New Jersey Bracing for a Chilly Spell

A storm is on its way, bringing light snow and rain starting Wednesday night.

By Thursday, things get icy, especially in the northwest. Travel might get tricky because of slippery spots.

Wind: A Major Factor

• Expect gusts up to 35 mph
• Making it feel way colder than it actually is
• Temperatures will drop fast, with wind chills in the teens
• Even single digits in higher areas

The Coldest Part

• Hits Thursday night into Friday
• Wind chills could dip below zero in some spots
• Friday stays cold but starts to ease up as the day goes on

Weekend Weather

• Saturday: Mix of rain and snow, but not much will stick around
• Sunday: Could bring a bigger winter storm, but it might stay out at sea

Extended Cold Snap

• From Sunday to next Wednesday
• Highs won't even hit freezing
• Lows will be in the teens
• Wind chills could drop into single digits on multiple nights
• Worst on Monday and Tuesday nights

Stay Safe

This isn't just about the cold. It's about being ready.

• Bundle up
• Check on neighbors
• Be careful on the roads
• The wind and ice can make things dangerous
