Zone 5 (Southern NJ) Update: Significant snow through tonight

Regional analysis suggests the development of a coastal storm will continue over the next few hours.

Currently, the juxtaposition of moisture and lift is creating a substantial area of moderate and heavy snow throughout the area.

Increasing lift in the atmosphere will be supported by the developing storm system and the presence of a very notable jet streak in the atmosphere’s upper levels. This will allow precipitation to expand to the northwest of the low pressure area, which will be off the coast of the Mid Atlantic states during the middle part of the day today.
