One thing is for sure, the cold front that came through the area early Friday brought some cold and wind with it! In fact, temperatures dropped during the day on Friday in some areas as the winds picked up and the new, cold airmass moved in. High pressure will build into the area only briefly, though, as three low pressure systems will write the story for the areas weather this weekend into early next week. First, a system is sliding south and east of the area tonight bringing clouds and some scattered showers to Southern New Jersey. This system will be out of the picture by Saturday morning. However, a mid level disturbance will move overhead, bringing more clouds into the picture and a chance for a very widespread sprinkle or flurry. Then, high pressure builds in for the end of the weekend before a front nears the area on Tuesday...and brings the potential for light rain or rain/snow mix in some areas...before a larger storm system rides the front mid-week and brings more rain to the area. A busy weather pattern for sure! This weekend, however, the main story will be cooler...with clouds hanging around Saturday, followed by clearing on Sunday which will be the brighter day of the weekend for sure.
