A developing storm will move toward and track south of New Jersey late Tuesday into Wednesday.
Cold air overhead will ensure an all-snow event, even at the coast. The speed of the storm could cut into how much collects, but I do see a pretty impactful storm for those of you who live along and south of Route 72.
Winter weather advisories have been issued for Mercer and Middlesex counties on southward. A winter storm warning, where the storm will potentially be at its worst, has been issued for Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland counties. It's possible up to 6 to 8 inches of snow could collect along and south of the Atlantic City expressway.
This is the first in a series of systems that cruise through the area. This round of wintry weather will exit by 6 a.m. on Wednesday. I'd expect some South Jersey school districts to be on a delayed opening or close altogether.
Wednesday will remain cloudy and a second storm on the heels of the first will be sling-shot across the North East. This second storm brings a brief round of wintry weather in central and northern areas before eventually tapering to mainly rain. Accumulations will be on the lighter side, but as has been the history with the storms this winter, we can expect snow to change over to sleet and then freezing rain. Untreated surfaces could have an icy accrual by Thursday morning.
Thirdly - Saturday's system. This looks to be all rain as the storm tracks inland and the precipitation falls mainly during the day with temps in the low- to mid-40s.
