New Jersey Braces for Snow: Winter Storm Warning Issued

Ahead of the impending winter storm that is predicted to hit New Jersey on Sunday, new information regarding the timing and anticipated amounts of snowfall has been made public.

The storm's timing has advanced, and snowfall is predicted to begin as early as Sunday morning. The National Weather Service says the snow, which could be heavy at times, will last until late Sunday night.

Hunterdon, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, Warren, and the western parts of Bergen, Essex, and Union counties were all under a winter storm warning on Saturday, according to NWS forecasters. From 10 a.m. on Sunday until 1 a.m. on Monday, the warning is in force.

Snow-covered roads and challenging travel could result from "widespread snowfall accumulations, with snowfall rates potentially exceeding 1 inch per hour," according to forecasters.

The most recent forecast states that North Jersey will receive 6 to 8 inches of snow, the most of any state. Snowfall totals drop as you get closer to the coast, with interior Central Jersey potentially receiving 4 to 6 inches. It is anticipated that South Jersey will receive 1 to 2 inches.
