New Jersey Braces for Winter Storm: What to Expect

A big storm is heading to New Jersey, bringing snow, rain, and icy mix to different parts of the state.

Winter Weather Alerts Issued

The National Weather Service has issued winter weather alerts for five counties:

• Sussex
• Hunterdon
• Morris
• Warren
• Parts of Passaic

The storm is expected to hit hardest on Tuesday, making the morning commute tricky for many.

Snowfall Expectations

• Sussex County: 4 to 7 inches of snow.
• Hunterdon, Morris, Warren, and northern Passaic: 1 to 5 inches.

The storm will start as snow but quickly turn to rain as the day goes on, making roads slippery and dangerous.

Temperature Variations

• Up north: Mid-30s.
• Down south and along the coast: Mid-40s.

Strong winds will add to the chill, making it feel even colder. By Tuesday evening, the storm will move out, but the cold will stick around.

Overnight Temperatures

• Drop into the 20s, which could lead to black ice on the roads.

Wednesday: A Brief Respite

• Sunny skies and highs in the 30s to low 40s.

Thursday: Another Cold Front

• Lows dropping into the teens.
• Wind chills could make it feel like the single digits.

Friday: Staying Cold

• Highs only in the upper 20s to low 30s.
• Another storm might hit Friday night into Saturday, but it's still unclear if it'll bring rain or snow.

Either way, New Jersey is in for a chilly week.
