Highs will climb into the low 50s in New Jersey on Wednesday, though it'll be quite windy, forecasters say.National Weather Service
Overnight precipitation is winding down across New Jersey this morning ahead of what will be a somewhat warmer, but windy day in the Garden State.
While patchy fog and light drizzle could persist in some spots, we’ll have a mostly dry day with temperatures in the low 50s as clouds clear out, the National Weather Service said. It’ll feel colder, though, as winds increase to 10 to 20 mph with gusts as high as 25 mph in the late morning and early afternoon.
Overnight lows will fall into the upper 20s and low 30s, but winds will have diminished.
A long stretch of sunny, but brisk weather starts Thursday and is expected to continue through at least Tuesday. Highs won’t make it out of the 40s during the day and overnight lows will primarily be in the 20s.
Thursday will be particularly blustery with winds of 15-20 mph gusting as high as 30. The weekend will be even cooler than Thursday and Friday with northwestern parts of the state topping out in the upper 30s.
On Friday night some lows could be in the teens in areas north of Interstate 78, the weather service said in its morning forecast discussion.
Normal daytime highs are in the 50s in mid-November with AccuWeather.com describing the days ahead as “abnormally cold.”
On Tuesday, Wantage had received 1.4 inches of snow and freezing rain by early evening, while Sussex Borough picked up seven-tenths of an inch of snow, the weather service said. On the Morris County side of Lake Hopatcong, two-tenths of an inch accumulated.
Low-elevation areas of northwestern New Jersey normally get their first measurable snow — defined as one-tenth of an inch on the ground — around Dec. 2, and the first full inch around Dec. 9. But it’s not unusual to see a light coating of snow in high-elevation areas of the state as early as late October or early November.

For most of New Jersey, the coastal storm brought steady rain. And in some areas, the rain was heavy, with 3.3 inches reported in Smithville in Atlantic County, 3 inches reported in Toms River in Ocean County and 2.95 inches reported in Bradley Beach in Monmouth County.
In addition, the National Weather Service said Spring Lake Heights picked up 2.88 inches of rain, Neptune Township got 2.87 inches, Point Pleasant Beach reported 2.82 inches and Brielle got 2.80 inches of rain. And the Rutgers NJ Weather Network reported 2.97 inches of rain in Sea Girt.
