1st Snow Of Season As Polar Air Blasts NJ

Snow showers are dusting North Jersey Tuesday morning as the entire state is experiencing polar air and blustery winds. The frigid air is the coldest of the season so far, bringing with it wind gusts of up to 40 mph and the first snow of the season, according to the National Weather Service.

Morning wind chill factors are in the teens, and will only warm up to the mid-40s at most, forecasters said. Winds will make it feel like it's in the 30s, so forecasters expect it to be a bitter, raw day.

Flurries are expected to continue in North Jersey in areas near and north of I-78, though they could stretch down to Central Jersey, National Weather Service forecasters said.

No accumulations are in store, but a dusting of less than a half-inch could happen. WATCH: First Snow Of Season Falls In North Jersey

Blustery winds will continue Wednesday in the range of 25 mph to 30 mph. It will be slightly warmer than the day before, with highs in the 40s to low-50s. More of the same is expected for Thursday, with calmer winds.

Things will be closer to normal November temperatures as we head into the weekend. It will get the warmest on Sunday, though there will also be a chance of rain.

Colder air looks like it will return early next week, according to the National Weather Service.
