It’s a chilly Friday morning in North Jersey as residents prepare to dive into the holiday shopping frenzy on Black Friday.
Good morning, New Jersey! The rain has cleared, but the December-like chill is here, with temperatures at 41 degrees in Newark as of 4:30 a.m.
Breezy winds make it feel even colder, so bundle up in winter coats if you’re heading out early to snag Christmas shopping deals.
According to the National Weather Service, today’s forecast includes increasing clouds and a slight chance of sprinkles after 1 p.m.
The high will reach near 45 degrees, and west winds at 6 to 13 mph will keep the air brisk.
Tonight will bring mostly clear skies, with temperatures dropping to around 29 degrees.
The colder-than-normal pattern is expected to continue, so shoppers should plan accordingly for outdoor adventures.
As the holiday season officially kicks off, enjoy the deals, stay warm, and make the most of this festive day!
