UPDATE: Tricky coastal storm forecast includes snow, up to 50 mph winds, flooding<\/a><\/p>\n

A powerful storm<\/a> is increasingly likely to affect New Jersey this weekend with up to 50 mph winds and coastal flooding, along with the potential for another round of snow. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to monitor the potential for a coastal storm this weekend,\u201d the National Weather Service said. \u201cConfidence is increasing in at least some impacts for the coast, particularly from strong winds and potential coastal flooding.\u201d<\/p>\n

The potential for snow is less certain, particularly if the storm tracks farther east off the coast, the weather service said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of impacts to our forecast area, this still hinges on the exact track the storm takes which remains uncertain at this time,\u201d the weather service said. \u201cTiming wise, the earliest this would arrive is late day Saturday with the brunt of the storm occurring Saturday night into Sunday if we get it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service offered this breakdown for the probability for snow:<\/p>\n

More than 2 inches – Around 60% near the Jersey Shore, 50% for the I-95 corridor, and lower probabilities northwest of I-95.For 6+ inches – Around 50% near the Jersey Shore, 40% for the I-95 corridor. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese probabilities seem reasonable at this point,\u201d the weather service said, noting the storm system is still days from even forming off the southeast coast. <\/p>\n

\u201cRegardless of snow amounts, the storm will likely track close enough to bring the area increasing winds Saturday night into Sunday morning,\u201d the weather service said.<\/p>\n

Northeast winds of 15 to 25 mph gusting to 25 to 35 mph are likely inland and 25 to 35 mph gusting to 50 mph along the Jersey Shore are possible Sunday.<\/p>\n

By Sunday evening, the storm should be rapidly pulling away to the northeast with generally tranquil but cold weather expected for early next week.<\/p>\n

Record cold possible<\/p>\n

For the rest of this week, dangerously cold temperatures will grip New Jersey with wind chills dropping below zero tonight.<\/p>\n

Record-breaking low temperatures are possible Thursday and Friday, the National Weather Service said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

A cold weather advisory remains in effect for nearly the entire state until 10 a.m. Wednesday as a strong cold front moves through the state this evening.<\/p>\n

Tonight\u2019s wind chills will range from zero to 10 degrees below zero across most of New Jersey, with the coldest values in the northern areas.<\/p>\n

Wednesday will be sunny and cold with highs in the teens to low 20s, followed by even colder nights Wednesday through Saturday as Arctic air repeatedly reinforces the cold pattern.<\/p>\n

Morning lows are expected to drop into the single digits to below zero each day through Saturday, with each night potentially colder than the previous one.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service said this prolonged Arctic cold is rare for the region and should be taken seriously for anyone venturing outside for extended periods.<\/p>\n
