N.J. snow forecast increases to 5+ inches in some spots. Storm alerts expand to 19 counties.
- A broad winter storm watch expands across New Jersey with 2 to 5 inches expected statewide tonight into early Sunday, and locally higher amounts near the I-95 corridor as per the updated reference and original article.
- Three counties—Camden, Gloucester, and northwestern Burlington—face a winter storm warning with 3 to 5 inches in the forecast and up to 5 inches in spots, per the new reference.
- The heaviest snow is expected after midnight Saturday night, with a transition from rain or mixed precipitation to all snow in some areas, aligning with both sources.
- Most advisories cover the state, with widespread warnings and 1 to 5 inches expected elsewhere, expanding the alert footprint beyond the previously anticipated 19 counties.
- Untreated surfaces are likely to become slippery from late evening through mid-morning, underscoring the need for caution during the storm's peak.
- Wind gusts up to 30 mph can cause blowing and drifting snow, reducing visibility and complicating travel.
- Arctic air will surge into New Jersey Sunday night, bringing bitterly cold conditions with single-digit wind chills in most areas Monday morning.
- Monday’s highs will struggle in the 30s, with elevations above 2,000 feet staying in the 20s, signaling a notably cold start to the workweek.
- A warming trend starts Wednesday, with temperatures rising into the upper 30s to upper 40s, signaling a gradual relief from the cold spell.
- Overall, the forecast combines alerts from both articles to outline a wider impact: significant snowfall, travel hazards, bitter cold, and a midweek warm-up.
