Winter Storm to Hit New Jersey with Snow, Sleet, and Freezing Rain
A significant winter storm is set to impact New Jersey this weekend, bringing a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Winter weather alerts have been issued across nearly the entire state, with the exception of Cape May County. Forecasters are particularly concerned about dangerous icy road conditions, which could create hazardous travel scenarios.
Western Bergen County and western Passaic County are under a winter storm warning, with 5 to 7 inches of snow expected, along with a light glaze of ice, between Saturday evening and late Sunday morning. Essex, Hudson, and Union counties, initially under a winter storm watch, have been downgraded to a winter weather advisory, with 3 to 5 inches of snow and a light glaze of ice anticipated. Winter weather advisories have also been issued for 15 other counties due to the high risk of icy conditions on roads, bridges, and walkways.
The storm is expected to bring varying levels of precipitation across the state, with total snow and sleet accumulations ranging from 1 to 7 inches, depending on the region. Ice accumulations are forecast to be between one-tenth and two-tenths of an inch in most areas. The alerts will be in effect from late Saturday morning or afternoon through early Sunday morning, with specific times varying by county.
Residents are urged to exercise caution and limit travel unless necessary, as icy conditions could lead to dangerous driving situations. The storm is expected to taper off by Sunday morning, but lingering effects, such as icy patches, may persist. Authorities are advising residents to prepare for potential power outages and to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts.
