Rain and high winds will return while coastal flooding and snow are forecast. When the sun comes up it gets pretty dry and mild. If you're inland, this is the time to get around. Along or near the bay it's a different story. Coastal floods occur in the morning. It peaks on the ocean side at high tide around 7am and then on the back bay about 2-3 hours later. The National Weather Service has issued a coastal flood advisory, highlighting the threat of nuisance flooding. It teeters between minor and moderate flood stages. That is, the small flood stage is a typical flood that occurs dozens of times a year. On the other hand, during the moderate flood stage, roads are closed, bringing water to unraised homes and businesses. Flooded blocks on the road are expected.

However, when the wind changes from south to northwest, it quickly drops to 40 and 30 degrees. Precipitation is dwindling while damaging winds and power outages threaten. Given the large amount of energy that cold fronts carry, the possibility of thunderstorms cannot be ruled out.

Precipitation does not last long and ends at noon as it moves away from the coast. However, due to the rapid temperature drop, snow can fall for up to 90 minutes from early morning until noon. This snow probably won't stick to the road. The cold, grassy surface is all you'll see in what will be the first snowfall of the year for many.

By 1pm, rain or snow rolls off the coast. After that, the sun comes out pretty quickly. No more harmful wind threats, but gusts and stings remain. I'm most worried about the cold and sudden freezing. By 1pm, he's in his twenties at places like Vineland and Hammonton. In Atlantic City and the coast, it's declining rapidly by what should be in the mid-30s. . If you live inland, this will be the most dangerous aspect of storms. As the holiday weekend begins, car accidents and slow travel are likely. But it could be worse. High winds (gusts of 35 to 45 mph) act like dryers, removing some of the standing water. In short, it will be a race between steep temperatures and dry winds to see how bad the freeze will be. By sundown, temperatures will be in the 20s and winds will be in the single digits. Dirt roads remain icy until late at night.

Atlantic City Senator Frank S. Farley State Marina will have the coldest Christmas Eve and Christmas Day since 1983, and Atlantic City International Airport will have the coldest since 2000. The cold core associated with the polar vortex will pass Saturday morning. The lowest temperature in the morning is 10 to 15 degrees. It would be much colder if the gusts of wind didn't mix in some of the "warm" air. These winds will make Saturday's kickoff feel like -5 to -5 degrees. During the day, peaks are in the late to mid-twenties. With 15-20 miles per hour westerly winds, he never gets over 10 degrees when the wind blows. Saturday night takes me back to my teens, maybe mid teens. Wind chill is in the single digits with a light breeze. Sunday will be a little milder, with highs of 26 degrees inland and 27 degrees on the coast. The wind will be a little weaker, so the wind chill should be 10 degrees instead of single digits.
