Will Wayne See Snow? See Latest Predictions For Incoming Storm

WAYNE, NJ — Parts of Passaic County could see two inches of snow to close out the week as a storm moves into New Jersey, according to National Weather Service estimates.

Little to no snow accumulation is expected in Wayne Township at this time, but there is rain expected on Thursday and Friday as temperatures fall. Highs on Thursday will be near 50, with breezy and wet conditions in the morning. Friday will also be cloudy and windy, with a high near 42.

In West Milford, where firefighters recently contained a 2,200-acre wildfire, forecasters call for up to two inches of snow between Thursday night and Friday. The much-needed moisture will help put out any smoldering remnants of that fire.

Things will dry out again over the weekend, but the chance for showers increases again as we head into next week.

Here is the forecast in Wayne through Friday, from the National Weather Service office in New York:

Thursday: Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. High near 50. Northeast wind around 11 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90 percent. New precipitation amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.
