Winter Weather Alert: Possible Significant Snowfall Forecasted for the Weekend
With a few periods of light rain and snow flurries this week, New Jersey can anticipate a fairly calm start to the New Year. However, forecasters are closely monitoring the possibility of a major weekend storm that could bring "the first significant snowfall in nearly 2 years," according to the National Weather Service.
A few days before the storm, the weather service emphasized that there is still a great deal of uncertainty. By the weekend, the weather might still be warm enough to sustain the storm rain or a combination of precipitation in the state's northern and southern regions.
In summary, there's a good chance for a significant system this weekend, but it's unclear exactly what shape those effects will take. The weather should be closely monitored by anyone with plans for this weekend because there is a good chance that it will fluctuate.
Two potential storm tracks are shown in AccuWeather's forecast as the system approaches from the south.
"If cold air holds its ground to the north and the storm takes a track slightly more to the southeast, rather than right along the coast, there is a chance that accumulating snow can fall all the way to the Atlantic coast from this storm in the Northeast," AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham stated.
The forecast service stated that a second front that moves ahead of the storm may have an impact on when the weekend storm arrives on Saturday.
