New Year's Eve will become mostly cloudy with a chance of snow showers. Snow showers or even a snow squall is possible in the morning on New Year's Day, followed by bitter cold. Temperatures will fall back some after the daybreak frontal passage and stay in the 20s for most. #NJ #NJWX #WX #Weather

A couple of our new high-resolution computer model runs are showing a weak impulse could yield a couple snow showers overnight across the area. Given how cold it is, if snow reaches the ground, dustings or coatings would be possible. #NJ #NJWX #WX #Weather

Some light rain is starting to approach from the west, and everywhere north of the red line is at or below freezing currently. Some icy conditions could rapidly take shape late this afternoon and this evening, before temperatures rise above freezing later tonight. #NJ #NJWX #WX #Weather

Brief Mild Surge Mon. A.M.:

After a warm front lifts N Sunday p.m. (bringing the threat of ice in NW NJ), a brief surge of milder air will occur Monday morning, with highs peaking around mid-morning well into the 50s south.

12 hours later, guidance has us subfreezing. #NJ #NJWX #WX #Weather

Here is our icing forecast for later Sunday afternoon into Sunday night for Northwest NJ. A warm front will cause precipitation to develop, and in the northwestern portion of the state, surface temperatures could be stuck for a time at or below freezing. #NJ #NJWX #WX #Weather

The ocean-effect snowband is starting to diminish some, but it’s put down a fresh coating or more of snow for many. #NJ #NJWX #WX #Weather
December 27, 2025 at 7:27 PM
Another ocean-effect snow band has developed. Much like lake-effect snow, these can cause localized winter weather conditions and snow accumulations of a coating-inch over a narrow corridor where it trains. #NJ #NJWX #Weather #WX
December 27, 2025 at 5:22 PM
Our next weather maker will be a warm front that pushes through Sunday afternoon and evening.

Temperatures may be hovering around freezing in Northwestern NJ, and this could lead to a period of freezing rain. Guidance is in fairly good agreement with a swath of light icing.

9:45 p.m. Update-

Showery precipitation, mostly sleet and freezing rain, expected from here on out, along with freezing drizzle. Considerable dry slot in North Jersey should eventually fill in with some upstream showers of sleet, freezing rain and snow.

8:30 p.m. Update:

Sleet and freezing rain continuing over much of New Jersey with some snow in the far NE corner. Looks like for the rest of the night it will come in waves/pockets. Will continue to watch the icing amounts over the next few hours.

20,000+ JCP&L customers out, mostly in Ocean County. Likely a substation or high tension line issue to cause that extensive an outage, but cause is pending investigation. #NJ #NJWX #WX #Weather
