March is known for its unpredictable weather in New Jersey. One day can be warm, the next freezing.
Sometimes it’s dry, other times it’s rainy or even snowy. This week, we will experience a mix of cold, pleasant, and rainy weather.
Monday: A Freezing Start
Monday will be extremely cold, reminding us that winter is not over yet. Morning temperatures will be in the teens and 20s, while the afternoon will only reach the mid to upper 30s. This makes it about 10 degrees colder than usual for this time of year.
Fun fact: This winter season has had 51 days where temperatures didn’t hit 40°F in Trenton. That’s the highest count in a decade!
Despite the cold, Monday will be sunny with light winds. At night, temperatures will drop again into the mid-20s, with even colder spots in some areas.
Tuesday: A Pleasant, Dry Day
Tuesday will bring a break from the cold. Temperatures will rise to around 50°F, making it feel more like typical March weather.
The sky will be partly to mostly cloudy, but there will be no rain. A light breeze will blow throughout the day, becoming stronger later.
Wednesday: Rainstorm Incoming
Wednesday will be the wettest day of the week. Rain will start early in the morning and continue until late evening. The heaviest rain is expected in the late afternoon to early evening.
Some thunderstorms may develop, bringing gusty winds and small hail. However, this is mainly just a rain event, with total rainfall expected to be around half an inch in South Jersey and up to 1.5 inches in North Jersey.
Despite the rain, temperatures will be warm, reaching the mid-50s or even 60°F in some areas.
Thursday: Cold Air Returns
Thursday will see another drop in temperatures as a cold front moves in. No additional rain is expected, but it will be windy and colder throughout the day.
Morning temperatures will be around 50°F, but they will fall sharply in the afternoon.

Friday will stay windy, with morning temperatures in the teens and 20s. The afternoon will be cold but not as extreme as Monday, with highs in the 40s.
This back-and-forth pattern will continue into the second week of March. No snow is expected, and the chance of a major winter storm is fading as spring approaches.
Conclusion: Be Ready for All Kinds of Weather
New Jersey’s weather will change daily this week, from cold to warm and rainy.
Make sure to dress warmly on Monday, enjoy the pleasant weather on Tuesday, and have an umbrella ready for Wednesday.
As we move further into March, winter’s grip is loosening, but we’re not done with the cold just yet!
