NEW JERSEY — As November comes to an end so do the bitter cold temperatures. New Jersey temperatures will warm up over the next couple of days but eyes will remain on the sky as there is also the possibility of two storm systems rolling in, according to forecasters.

For Thursday, New Jersey will return to milder weather with sunny skies, temperature highs around the 50s, and lighter winds compared to the past few frigid days, according to US National Weather Service Philadelphia/Mount Holly(NWS).

Friday is when the first of two storms coming from the south will funnel moisture into the area, AccuWeather meteorologists said.

"Milder air surging into the interior Northeast late this week will likely bring rain to many of the hard-hit lake-effect snow areas from northeastern Ohio, northwestern Pennsylvania and western New York Friday into Saturday, Buckingham said. The combination of rain and melting snow could lead to area creeks and rivers rising to near bankfull this weekend," according to AccuWeather.

Temperatures will remain warm with highs around 48 on Friday and there is a 70 percent chance of rain after 1 p.m. Rain is expected to continue throughout the night before tapering off around 1 a.m.

The storm will bring rain across Philadelphia and New York City from Friday afternoon to early Friday night.

Saturday is expected to be dry, but a second storm is possible on Sunday.

"Much of the Northeast will get a break of dry weather on Saturday, ahead of a second storm from the Southern states that is likely to spread rain along the Interstate 95 corridor and parts of the Appalachians from Sunday to Sunday night," according to AccuWeather.
