Roads Clear Following Midweek Snowfall

Local roads are clear ahead of the morning commute today, and while warming temperatures should melt away the rest of yesterday's dusting shortly, there are more flakes in the forecast.

Barnegat's main roads and residential streets are snow- and slush-free as of 6 a.m., and even dry in many places, though isolated patches of black ice remain in a few spots. No adverse conditions or weather-related delays are reported on New Jersey's main arteries, including the Garden State Parkway.

Drivers may want to leave a little extra time before heading out to work today, however, as melted and re-frozen snow could make car clearing more of a chore than usual. Don't forget that removing snow and ice from your car before driving is now state law.

We haven't seen the last of the winter weather this week. According to the National Weather Service, there's a 40 percent chance of precipitation tomorrow, and with temperatures hovering around freezing, some of that can be expected to fall as snow. A mix of rain and snow could fall Saturday, say forecasters, and Sunday should be mostly sunny with highs just above freezing.

Here's the breakdown, according to the NWS's Mout Holly Station:

• Friday night: A chance of rain before 4 a.m., then a chance of rain and snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 32. West wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40 percent. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

• Saturday: A chance of snow before 9 a.m., then a chance of rain and snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 36. Breezy, with a northwest wind 9 to 12 mph increasing to between 19 and 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40 percent. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

• Saturday night: A slight chance of snow before midnight. Mostly cloudy and blustery, with a low around 19. Chance of precipitation is 20 percent.

• Sunday: Mostly sunny and breezy, with a high near 35.
