Weather

There will be some minor weather issues as Thanksgiving approaches., as spurts of rain could cause flight delays and gusts of wind could bring parade problems.

Temperatures this weekend will go down across New Jersey, but I would not call this one an "arctic blast" with little threat of fierce winds or wintry weather.

We're warming up then cooling down through this weekend, with rain in the middle. New Jersey's forecast for Thanksgiving week could turn a bit more turbulent.

Cold rain is uncomfortable and raw and just plain miserable, but drier weather will prevail by Wednesday afternoon.

A storm system will slide into New Jersey from the southwest Tuesday evening and will be mainly wet but somewhat wintry through Wednesday morning.

The wicked wind will be a bit calmer Monday — but any breeze will add a bite to the chilly air, so you will be reaching for a good jacket, sweater, or coat.

From 50-ish to the 40s to 60-ish to the 40s, New Jersey will ride a little temperature roller coaster over the next few days.

There is nothing unusual or extreme in this forecast; we are just stuck in a cool streak of mid-November weather across New Jersey.

Wednesday will feel like another December-ish day, but we are talking about wind gusts around 20 mph rather than 40+ mph like on Tuesday.

This chilly air is unseasonable and there's good reason to bundle up warmly, but there is nothing extreme or dangerous in the forecast here — 'tis the season.
