Residents of New Jersey should prepare for a cold week, with sunny days, cool evenings, and a potential of wintry precipitation in the middle of the week, all accompanied by freezing temperatures. It will be sunny but windy today, with highs of 39 degrees Fahrenheit and a slight northwest wind. Under mainly clear skies, temperatures will drop precipitously tonight to a frigid low of 19 F. A light west breeze will make it much colder.
Tuesday is another sunny day with a high of 42 F, which is a little warmer than the typical high of the early December season, which is usually in the mid-40s to low-50s. As calm conditions continue, the bright sky will last into the evening, with another chilly low of 20 F.
Wednesday sees highs of about 42 degrees Fahrenheit, continuing the sunny trend throughout the day, but a change occurs in the evening. It is likely to rain, possibly with snow showers, and then rain exclusively later in the evening. Precipitation totals are projected to stay light at less than a tenth of an inch, and accumulations are expected to be minor with lows of about 35 F.
There may be some lingering showers on Thursday morning before the skies clear to reveal a generally sunny day with temperatures rising to 47 F, which is closer to the typical high for this time of year. Temperatures will drop to a chilly 24 degrees Fahrenheit on Thursday night, accompanied by breezy winds.
Friday is a clear and sunny day that ends the week, but it will be difficult for the temperature to rise over 37 degrees Fahrenheit, highlighting the region’s wintry hold. This week is notable for its below-normal high temperatures and extremely cold lows, especially at night, in contrast to the typical early December norms. Even if there aren’t any significant storms in the forecast, people who plan to go outside should exercise caution and wear extra layers due to the frigid temperatures, particularly in the early morning and evening.
