Snow, Wind, Rain Continue Tuesday In NJ: See Nor'Easter Timeline

NEW JERSEY — Wet weather will turn windy as the latest winter storm moves into New Jersey, bringing a risk of power outages and downed trees Tuesday into Wednesday.

Snow totals have lowered around North Jersey, where five counties were placed under a state of emergency Monday night, but there’s still a chance residents of these counties will see enough snow to make travel difficult.

The storm has caused flight delays and cancellations at both LaGuardia and Newark airports, according to FlightAware.

Forecasters are still calling for up to 10 inches total along the I-80 corridor by the end of the day Tuesday, and about two inches in portions of the I-78 corridor.

Sussex County is still under a winter storm warning until 6 p.m. Tuesday evening with four to eight inches of snow expected, and more at higher elevations; Warren and Morris counties have dropped to a winter weather advisory.

Some snow showers are still possible in the Philadelphia metro area and parts of southern New Jersey on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

The main concern Tuesday into Wednesday will be strong winds, which could blow down trees and cause power outages, said AccuWeather. Northwest winds will be about 20-30 miles per hour, but gusts of 40-50 miles per hour are possible across the state.

A wind advisory is in effect for central and southern New Jersey.

By this afternoon, according to the NWS, “These winds will help wrap in colder air behind the storm, especially aloft, meaning wrap around precip should become mainly snow/snow showers except near the coast. That said, south of the I-78 corridor the fact that the precip will be light and surface temperatures above freezing will limit any snow accumulation to at most a coating to half inch."

Gale force winds with gusts of 35-45 knots on the NJ/DE Atlantic Coast and the Delaware Bay are expected Tuesday into Wednesday, added the NWS. Coastal flooding will also be a concern, AccuWeather forecasters say, with a coastal flood advisory issued.
