Slippery Roads Expected As Snow Falls Across NJ

NEW JERSEY —Drivers heading out should take extra care on Thursday as falling snow could bring the possibility for slippery roads in New Jersey.

"Watch for a bit of snow through midday, especially [northwest] of I-95 - roads are cold now, and any pavement accumulations can cause slippery roads," according to US National Weather Service Philadelphia/Mount Holly(NWS).

While most of the Garden State is expected to see flurries, accumulations will likely stay less than an inch.

Colder temperatures will warm up as the day progresses rising to above freezing after any snow ends in the early afternoon, according to NWS.

As of Thursday morning, some snow showers are already falling in Lehigh Valley, the Poconos and into Central Jersey.

"Snow will eventually make its way into New Jersey. Take it slow out there if you encounter any snow!" said NWS.
