Good morning, New Jersey, and welcome to Monday.
We’re waking up to below-freezing temperatures across Newark and the North Jersey region, and with the wind factored in, it feels more like the teens out there.
After a fairly decent weekend, with Saturday climbing into the mid-50s and Sunday staying sunny but slightly cooler, winter has quickly reminded us it’s not done just yet.
As of this morning, it’s 25 degrees in downtown Newark, but wind chills are making it feel closer to 16.
If you’re headed to the bus stop or out the door early, bundle up. Heavy winter coats are back in play today.
According to the National Weather Service, today will be mostly cloudy early before gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 32 degrees.
Wind chill values will range between 10 and 20 degrees. North winds around 5 mph will become calm later in the day.
Tonight, clouds will increase with a low around 24 degrees. Light winds are expected.
The good news? Forecasters say this may be the last true cold snap of the season, with temperatures expected to climb steadily through the week and potentially reach near 60 degrees by Saturday.
We’re already in March and moving quickly through the first quarter of the year, hang in there, Jersey. Warmer days are on the horizon.
Enjoy your day.
