Best of Storm Begins Now, Mixing In Parts of South Jersey

The transfer of energy to the coast is in progress. The area of precipitation that began to develop around the Chesapeake Bay is behaving as I expected. It has now expanded to cover most of the Delaware Valley into Central and Southern New Jersey. This area will continue to become more intense and expand over the ocean. The radar will fill in over the ocean as pressure falls offshore.

Heavy snow at times can be expected over the next two to three hours across New Jersey. In between the Atlantic City Expressway and Route 70 will lay the line between rain and snow. With temperatures around freezing, some freezing rain can be expected. I have seen a mixture of rain, wet snow, and sleet over the past hour with a temperature of around 32 degrees. The mixing zone is lining up exactly where I anticipated it would. Atlantic City and Cape May will see mainly heavy rain with some sleet/ wet snow mixed in, especially towards the end. I could even see this ending as some snow for these areas.
