Heavy Snowfall Expected in New Jersey:
Up to 10 Inches Possible
The most recent forecast for Sunday's winter storm calls for up to 10 inches of snow in some areas of New Jersey.
Snow totals in Passaic, Bergen, Essex, Union, Sussex, Morris, Warren, and Hunterdon counties are expected to range from 6 to 10 inches, according to the
National Weather Service's Winter Storm Watch for Sunday.
Snowfall totals drop as you get closer to the coast as rain mixes with snow, and interior Central Jersey may receive
4 to 6 inches of snow. One to two inches are predicted for South Jersey.
Snowfall is predicted to continue into the evening and could start as early as Sunday morning. With the potential to accumulate more than 1 inch of snow per hour, this snow could be heavy at times.
Roads could become slick and covered in snow, according to
AccuWeather forecasters. The private weather agency cautioned that even a little snow could result in "significant delays."
By the time the storm passes, however, we will be moving into what the National Weather Service described as "by far the coldest airmass so far this season," which will bring much colder temperatures. Only Tuesday and Wednesday will see highs in the teens, and if there is enough snowfall, temperatures in South Jersey could drop below freezing.
