Jan 7: Next week finally warming up

Verification for Wednesday Night: The actual lows were slightly warmer than my expectations. Areas north and west of NYC had lows in the mid 20s instead of the lower 20s, and areas in NYC and closer to the coast had lows in the upper 20s instead of the mid 30s.

Verification for Today: The forecast verified, with highs north and west of NYC in the mid 30s, and for NYC and closer to the coast in the upper 30s, which was in the forecast range.

Tonight: Light snow developing between 1 and 3 AM. Low temperatures will be in the mid 20s north and west of NYC, and in the upper 20s for NYC and closer to the coast. Snow accumulation up to 1/2 inch expected, with up to 1 inch for the immediate coast.

Tomorrow: Snow, mainly before noon. High temperatures will be in the upper 20s to lower 30s north and west of NYC, and in the lower to mid 30s for NYC and closer to the coast. Snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches expected.

Tomorrow Night: Partly Cloudy. Low temperatures will be in the mid to upper 10s north and west of NYC, and in the upper 10s to lower 20s for NYC and closer to the coast.

Tomorrow's Light Snow:

As the storm moves in from our west, expect snow to begin late tonight. The snow should be generally light but could be moderate at times near the coast. The snow will continue through tomorrow morning's rush hour and should end by the afternoon, with total snow amounts between 1-2 inches for most of the area except the immediate coast and Long Island, which could see up to 2-4 inches of snow. For snow totals overall in New Jersey, the northern half of the state should see 1 to 2 inches, with the southern half of the state seeing 2 to 4 inches.

Warm up for next week:

From what it looks like as of now, we should see a warm up during early next week. After this weekend's high temperatures in the 20s, for next week high temperatures will instead be in the 30s. By mid week, high temperatures will be in the mid to upper 30s across the area, and sometime later next week, some places may break the 40 degree mark.
