☀️ It’ll feel chilly in the 40s this weekend, but the sun will finally start to feel warmer in 2-3 weeks. SUNDAY OVERNIGHT: A storm passes south with some rain (and maybe a brief mix) for the southern half of NJ, clearing by sunrise. Impacts are very minor. @News12NJ #NJwx

The week finishes fine! ☁️ TODAY: Mostly cloudy, upper 30s. ☀️ TOMORROW: Sunny but chilly, near 40. 🌤️ WEEKEND: Mostly sunny! Few showers possible SUN PM into MON AM, but not a big deal as the storm skirts just south of NJ 🌡️ NEXT WEEK: Are you ready for the 50s? @News12NJ #NJwx

🧊Watch for icy spots tonight 9PM-2AM as freezing rain/drizzle moves through. Temps hover near 32, making roads slick. 👀A coastal storm possibly brings rain on SUN PM/MON AM. 🌡️Oh, and we hit 50 degrees by Tuesday! @News12NJ #NJwx

That weekend cold is DONE (for now). 🌡️Temps trend back toward normal for the rest of February. We're talkin' 40s. ⚠️TUE PM: Watch for a pocket of rain/freezing rain 9PM - WED 2AM. It could get slick overnight, especially north of I-78. @News12NJ #NJwx

🌬️Arctic air this weekend is dangerous if you are not dressed for it. I cannot emphasize this enough. The feel like temperatures will be coldest since 2019. It is ✨essential✨ to cover all exposed skin this weekend. @News12NJ #NJwx

❄️A dusting of snow (1–2") arrives FRI PM, but I'm more concerned with the dangerous cold & wind. 🌬️Gusts of 30–50 mph could cause power outages. 🥶Wind chills plunge to -10°F or lower SAT & SUN. @News12NJ #NJwx

🙃Just when we thought it was getting better... ❄️ FRI OVERNIGHT: Snow showers return (Up to 1" by SAT AM). 🌬️ SAT: Arctic blast! 30mph gusts & wind chills below 0. It’s "Oh nah💀" cold this weekend. 👀 However, 40s are back in sight for next week! @News12NJ #NJwx

❄️Mid-afternoon highs hit the mid-30s! A stray flurry is possible, but dry air means only a sugar coating at best. A quick clipper FRI PM brings light snow, though nothing major. 🥶 The weekend turns bitter as arctic air returns.....ughhh @News12NJ #NJwx

Another view of this impressive event which is not yet over - we are still above the M5 threshold over one hour in with multiple peaks over X-class. The largest flare was an X8.1 - one of the strongest flare intensities in 20 years and the third strongest of this solar cycle.

Phew, the nor’easter is still tracking to stay offshore! ❄️ Most of NJ will miss the snow, with only a light coating possible south of Exit 98 (coastal) SAT overnight into SUN AM. 🌬️Expect wind gusts near 30mph and cold temps, but travel looks good! @News12NJ #NJwx

😬TOUGH CALL: A Nor’easter hugs the coast SAT PM into SUN. Heaviest snow stays just offshore, but coastal counties could see accumulation. 💨🌊Bigger concerns: 50mph gusts, power outages & coastal flood/erosion. ↖️N&W NJ trending/likely to stay dry. @News12NJ #NJwx

2⃣ scenarios for this weekend's nor'easter: a "glancing blow" or a "big hit." ❄️Coastal NJ has increased chances for 5"+ of snow as either scenario would impact this area. 🤔Impacts are emerging related to from gusts in excess of 25mph and coastal flooding. @News12NJ #NJwx

The way the wind moves the #snow down the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD reminds me of the regeneration/reformation of the T-1000 in Terminator 2. Although it's snowflakes and not "mimetic polyalloy" Would @robertpatrickT2 agree?

This cold is disrespectful! 🧊 The snow is freezing solid, so go dig out your car NOW before it’s impossible. 👀 Still tracking a potential weekend nor'easter. Will it hit NJ? Too early to tell, but it feels like a "hit or miss" situation. Updates tomorrow! @News12NJ #NJwx

❄️ THE PRETTY STUFF ❄️ Sunday’s snow could feature "stellar plates" and "dendrites"! 📸 If you have macro-mode on your phone, you can capture these beautiful crystals right from your window sill. 🏠 #Winter #Photography #Snow @News12NJ #NJwx

SUN 2AM-MON 4AM ⬆️Heavy but fluffy snow for North NJ, sticks FAST! ⬇️Same for Central/South NJ until it mixes with a dangerous icy glaze after 1PM. 🥶Bitter cold (<20°F) means salt won't work well—roads will be slick/covered! 👀Watching for a north shift in mixing @News12NJ #NJwx

😮‍💨Enjoy the mild weather now! 🥶Frigid air arrives before a winter storm brings heavy snow late SAT PM into SUN. ⬆️❓A mid-storm shift to ice may impact totals for Central/Coastal NJ. This is still track dependent... ✈️Expect flight travel delays starting FRI. @News12NJ #NJwx
