Skies are cloudy at daybreak and temperatures are not nearly as cold with readings in the low 30s in the Clifton area to the 20s further inland.

Light snow will develop around noon as an Arctic front crosses our area temperatures will hold steady during the day, little or no accumulation is expected before sunset.  Tonight snow will become steady and continue through Monday morning and it will become much colder. Predicting snowfall amounts is tough with this system, at the present time I will say 3-5 inches will fall in the Clifton area, ranging from 2-4″ across extreme Northern New Jersey to 10-14 inches across Southern New Jersey.

Tuesday through Thursday will have mainly dry conditions with temperatures well below normal.

Another system will be moving off the coast Thursday night into Friday that could give us a chance of rain or snow.

Dry weather with milder temperatures likely on Saturday.

Today a southerly flow will develop around a departing high pressure offshore and temperatures should rise into the upper 30s, skies will start out mostly sunny but clouds will increase as the day goes on.

A winter storm watch is in effect for snow that will begin Sunday afternoon and last into at least Monday morning.  The latest computer models now has the heaviest snowfall amounts just to our south across Central and Southern New Jersey where up to 10 inches can be expected, less snow as you travel north with up to 8 inches in the Clifton area and 4 inches across the extreme northern areas of Northern New Jersey.  These amounts are far from being etched in stone and will probably change.
