NJ Weather Forecast: New Details on President's Day Weekend Storm

According to the most recent forecast, more information is emerging about the storm that could affect New Jersey over the President's Day weekend.

As temperatures rise, the National Weather Service predicts that snow in New Jersey may turn to rain on Sunday or Monday.

According to an AccuWeather map, South Jersey will see only rain, while much of Central and North Jersey could have rain or snow, with the northwest portion of the state perhaps seeing snowfall.

Dan DePodwin, Senior Director of Forecasting Operations at AccuWeather, stated, "There is enough cold air for some precipitation to be snow and ice, even though there is not a large area of Arctic air to the north." From the mid-Atlantic into southern New England, there is now the highest chance of snow and ice.

Forecasters from AccuWeather and the National Weather Service concur that the storm's most likely path is for it to remain to our south and remain weak enough to not have a significant impact. The National Weather Service says that as of Thursday, there is a 30 to 70 percent chance of precipitation from north to south on Sunday and Monday.

However, a track where the storm turns northward could result in a stronger storm.

"If this were to pan out, dynamic cooling due to robust forcing for ascent along with just enough cold air could result in accumulating snow across much of the area excluding most of the coast," National Weather Service forecasters said. However, this option has a significantly lower likelihood.
