Winter Storm Watch: NJ Braces for Monday Snowstorm

As the weekend’s dry weather fades into memory, New Jersey residents are gearing up for a winter storm set to hit on Monday. The storm is expected to bring snow to parts of the tri-state area, with Ocean County, New Jersey, under a Winter Storm Watch from late Sunday through late Monday. While NYC may escape the worst of it, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. are likely to bear the brunt of the snowfall.

Impending Snowfall

The upcoming storm is forecasted to bring breezy, cool, and dry conditions on Saturday, with temperatures dropping into the teens and 20s during the day and even lower at night. Sunday is expected to be much of the same, with the possibility of some light snow from Lake Effect bands. However, the real action is set to start on Monday when the snowfall will begin affecting the morning and evening commutes.

Anticipated Impact

While the storm is expected to spare NYC, central and southern New Jersey residents are advised to prepare for significant snowfall. South Jersey is likely to see the most accumulation, with over 6 inches of snow predicted in some areas. Travellers should be cautious as the storm could make roads treacherous and travel near-impossible in certain regions.

Continued Monitoring

Weather models are indicating that the storm will track southward, potentially sparing areas like New York City, Long Island, and northern New Jersey from the worst of the snowfall. However, airports in the Northeast are likely to face disruptions due to the storm. Beyond Monday, strong winds are expected to persist, adding to the wintry conditions throughout the week.

As New Jersey residents prepare for the impending snowstorm, it’s crucial to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during this winter weather event. Stay tuned for further updates and be ready to adjust your plans as needed to navigate the challenges posed by the upcoming snowfall.
