As chief meteorologist, my mission is to provide the most honest, accurate weather forecasts possible. I grew up in Jackson, where my weather obsession earned me the nickname "Weatherman Dan." I earned my atmospheric science degree from Cornell University. My career as a TV meteorologist included stops in Oklahoma, in Central New York and at News 12 New Jersey. I've also done research and programming work for the Northeast Regional Climate Center and NJ State Climate Office. I am proud to hold the American Meteorological Society's prestigious Certified Broadcast Meteorologist designation. I live in Union County with my wife, Amy, and young sons, Jackson, Griffin, and Nathan. Things I love: family, wine, storm chasing, Broadway musicals and Disney World.

NJ weather: One mild day, one rainy day, one wintry day, then Spring
Our weather forecast gets pretty wild in the final days of winter - first you’ll need an umbrella, then the winter coat, and then sunglasses.
Tuesday NJ weather: Cloudy and cold, with spotty rain/snow showers
Another storm system later this week looks to bring a healthy soaking to New Jersey.

Friday NJ weather: Warm streak ends, with showers and a cold wind
70 degrees! Thursday will probably be NJ’s warmest day of the year so far
A sea breeze will keep the Shore cooler Thursday, it won't be as bright and sunny, and a big cooldown will arrive in just 36 to 48 hours.
Springlike warmth and sunshine continue, but not for all of NJ
A pesky on-shore breeze will keep Wednesday's temperatures cooler than Tuesday's, especially along the Jersey Shore.

After fantastic 50s and splendid sunshine on Wednesday, conditions across New Jersey will feel much more January-ish through the upcoming weekend.

Our next substantial chance of rain is more than a week away.
