It would be the second occurrence of snow this weekend. Enough light snow fell Friday evening to cause traffic disruptions and cancel events.
Once this system passes, the area will have a reprieve from winter weather for a few days. Temperatures Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are predicted to be in the 40s and 50s. There is no additional chances for snow in the extended forecast; some rain is possible late in the week.

As of now, due to milder temperatures expected, a white Christmas does not look likely in New Jersey. We'll have more details on that as the holidays approach.
