Wintry Mix For Saturday Update




A winter weather advisory has been issued for Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, Mercer, Passaic, Bergen, Union, Essex, and Middlesex Counties. This is where there is the greatest the chance of freezing rain and snow accumulations that meet the advisory criteria.

It will be a close call elsewhere. Daytime highs in the mid thirties continue to be expected on my end for the entire region, including the non-advisory areas. This likely means that some additional areas may be included in later advisories for some freezing rain in the morning.

The models also show a drop in temperature later in the evening as the storm pulls away. There still is a chance for an inch or two of snow on the back-side, especially in Northern and Central New Jersey if things work out perfectly.

For now, I have included the WRF model which shows the temperatures during the midday hours with the event. I have also included a graphic showing the advisory area. Later today, I will post more information...including a snow and ice total graphic.
