A weak low pressure system will likely give southern New Jersey a couple of inches of snow on Monday but only a slight chance of flurries in our area.

A slightly stronger low pressure system will give us a better chance of light snow or rain on Tuesday with some areas getting an inch or two of the white stuff.

Generally dry with cold temperatures Wednesday through next weekend, temperatures will be slightly below normal but no bitter cold air is anticipated.
