🌡️ Temps climb into the 60s this weekend! Let's go0o0o0oo0! ⛈️ FRI PM (6-9 PM): Expect a quick burst of breezy rain/t-showers. While some showers might linger through the late evening/night, we're not expecting severe storms with damaging wind. @News12NJ #NJwx

Yes, it's cold today, but the sun will feel nice at least. You'll still need the winter coat, though. @News12NJ #NJwx

@jacecraftmiller The latest GLM imagery (1301Z) does suggest that the boom was a result of a meteor.

Spectacular imagery of a wall of dust racing south through West Texas along a cold front yesterday.

It is windy and cooler this AM with some rogue, windswept flurries possible around 6 PM (no accumulation). ❄️ The rest of the week stays quiet but chilly before we rebound into the 50s/60s this weekend! ☀️ @News12NJ #NJwx

⚠️ WINDY AHEAD OF SEVERE STORMS ⛈️ Expect gusts of 30-50mph starting 2PM ahead of storms. Severe t-storms arrive at 5PM and last until 1AM. Sun today = more instability. Primary threat: Damaging winds & flooding. Not all towns get hit, but stay alert! @News12NJ #NJwx

🙂‍↔️A front SWOOPS through northern NJ today from 2-11PM with light rain/snow 🙃Then comes the wind 😖SAT's gusts can be as strong as 35-40mph. At least it'll be sunny 😄SUN is uneventful 🙄MON will be warmer, unsettled with some showers then late day t-storms @News12NJ #NJwx

@BethaniPhoenix7 @News12NJ LOL! We call it the "angry curl"

@Meteor_Mike we were loving the #SupermanCurl this morning. You forgot your glasses to hide your secret identity. 😁 @News12NJ

🥵It will likely hit 80 degrees again today, breaking another high temp record for EWR. ⛈️ Strong gusty t-storms hit from 5-11PM. An isolated tornado is possible in SW NJ and PA. 📉 Colder temps plunge to 40s THU afternoon with 20-30mph gusts & cold rain. @News12NJ #NJwx

It's just sunny and perfect today with highs in the mid-70s! ☀️ Although highs will be in the mid-50s at the coast. This May-like stretch ends tomorrow night with rain and t-storms, followed by falling temps on THU @News12NJ #NJwx

☀️Another 70 degree day! This time, it'll be sunny! Aside from yesterday's 73 degrees, it's the first time we're seeing this warmth since 11/5/25! 🌬️I'll be cooler along the coast, east of the parkway, south of Exit 129. 🌫️ Foggy tonight, but lifts with sunrise. @News12NJ #NJwx

It's not often you get a 3-6 inch snowfall overnight and then have sunshine and 50s the very next day. The rapid melting was impressive under the March sunshine. -- March 3-4, 2026 Southern Maine

🙏WE'RE ALMOST THROUGH IT! Clouds hold on today, so does some of the fog and mist. ✋BUT WAIT🛑 Tomorrow will be slightly better yet still cloudy. If we're lucky, a break of sun can come through north of I-78. 😱YET IT RAINS OVERNIGHT BUT THEN: Sunday is great! @News12NJ #NJwx

🧐🌧️A 'stationary' front has laid the tracks for on/off showers today. It's not terrible, but definitely damp & mild (near 50 degrees) 🧐🌧️THU? A washout. Moderate rain throughout the day, with some breaks. Puddles are expected and the snow continues to melt. @News12NJ #NJwx

The nor’easter quickly intensified as it moved northward, becoming a bomb cyclone. Lightning flashes were witnessed within the strengthening system, a phenomenon in winter storms known as thundersnow. One such occurred over New York City on the morning of February 23rd. (2/7)

🧐 Slick travel expected this morning in NW NJ & along the Delaware River area due to a wintry mix that changes to rain near noon. Unsettled weather continues WED - FRI with a cloudy sky and on/off showers, but temps will hold in the 40s/50s. @News12NJ #NJwx

THE NEXT THING: Mix to Rain ❄️TUE 7AM - NOON: Wintry mix for Central/North NJ. Expect a slick, slushy inch or so of snow/ice. 💦TUE NOON - WED 8AM: Plain rain statewide. Higher elevations may see freezing rain linger a bit longer into the afternoon. @News12NJ #NJwx
