New Winter Storm Targets NJ: See Latest Forecast

NEW JERSEY - The Garden State is still feeling the effects of Monday night’s wintry blast and forecasters are saying Friday is ripe for another impactful storm.

New Jerseyans can expect wind chill in the single digits and teens Wednesday as some residents continue to dig themselves out of the snow. Scores of schools will be operating under a delayed opening due to dangerously icy road conditions.

But Mother Nature isn’t throwing in the towel on wintry storms in the Garden State just yet. After temperatures rise to the high 20s on Thursday, another round of snow is likely.

One to 4 inches are possible Friday around the state, with South Jersey set to feel the greatest impacts starting Friday morning. Monmouth, Atlantic, Camden and Gloucester counties are expected to get the most snow, while Cape May and North Jersey shouldn’t see more than an inch of flurries.

The shore may also “have some questionable temperatures at least Friday morning that may keep the precipitation as rain or wet snow, but just inland should be all snow otherwise,” the National Weather Service said in a statement.

As of 9 a.m. Wednesday, all 21 New Jersey counties are under a hazardous weather outlook through Tuesday due to the incoming storm.

“Snow and/or sleet accumulation may result in significant travel disruptions on Friday,” the agency said.

The new storm will trigger “deicing operations as the snow spreads across the major airport hubs and the smaller regional airports,” according to an AccuWeather report. “Flight cancellations will mount as airlines fall behind schedule and crews and aircraft are displaced.”
