UPDATE SUNDAY NIGHT: Wind chills could hit -25 degrees (yes, that's a minus) in overnight deep freeze

New Jersey dodged a major snowstorm this weekend after a surge of warm air kept heavy rains falling instead of snow and sleet into Sunday morning.

Forecasters with the National Weather Service still warned of potentially dangerous wind chills and icy conditions as temperatures are expected to drop rapidly on Sunday. The flash freeze could create dangerous black ice from all of the heavy rainfall and flooding concerns along the coast also remain.

Here's what you need to know about the weather forecast changes in the weekend storm.

When will the rain stop?

The fast-moving storm is expected to bring rain showers throughout much of the morning before 10 a.m. The heaviest rains should stop by the afternoon. Periods of significant downpours are not expected to last long.

About 1 inch to 1.5 inches of rain has fallen along the I-95 corridor as of Sunday morning and forecasters warned additional precipitation could cause local flooding.

A flood watch for parts of the state remains in effect.

What are the latest snow total predictions?

Forecasters are no longer calling for snow for most of the state. Sussex County, however, remains under a winter storm warning until 6 p.m. but is expected to get no more than an inch of additional snow.

The winter storm is shaping up to be a big miss for New Jersey as some predictions a few days out had up to a foot of snow in parts of the state. Forecasters, however, had been saying all along that the track of the storm could shift and the timing of the arctic blast of cold air could swing snow totals dramatically. Even as precipitation began to fall Saturday night, the latest forecasts still had 4 to 6 inches for northwestern New Jersey, but that did not materialize.
