A cold front will send temperatures tumbling across New Jersey starting Thursday night, as a brisk wind kicks in. But the deep freeze will not last long.
Spotty rain and snow showers Wednesday night will transition to occasional raindrops on Thursday, followed by a period of steady rain arriving Thursday night.
It's going to feel mighty December-ish around New Jersey through the middle of the month; and yes, cold air is the first important ingredient for snowy weather.
