Winter Weather Advisory
Friday Dec 27th
A slight shift in the forecast this morning has brought us into the Winter Weather Advisory zone for freezing rain overnight.
Today, clear, cold now but warming up into the 30⁰s by this afternoon.
Overnight, light rain develops around midnight or after. Since it will be another cold night, there is a slight chance that the rain will freeze at the outset, becoming regular rain by sunrise. Showers continue Saturday morning.
The chance of freezing rain overnight Friday into Saturday is slight in SOMA, with the highest probability up in Newstead and West Orange. Higher chance west in Morris and Passaic. Rain Saturday morning will quickly clear any ice, but if you have to be out early, especially before dawn, be careful.
Rest of the forecast status quo, with rain Sunday and some showers Monday. Highs both days in the 50⁰s
Thurs Dec 26th
A couple of tranquil days to see out the week, cold at night with highs in the 30⁰s and lows tonight in the low 20⁰s, and Friday night in the upper 20⁰s
Unsteady weather returns over the weekend. Chance of light showers Saturday but the best chance of rain right now is overnight Sunday into Monday. Still, total rain for the period of ½ inch to a bit over an inch should not present any more serious issues.
