Very Early Morning Ice Storm Update







The ice storm is really starting to ratchet it up across our region. Temperatures are still below freezing in many locations, including interior Southern New Jersey. The radar is indicating bright banding from Lancaster County into Kent County in Delaware. This band contains some heavy freezing rain. There may also be some sleet mixed in with this band. I would not be surprised if some sleet pellets are mixing in with the moderate bands of freezing rain.

We will see a quick one-tenth to two-tenths of an inch of ice over the next three hours in areas that remain below freezing during this period of time. I would guess that power outages will begin to appear after 3 a.m. For areas in Northern and Central New Jersey that had experiencing icing all day on Tuesday, this will push things over the limit.

Morristown by the way is 27 and is reporting light snow. I expect this to be brief.
