Storm Update

The Jersey Shore is expected to see 4-7 inches of snow, while the rest of New Jersey could get 1 to 4 inches. A winter weather advisory is also in effect in South Jersey, while a hazardous weather outlook has been issued for the rest of New Jersey.

The snow should end by Thursday night, but it won't be melting anytime soon. The high temperature on Friday will be around 25 degrees. It will be even colder on Saturday with a high near 11. The predicted wind chill temperature at 8 a.m. Saturday: 8 degrees below zero.

The worst of the storm will hover 20 to 50 miles, or more, off the Jersey Shore But it could produce winds throughout New Jersey exceeding 45 mph.

Besides wind that could knock down trees, signs and poles, there could be incredibly poor visibility on the roadways. And after the snow exits, the temperatures will dip into the polar vortex range with some of the coldest air of what has, at just two days old, already been a bone-chilling year.
