Wintry Mix West of Manalapan Monday Night

Manalapan, NJ - Meteorologists are warning drivers about a possible wintry weather mix late Monday evening. The worst of the weather is expected north and west of Manalapan, according to an alert from Weather Works.

The wintry mix would start Monday evening between 6 and 9 p.m. and end by 2 a.m. Tuesday. Precipitation is expected to fall primarily as sleet in scattered showers at the onset, however weather experts are not ruling out a brief shot of snow mixed into that, as the air cools thanks to a cold front moving into the region from Canada.

Precipitation will become steady towards midnight, but rain will quickly mix in.

The main areas for any sleet accumulations will be: Northern Middlesex county, Somerset and perhaps along the northern border of Mercer County. Anyone south of those regions will primarily see rain, meteorologists predict.
