Again, not a guarantee, but a possibility.
So don't be surprised of that.
It would be the first flakes of the season.
So tomorrow morning's commute,
not as bright and dry as this morning, but not terrible either.
I think it's the Thursday afternoon
and then the Friday morning and afternoon commute.
That's going to be a little more tough with puddles,
lower visibilities, a steady rainfall.
And again, maybe a few snowflakes as you get
into Sussex County with some elevation as well.
So just even with just plain rain, use caution out there
with those deep puddles that may be out there an inch or so,
maybe two inches of rain as possible locally here,
especially in central and northern New Jersey.
That will be a healthy amount, but will be prolonged over two days.
So I'm not expecting any major issues with flooding on top
of that kind of raw wind to add to that chilly feel.
So windswept rain at times as the winds gust upwards
of 25 miles per hour. Coldest air of the season so far.
Friday, Saturday with highs in the 40s,
but it is dry for most of the weekend.
That's good news.
Overnight lows close to the freezing mark.
