NJ Braces for 5 Inches of Snow Sunday
19 Jan
Summary
- New Jersey faces 2 to 5 inches of snow on Sunday.
- Winter weather advisories cover 17 counties as snow falls.
- Extreme cold and wind chills expected after the storm.
New Jersey is expecting widespread snowfall totals ranging from 2 to 5 inches on Sunday, as a second winter storm sweeps across the state. Snow began before sunrise and is forecast to continue throughout the day, with a possibility of a midday lull before heavier afternoon snow. Winter weather advisories are now in effect for 17 counties, with updated snowfall predictions indicating higher accumulations in some areas.
The storm's impact is concentrated in central and northeastern New Jersey, with specific advisories issued for several counties detailing expected snow accumulations and end times. Following the storm, residents will face rapidly dropping temperatures as night falls, leading to potential refreezing and slick conditions on untreated surfaces. Below-normal temperatures are predicted to persist through Tuesday, with severe wind chills nearing zero degrees on Monday night.
The prolonged cold snap is expected to break by Wednesday, with temperatures moderating toward seasonal averages. However, a subsequent cold front by the end of the week will bring temperatures back to near or slightly below normal. The weather pattern may become more active again the following weekend, though specifics are still uncertain.
