We look to begin our week with a light snowfall event. Otherwise, a mainly quiet week with milder temperatures is expected. A strong cold front looks to impact the region as we head towards the weekend.
Saturday: Some peaks of sun early will give way to overcast conditions as a cold front approaches the region. Snow showers are expected to break out late overnight in association with the cold front.

Snow accumulations of a coating to an inch are possible for the immediate shore points and the interior while parts of southern New Jersey could reach 1-2 inches. Temperatures will be in the mid-20s to low-30s for highs. Winds will be from the northwest at 5-10 mph. Overnight lows will fall into the mid-0s to low-10s for the interior while the coast ranges from the mid-10s to low-20s.
