As the final weekend of January approaches, New Jersey's weather settles down and dries out.

While Tuesday will be quiet, Wednesday could be messy across New Jersey as a powerful storm system delivers a variety of weather impacts.

The last in a series of active weather, Wednesday's storm system is New Jersey's best chance of accumulating snow in almost a year.

Friday and Saturday will be fairly pleasant across New Jersey, but our next storm system arrives late Sunday, leading to a chance of rain ... and possibly snow.

An area of low pressure will track over New Jersey, producing an extended period of rain, but without the risk of flooding, severe weather, or wintry weather.

While Wednesday will be mild, quiet, and fairly pleasant across New Jersey, Thursday will turn wet and gloomy.

This will be the first of three storm systems to potentially impact New Jersey over the next week.

The first one will bring rain showers, the second will be even wetter, and the third could drive some wintry weather into New Jersey by the end of next weekend.

This Friday the 13th will be a day of transition for New Jersey, progressing from wet and warm to breezy and chilly.

Spotty rain and snow showers Wednesday night will transition to occasional raindrops on Thursday, followed by a period of steady rain arriving Thursday night.

As temperatures rise into the 50s, our next storm system will be another rainmaker.

It has been a very slow start to the winter snow season for most of New Jersey, and that trend will continue through at least January's midpoint.
