Skies are cloudy early this morning and temperatures are not as frigid as the last few mornings with readings in the low to mid 20s, however single digits are being reported across some spots in Sussex County were the skies are still mostly clear.

A storm system will be passing to our south today giving rain as close as Southern New Jersey but it will stay dry in our area, temperatures will rise to near 40 degrees which is still below normal for this time of year.

Milder on Saturday despite considerable cloudiness as we may reach the 50 degree mark.

A little cooler on Sunday but remaining dry.

Mild and continued dry early next week.

The next good chance of any precipitation is with a storm system that will be moving through the southern states and then up the coast.  Still not sure of the track but most of the model guidance show colder air moving down from the north so if that is the case then we will have to deal with  some snow.  Once again the removal of the winter shower curtain will be put to another test.
