New Jersey Weather Update: Is Snow Expected This Thursday?

The National Weather Service's most recent weather briefing indicates that New Jersey is likely to experience its highest probability of snowfall overnight from Wednesday to Thursday morning.

In a briefing on Monday, Senior Meteorologist Chris Dolce from The Weather Channel noted that the "precise path and intensity" of the storm remain "not yet finalized," suggesting that any forecasts regarding specific snow or ice accumulations in particular areas are "still pending."

Currently, snowfall is anticipated to primarily affect the southern region of New Jersey from Wednesday into Thursday, while minimal to no snow is expected in the northern areas.

Discussion regarding the possibility of a nor'easter has been anticipated. It remains a scenario that cannot be dismissed.

Forecast models indicate that the storm's trajectory may vary; however, as per AccuWeather, the amount of snowfall will largely rely on the storm's path.

A more pronounced shift to the north could result in increased snowfall for regions further north, such as Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, where lighter snowfall is currently projected, according to AccuWeather.

Meteorologists at AccuWeather are maintaining their forecast of 1 to 3 inches of snowfall for northern and central New Jersey, while anticipating 3 to 6 inches of snow for the majority of South Jersey from late Wednesday into early Thursday.

The two forecast offices of the National Weather Service responsible for New Jersey have indicated that the storm anticipated this week had the potential to significantly affect our region. However, it now seems that the impacts will be limited, as the storm is expected to follow a path further south than initially predicted.

New Jersey is set to experience frigid temperatures for the majority of this week, as a surge of arctic air moved in late Sunday, even prior to the onset of the storm.
