Good Thursday morning! We’re waking up across Newark and the North Jersey region to a cold start, with temperatures hovering just above freezing.
As of 4:30 a.m., it’s about 34 degrees, but don’t let that number fool you, a steady breeze is making it feel even colder.
If you’re heading out early, bundle up with your winter gear, because there’s still a noticeable chill in the air.
Today marks the final full day of winter, with spring officially arriving tomorrow morning, and many across the Garden State are more than ready to welcome the change.
For today, conditions will be partly sunny and a bit more comfortable compared to yesterday.
Winds will be lighter, helping ease that biting chill, but you’ll still want a coat if you’re out and about.
According to the National Weather Service, we can expect a high near 47 degrees, with light winds becoming southerly at 5 to 9 mph later this morning.
Tonight, skies will remain partly cloudy with temperatures dipping to around 36 degrees. Winds will be light and calm into the evening.
Stay warm, stay safe, and make it a great day, New Jersey!
