Good morning, New Jersey, and welcome to Friday!
We're closing out the workweek on a chilly, wet note, and if you're headed out early to the bus stop or getting ready for work, you'll definitely need that jacket or even a warm coat. 
You're going to feel a noticeable difference from yesterday.
At around 4:30 a.m., we're waking up to 45 degrees in downtown Newark, and it's a damp, breezy morning as floodwaters continue to recede following Thursday's nasty weather.
Unfortunately, we're not quite finished with the rain. Another round is moving through New Jersey today, and some areas farther north could even see a few snowflakes.
Yes, I said the S-word!
Temperatures are running on the chilly side this morning across the state. Somerville is waking up to 41 degrees, Morristown is at 39, Sussex County is down to a cold 35, and Toms River is checking in at 43 degrees.
It's a messy morning with rain, mist and gusty winds, so take your time on the roads, especially in areas that experienced flooding yesterday.
According to the National Weather Service, rain is expected mainly before 4 p.m., with a high near 44 degrees. North winds of 9 to 15 mph could gust as high as 26 mph, with a 90 percent chance of precipitation.
Temperatures may slip into the lower 40s as the day goes on.
Tonight, there's a 30 percent chance of rain, mainly before 10 p.m., with mostly cloudy skies and a low around 35 degrees.
So, New Jersey, bundle up, keep that umbrella nearby and give yourself a little extra time getting where you need to go.
Make it a great Friday, NJ!
