The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for New Jersey, starting from 4am on Thursday morning until 10am on Friday. The anticipated coastal low is in the process of forming and will likely position itself slightly farther out to sea than models indicated yesterday. This will likely allow a slightly larger area to see a changeover to sleet, freezing rain, and all rain for the majority of far southeastern coastal regions from Ocean County and south.

NEW JERSEY – What a difference a day makes. Or two. After the mix of sleet, ice, and a lot of rain from the Monday night storm, we got to enjoy a beautiful day on Tuesday to allow a lot of the existing snow to melt away. This was a wonderful hint of warmer early spring days ahead. Not so fast! As noted in Monday’s weather update, another coastal storm is brewing for Thursday into Friday. Early models indicated a likely repeat of ice, sleet, and rain. Things have radically changed in the past 24 hours.

NEWARK, NJ – Newark officials are advising residents to use caution when driving on roads to start off this week after another winter weather advisory was posted by the National Weather Service that will commence Monday afternoon through early Tuesday morning. Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose issued a statement over the weekend asking residents to heed warnings to reports of impending weather that is expected to flood roads, subsequently becoming slippery and should be avoided.
