Dan Zarrow's Forecast

Even when it's not raining, thick clouds, a brisk wind, and cooler-than-normal temperatures are in New Jersey's forecast for Thursday.

And just so I don't get accused of 'clickbait' - that day is Thursday.

The rest of the week will be mostly quiet, with temperatures generally at or below seasonal normals.

We will start to see calmer, quieter weather by Monday afternoon.

Widespread warmth is in the forecast, away from the coast, for both Friday and Saturday.

80 degrees is still a possibility by the weekend.

A big warmup is still on track for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Coastal communities along the Jersey Shore will end up significantly cooler this week, as ocean water temperatures remain quite chilly in the 40s.

Monday is starting in the 20s across much of the state, but 80 degrees is a possibility by the end of the week.

Don't expect much snow accumulation at all - the track and dynamics are off this time around.

Friday will bring light snow and rain, Saturday shows a good chance of accumulating snow, and the system on Monday-Tuesday looks mostly rainy.

New Jersey's active first week of April continues, with a mix of springlike and winterlike weather.
