North Jersey Weather: Snow Fades, Drought Concerns Linger

North Jersey may experience light snowfall on Sunday, with accumulations expected to be minimal north of Trenton. However, temperatures are forecast to rise significantly starting Monday, reaching the mid to upper 40s, with potential for rain later in the week.

Despite recent snow, the region continues to face drought conditions, with reservoirs at concerningly low levels. State officials note that much of the snowfall remains frozen and has provided little benefit to water supply to date. Consistent precipitation is crucial to improve these conditions.

Spring's official arrival, the vernal equinox, is on March 20, 2026. This period typically sees a gradual increase in temperatures due to longer daylight hours and a higher sun angle. However, the possibility of late-season Nor'easters with significant snowfall still exists, as historical events demonstrate.
