N.J. Braces for Snow, Ice, Heavy Rain & 60 mph Winds in Wild Weekend Storm
Alright, folks, buckle up because this weekend’s weather in New Jersey is going to be a wild ride! We’re talking about snow, sleet, ice, heavy rain, and some serious wind gusts—up to 60 mph. If you have any outdoor plans, you might want to reconsider.
Here’s what’s coming: Starting Saturday afternoon, northern parts of New Jersey can expect around 2 to 4 inches of snow, with some areas getting up to 5 inches. The snowfall is set to begin around 1 p.m. and will spread from west to east. But don’t get too comfortable because this snow isn’t sticking around for long. By late Saturday night, it’ll start transitioning into a wintry mix—think ice pellets, sleet, and even freezing rain. This could make roads and sidewalks extremely slippery, so if you need to be out, take extra precautions.

The National Weather Service has already issued winter weather advisories for several counties, including Hunterdon, Somerset, Morris, Sussex, Warren, and Passaic. Depending on your location, you could see anywhere from 1 to 5 inches of snow, along with a dangerous layer of ice.
Now, here’s where things get even crazier. Sunday brings a major warm-up, with temperatures soaring into the 50s. That’s right—after all that snow and ice, we’re in for up to 2 inches of heavy rain. And as if that wasn’t enough, a powerful cold front moves in late Sunday night, sending temperatures plunging once again. Expect brutal wind gusts between 45 and 60 mph, which could lead to power outages and even some tree damage.
Wind chills will be bitterly cold by Sunday night, dropping into the single digits. And just when you think we’re in the clear, forecasters are already tracking another potential snowstorm for midweek. Some early models suggest at least 4 inches of snow statewide, with some areas possibly seeing a foot or more.
So, here’s the takeaway: Saturday starts with snow, turns into ice and rain by the evening, and then Sunday brings a dramatic warm-up followed by a bitter cold front and powerful winds. If you have errands to run, get them done early Saturday before conditions deteriorate.
Stay safe, stay warm, and keep an eye on the forecast—this weekend is going to be a weather rollercoaster!
