The National Weather Service predicts a chilly weekend for New Jersey, with temperatures expected to rise into the mid-50s across most of the state before a strong cold front arrives. Rain is expected to move into northwestern New Jersey and spread across the state through Friday morning, with total rainfall expected to be around a quarter to half an inch. All showers are expected to clear by Friday afternoon, but temperatures will fall through the day as colder air rushes in behind the front. No rain is expected for the weekend.
