Wintry Mess Begins Across New Jersey

Mount Holly: Snow
Wrightstown: Snow
Trenton: Snow
Lakehurst: Snow
Somerville: Snow
Newark: Snow
Atlantic City: (Airport is inland from coast) Snow

Millville: Freezing Rain.

Doppler radar shows the line between snow and freezing rain & sleet is just south of the Atlantic City Expressway and east of the Garden State Parkway. This line will move from southeast to northeast throughout the early morning hours of Tuesday. Temperatures will rise slowly in interior Southern New Jersey and Central New Jersey. The greatest icing will occur along the Delaware River where the coldest air will hold the longest.

Remember, freezing rain is very hazardous. Even a trace of ice can cause numerous accidents and no traction. If it is raining and the temperature is 32 or below, it is likely freezing rain.

Northwestern Burlington, Monmouth, Mercer, Ocean, Camden, Gloucester, Cumberland, and Salem Counties remain under a winter weather advisory through Tuesday Morning for hazardous weather conditions due to the snow and ice. The criteria for a winter weather advisory is 2 or more inches of snow, but not more than four inches of snow or a trace to 0.24" inches of ice.

These are the things that we have going for a cold air damming situation:

-Snow cover on the ground.
-Cold ocean water temperatures
-Snow cover down to the south in unusual locations
-Coastal Storm forming to our east which is the colder side of the storm.
