New Jersey residents are bracing for significant snowfall with a winter storm warning in effect for parts of the state. The National Weather Service has indicated that snow accumulation could range from 4 to 8 inches across southern New Jersey, with heavier totals possible in certain areas. The predictions have varied by town, but consistent reports suggest that snow will start falling late Sunday evening through Monday morning.
Meteorologist Earlyn T. of the National Weather Service noted, “We’re fine-tuning our predictions with the latest models that indicate a more impactful storm than initially forecasted.” He emphasized the importance of local residents preparing for potentially hazardous travel conditions, stating, “If you have travel plans on Monday, it’s best to reconsider or plan accordingly.”
Areas further north are expected to see lighter snowfall, with some accumulating only 2 to 4 inches. Meanwhile, coastal regions could see a mix of rain and snow, which complicates predictions for those towns. The impact of the storm is expected to peak during the Monday morning commute, which may lead to significant disruptions.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation has advised drivers to remain cautious and stay updated with travel conditions as the storm progresses. Officials also recommended checking their local forecasts for the most current snowfall predictions, which may change leading up to the event.
As the storm approaches, residents are encouraged to equip their homes and vehicles with emergency supplies and to ensure they can stay warm during potential power outages that might occur due to heavy wet snow accumulation.
