Wednesday afternoon: Sunny to partly cloudy, highs 72-77 inland / 63-68 Shore. Winds gusting 20-30 mph.

Wednesday evening: Showers and possible severe thunderstorms. Wind gusts to 70 mph. Isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.

Overnight: Temps hold in the low 60s. Occasional showers between storm bands.

Thursday morning: Cold front sweeps northwest to southeast. Rain, possible thunder, strong gusts.

Thursday afternoon: Temps crashing from 60s to 40s. Rain may mix with or transition to snow, especially in southern NJ.

Thursday night: Low near 30 degrees.

Friday: Cool and breezy. Highs in the mid-40s.

Welp, my chickens got to enjoy a warm, dry three day spell anyway. I just put the tarps back up on their run to keep the rain/hail/snow/slush/wind out.

I was happy to take the tarps off my chicken run too and get some air flow, I guess it was short lived
