A winter storm is set to bring significant snowfall and hazardous driving conditions to New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning. Forecasters predict 4 to 6 inches of snow across much of South Jersey, with 2 to 4 inches in Central New Jersey and a light coating to 2 inches in North Jersey.
However, a subsequent storm system arriving from the west Wednesday afternoon is anticipated to drop 1 to 3 inches of snow and sleet in areas north of Interstate 80, accompanied by a dangerous layer of ice through Thursday morning's commute.Initially, the storm was predicted to arrive in far southern New Jersey between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., gradually moving into the south-central region between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. However, a dry layer of air in the lower atmosphere was causing the snow to evaporate before reaching the ground, a phenomenon known as virga. By 4 p.m., light snow was observed in parts of Cape May County, including Wildwood and Cape May. As of 5 p.m., light snow was reported in Atlantic City and Millville. The heaviest bands of moisture in the storm are expected to produce up to 1 inch of snow per hour in South Jersey, with the most intense snowfall anticipated between 6 p.m. and 1 a.m. Central and northern New Jersey, along with the Philadelphia metro area, can expect the heaviest snow between 7 p.m. and midnight.Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories were in effect across the southern half of New Jersey as of Tuesday afternoon. The National Weather Service continues to warn of potential travel disruptions due to heavy snowfall, slick roads, and reduced visibility. Motorists are advised to exercise caution, avoid unnecessary travel, and be prepared for potential delays
