A winter weather advisory has been issued for the western half of New Jersey. On Tuesday, from 7 a.m. through 3 p.m., wintry weather could have a limited impact on travel. Snow accumulations up to 1 inch and an ice accrual of up to one-tenth of an inch could make roads, sidewalks, driveways and steps quite slippery.

The weather this week looks challenging and gloomy. There are more opportunities for wet weather than there are for sunshine. The temperatures for Monday night and Tuesday are slightly below seasonable. This will allow for the chance for wintry weather to prevail.

This storm isn't major, but impacts can be noticeable Tuesday morning from 7 a.m. to noon, with a light slushy accumulation of ice and snow from Interstate 78 and points north. This will be brief as it changes over to rain after noon. The plain rain continues throughout Tuesday, moderate at times at night. The rain continues until about 8 a.m. on Wednesday.

The middle of the week is looking unsettled but seasonable and trending on the milder side. Normally afternoon temperatures warm to the upper 40s after morning lows bottomed out around the freezing mark. Wednesday and Thursday are looking quite normal for early March. The weather will likely be overcast. Maybe a hint of a brightening sky, but clouds and a chance for damp or wet weather will prevail.

Temperatures surge by the weekend to the upper 50s and even the upper 60s. Some spots may make a run for near 70 on Sunday. There might be some very brief pokes of sun early on Sunday, but it looks like rain and maybe a few thunderstorms will interfere with this spring-like day.
