More Snow In Morris, Then Sunny Skies: President's Day Weekend Weather
Snow accumulations and re-freezing could cause slippery conditions on Saturday and Sunday morning, forecasters said.
MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — Another round of snow is set to fall in New Jersey to begin this weekend, with Morris County predicted to get several inches of accumulation before sun is in the forecast for President's Day on Monday.
The Friday night storm will begin about 10 p.m. in North Jersey, and is set to wrap by later Saturday afternoon. The county is under a winter weather advisory until 10 a.m. Saturday, with 2 to 4 inches of snow possible.
“Low pressure passing to the south will cause snow to overspread the region after rush hour tonight,” the National Weather Service said. “Steady snow ends early Saturday morning, but some snow showers may linger into the afternoon.”
