WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
A blizzard warning and a winter storm warning have has been issued across New Jersey.
A coastal flood watch will be in effect for Sunday afternoon through late evening for parts of Middlesex and Monmouth counties.
There is a potential for 9 to 12 inches of snow in Northwest New Jersey and 12 to 18 inches closer to the Jersey Shore, with higher totals possible.
The snow showers are likely to start Sunday evening and increase in intensity overnight, with up to 1-3" per hour snowfall rates. This will make travel dangerous to impossible. Snow tapers off throughout Monday. Temperatures on Sunday will barely escape the 30s and stay in the low 30s Sunday night. Aside from the snow, strong winds are in store with this strong pressure gradient. Winds starting Sunday night could peak 35-plus mph with 55 mph gusts Sunday night into early Monday.
Another impact worth mentioning is the strong likelihood for coastal flooding, especially around high tide on Sunday night as there will be a significant east/northeast wind flow with this low.
