Wayne Holiday Forecast: See Snow Chances, Predicted Temperatures

WAYNE, NJ — Some snow is possible in Wayne on Tuesday morning as a Christmas Eve storm moves in, which could spell trouble for travelers as they hit the road or arrive at the airport.

A clipper system rolling into the Northeast will bring gusty winds, freezing rain, and snow showers to most of New Jersey, forecasters said. Temperatures in Wayne and other parts of North Jersey should remain low enough to prevent the snow from turning into freezing rain, according to the latest forecast.

"If you plan to travel (Tuesday) morning, plan for some extra time to reach your destination," the National Weather Service advised. "Temperatures will warm above freezing into the afternoon, which should help alleviate any slippery road conditions into the afternoon hours."

Wayne Township is predicted to get the bulk of snowfall before 10 a.m. on Tuesday, with accumulations of less than one inch.

Most of the state could see a light dusting of snow up to 1 inch, but you shouldn't really expect any accumulations, forecasters say. The storm will advance offshore throughout the day Tuesday, and temperatures will be in the 20s overnight.

Christmas Day will be mostly sunny, with a high near 34.

Here is the forecast through Thursday for Wayne Township, from the National Weather Service:

Monday night: A 30 percent chance of snow after 4am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 19. Light south wind.
