White Christmas? Snow and cold forecast for Jersey Shore

It’s already cold and we’ve seen some snow flurries, but will we have a white Christmas in New Jersey? The first predictions are available and they all agree. Here are some early predictions:

Will it snow on Christmas Day in New Jersey?

Temperatures are forecast to rise starting Sunday, and the chances of a white Christmas in New Jersey are slim, especially on the Jersey Shore where temperatures remain relatively warm, said Ken Elliott, a meteorologist at WeatherWorks, a New Jersey-based company resident meteorology company.

“I think Christmas will be like a transitional period,” he said, explaining that temperatures are expected to remain above normal during the holiday season and tend to get colder after the holidays due to a temporary warm spell or an unusually warm period of weather in the winter months.

“Starting next week, just before Christmas, we’re going to be in a warm, at least mild period, and it’s just going to be hard to get through that,” Elliott said.

In keeping with this, an early forecast from AccuWeather also assumes a snow-free Christmas. The forecast calls for a sunny Christmas Day with some clouds and temperatures between 30 and 40 degrees for most of the state.

Overall, what will this winter look like in New Jersey?

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, winter is expected to be mild and dry in the Garden State, as is the rest of the Northeast region. The southernmost parts of the state could see snow as the Almanac expects a mild but snowy winter in Delaware and Maryland.

If you are a snow lover, there is no need to fret about New Jersey’s dry winter as the conditions are prevalent across the country.

“This winter, temperatures will rise and snowfall will fall across most of the United States,” Carol Connare, editor-in-chief of the Almanac, said in her annual winter forecast.

“While there will continue to be cool temperatures and snow on most slopes, the high heating costs associated with the season are unlikely to be as significant. We are predicting a moderate, uneventful winter,” she added.
