NJ Weather: Snow Forecast Updated Ahead Of Super Bowl Sunday

NEW JERSEY - Following a taste of spring-like weather on Saturday, most of the Garden State will see at least an inch of snow in time for game day on Sunday, forecasters say.

Near-record setting temperatures ranging from high 50s to low 60s are expected across the state Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. However, temperatures will plummet into the low 20s and teens overnight into Sunday.

Forecasters predict between 1 to 2 inches of snow in the south and parts of central New Jersey, while most northern counties will likely see less than an inch of accumulation (save for Bergen, Passaic, Union, Hudson and Essex counties, which are expected to see 1 to 2 inches).

1 to 3 inches are expected south of I-95 per AccuWeather, with meteorologists warning of icy untreated roads, frozen wet surfaces and travel disruptions Sunday night into Monday morning.

“Whether a location picks up a coating of snow with wet roads or a few inches of snow and slush, localized icy conditions can develop Sunday night and may linger into the Monday morning commute,” AccuWeather said.

The snowfall should end Sunday evening, but cold temperatures may last in the 30s through Tuesday.

Here’s the latest forecast:

Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 60. West wind 10 to 15 mph.

Saturday Night: A slight chance of rain before 10 p.m., then snow likely after 1 a.m. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 31. North wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60 percent. New snow accumulation of less than one inch is possible.
