It’s blue skies, why the weather advisory? A couple of reasons: 1) there can be some snow showers today that can leave anywhere from a coating to an inch or two and b) the strong winds of today that will cause blowing and drifting of the snow resulting in reduced visibility.

The NWS sees the westward shift of the precipitation shield and has issued a Winter Weather advisory for Hunterdon and Morris counties. Their forecast for these areas is now 2-4″. I agree with that and think the 2″ will be the the north and west with the 4″ mark in the south and east sections.

Well it finally looks and feels like December! Here are some reasons this will NOT be a big snow producer for western New Jersey:
1. A warm front is approaching the area. This means once the front passes, we will get warm and the frozen precipitation will turn to rain eventually
2. The main storm system is going to go to our north and west, meaning we will be on the “warm” side of the storm
3. There is no cold high pressure to our north pumping in colder air
NWS expected snow fall
With the above in mind this is what will happen in western New Jersey. Periods of light snow will overspread the area this afternoon. This could start as early as mid day in some part of the area but most of that should stay to our west. We could see a coating on the ground from this.
Then there will be a break in the precipitation until the storm get closer to our area. The precipitation should resume mid to late evening and continue overnight.
I expect light snow to mix with sleet and freezing rain before eventually changing to plain rain by Monday morning. This transition will happen faster in southern and lower elevation areas. Areas further north and more elevated areas will see the transition take longer.
In southern warren county, central and southern hunterdon counties I expect a coating to 1″ of snow before changing over to mix then rain. North of that area up to and perhaps just a little bit further north of I-80 I can see 1-3″ of light snow. North of that has the potential for 3-6″ before the changeover.
There could be some light ice buildup during the changeover period so be aware of that.
The Monday morning commute will need some extra travel time so please allow for it.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather advisory starting at 1 pm today lasting into tomorrow.
The NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory (below) for western New Jersey for this afternoon and overnight. The first round of precipitation is arriving with the air, mostly aloft, cold enough for wintry weather.
I’m not expecting too much with this system, especially in southern areas, as the air temperature will be above freezing most of the time. Look for a slushy accumulation mostly on non paved and non treated surfaces. Slightly more could accumulate further to the north.
Later on Wednesday into early Thursday morning look for more important rain and windy conditions then colder as we go into the weekend.

There’s a chance that some of the rain may arrive while the temperature is near freezing in some northern locations of western New Jersey. As a result the National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory just in case. I expect this to be primarily in northern areas around and north of interstate 80.
