Winter storm warning in effect for tonight and Monday for snow, sleet and freezing rain!


Skies have become cloudy this morning and temperatures are in the upper teens in the Clifton area with near 10 in the colder suburbs, winds are light.

Today we will have cloudy skies with temperatures a few degrees higher than on Saturday and with light winds it will feel more comfortable.  Light snow or flurries may develop by late this afternoon.

Snow will become heavier late tonight and we should have around 4-8 inches of new snow on the ground by daybreak on Monday.  The snow should mix with sleet and freezing rain during the day on Monday changing back to snow before ending Monday evening, total accumulation will range from 6-10 inches with more accumulation to our north and much less accumulation across Central and Southern New Jersey where the will be more plain rain falling.

Much colder air will move in behind the storm with temperatures dropping to the low teens by Tuesday morning so any slush that is on the ground will freeze.

Dry and very cold on Tuesday..

Not as cold on Wednesday but a cold front moving through will give us a low chance of some snow showers Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

Dry and very cold on Friday with slight moderation in temperatures next weekend.
