Nor’easter threat increases for next week. Updated N.J. forecast.

The threat of a nor’easter hitting New Jersey with strong winds and rain next week is increasing, though forecasters say the storm’s track and details remain uncertain.

“A dynamic setup is forecast for the mid to late week time frame,” the National Weather Service said in an update Saturday afternoon. “There does however appear to be an increasing risk of a storm impacting our region during this timeframe.”

Winds will begin to increase from the northeast, particularly along the coast, according to the weather service forecast.

A more significant coastal storm is possible for New Jersey Wednesday through
