Back to Back Storms could Dump 4-6 Inches of Snow

From the NWS- The counties expected to receive the most snow from Tuesday morning to Thursday morning are Monmouth, Ocean, Mercer, Burlington, Gloucester, Camden, western Atlantic and northern Salem counties where 4 to 6 inches is projected.


A coastal storm will impact the region on Tuesday. A wintry mix is expected to overspread the area from the south Tuesday morning and could impact travel during the day. Rain and sleet mixing in with the wet snow could cut down on snowfall accumulations on Tuesday, especially in southern New Jersey and Delmarva. Snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are possible Tuesday into Tuesday night with the highest amounts likely at higher elevations closer to the Mason-Dixon line. A second, probably stronger, coastal low is expected to develop Tuesday night and impact portions of the region on Wednesday. There is a potential for significant snowfall if the storm tracks close enough to the area. The combination of heavy wet
snow and gusty northeast winds could lead to extensive power outages in this scenario. However, there is still considerable uncertainty in the track of the second coastal storm, so please continue to monitor the latest forecast.
