NJ Weather: Chance Of Snow In NJ, Showing Winter's Not Done Yet

NEW JERSEY — Hope you enjoyed the mild temperatures on Friday because winter is not quite done with us yet.

Temperatures in New Jersey went from the mid-60s Friday to as low as the 30s over this weekend before a chance of snow emerges early next week.

According to forecasters with The Weather Channel and The National Weather Service, snow is possible overnight Monday into Tuesday, when low temperatures drop to the 20s.

If the snow does materialize, it won't be a big event. The Weather Channel and the National Weather Service said there's a 40 percent chance of snow, and accumulations will be less than 1 inch.

A wind advisory was issued in North Jersey on Friday night, saying gusts of 40 to 50 mph were possible in Sussex, Warren and Morris counties.

AccuWeather, meanwhile, says much of the stormy weather during the next week could be rain.

AccuWeather meteorologists did say the late winter's chill is set to return in time for the weekend, saying a dose of cold air is forecast to sweep in Sunday night and set the stage for a brisk and cold Monday in the region.

The cooler air sticking around into early next week will leave open the possibility for snow in some locations across the Northeast next week, according to AccuWeather. Accumulating snow, at this time, is most likely to fall in the higher elevations of New England, but it's possible the storm may draw in enough warm air from the Southeast to prevent snow from falling in most areas.

Here's the forecast:

• Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 49. Northwest wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
• Saturday night: Mostly clear, with a low around 33. West wind 5 to 10 mph.
• Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 54. Breezy, with a west wind 5 to 10 mph increasing to 15 to 20 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph.
• Sunday night: Mostly clear, with a low around 25.
• Monday: Sunny, with a high near 43.
• Monday night: A chance of snow after 2 a.m. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 29. Chance of precipitation is 30 percent.
• Tuesday: A chance of snow before 10 a.m., then a chance of rain and snow between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., then a chance of rain after 11 a.m. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 42. Chance of precipitation is 40 percent.
