Dan Zarrow's Forecast

It's almost a 'deja vu' forecast to close out this weekend, as a powerful coastal storm aims to soak New Jersey once again.

A strong cold front will produce some stormy, nasty weather in New Jersey, starting midday Sunday, peaking Sunday evening, ending Monday morning.

Thermometers across New Jersey will ride a little roller coaster this week, with a trio of days in the 40s followed by three days back in the 50s.

As thermometers push into the 50s, New Jersey's forecast for both Friday and Sunday contains rain, but nothing heavy, severe, or wintry.

As rain exits and wind calms, there are no significant weather-related travel concerns for New Jersey this weekend, with mainly dry weather in the forecast.

Approaching one of the busiest travel weeks of the year, some heavy rain and big temperature swings are in the forecast for New Jersey.

With high pressure in control, New Jersey's weather stays quiet but unseasonably cold for the first half of the new week.

This stretch of unseasonable warmth feels more like early September than late October.

Even though this will be New Jersey's 7th weekend in a row with measurable rainfall, it will not be a total washout.

Snow and ice! Doom and gloom! There are clues about what's ahead this winter, but too many forecasters (and fakers) stretch the science of meteorology too far.

Wind, coastal flooding, and severe weather concerns are minor, but torrential downpours could lead to serious flooding issues for parts of New Jersey.

As the remnants of Ophelia slowly pass through New Jersey, inclement weather and the threat of coastal flooding will extend into the start of the workweek.
