A couple of things to note. Tonight is going to be wacky in terms of weather. Warmer air is moving in, but the ground is still snow covered or just plain cold, especially north and west.

A light drizzle is expected as the warm air rolls over the cold ground. Fog will develop but there might be a small chance of freezing mist/drizzle with elevation.

The pavement may look wet when in fact it could be very slippery. Walk with caution, especially in Sussex, western Passaic and western Morris counties.

Low clouds and foggy weather will stick around until 9 a.m. The clouds will then slowly dissipate, and the sun will start emerging.

With sun and clouds and that favorable wind, temperatures are expected to climb to the upper 40’s to near 50’s in some spots.

The weather continues to improve for Thursday. Mainly sunny and even warmer. By Friday, unfortunately, a colder weather system is set to swing through.

This will allow more chances for rain late Friday into Saturday. Behind the rain the weather will get breezy and begin to once again cool down.
