NWS snow forecast for Saturday into Sunday morning

After a beautiful sunny Friday afternoon clouds will increase later on as a warm front approaches western New Jersey. The warm front may give us some snow showers this evening.

Then a weak area of low pressure will form along the front early Saturday morning and move into our area. This will give us some light snow early Saturday morning. In southern sections of western New Jersey this should change to light rain showers as warmer air moves in Saturday mid day and early afternoon. Then colder air will filter back into western New Jersey and change any rain over to light snow. This light snow should continue off and on into Sunday morning.

How much are we talking about from both events? 1-3″ with lower amounts to the south and closer to 3″ (or perhaps a little more) in northern and elevated areas.

Yes technically Spring does arrive Monday morning but it certainly won’t feel or look like it. After colder weather on Sunday, there will be a brief warm up on Monday and Tuesday. But that will be followed by another very cold outbreak for Wednesday.
