N.J. weather: Snow chances increase for tricky weekend storm with up to 6 inches in initial forecast
Key Points:
- A coastal winter storm expected to begin Sunday could bring widespread snowfall of 2 to 6 inches across most of New Jersey, with up to 6 inches possible in some areas, according to the National Weather Service.
- Forecast uncertainty remains due to variability in the storm’s track and intensity, with a coastal path likely to produce higher snowfall and a southeastern track resulting in lighter precipitation.
- The probability of at least 2 inches of snow is estimated at 60-80%, while chances for 6 inches or more range from 25-45%.
- Snowfall will start Sunday morning, intensify through Sunday night, and taper off by Monday night, accompanied by gusty winds and potential coastal flooding along the Jersey Shore.
