A winter weather advisory has been issued for North Jersey, Central Jersey and Jersey Shore The rest of the state is under a hazardous weather outlook; less than 2 inches is expected in South Jersey and the southern part of the Jersey Shore. Here are the alerted areas:

Either way, the Tuesday morning commute will be adversely affected, as snow will likely keep falling through sunrise. Plan on slippery road conditions, especially on untreated surfaces and especially during the morning commute Tuesday. Also, be prepared for reduced visibilities at times.

Here are the latest snow estimates:

Joe Miketta, a National Weather Service meteorologist, said the only question is how strong the storm will be. Since it's tracking westward, he expects estimated snow totals could rise throughout the day.

The National Weather Service offered two possible scenarios. Parts of the state could get no more than 1 inch if the storm pushes back out to sea. If the trend continues, however, parts of the state could get as many as 8 inches.

Scattered snow squalls are also expected to move southeast through New Jersey Wednesday, especially during the afternoon, that could deposit a quick 1/2 inch to 1 inch of snow, making stretches of pavement very slippery as temperatures briefly fall to near-freezing in the squalls, according to the NWS

Additionally, visibility could be briefly but sharply reduced to a quarter-mile in some spots, so be on alert for suddenly changing travel conditions Wednesday.

AccuWeather says the storm is expected to rapidly strengthen on Tuesday, potentially becoming a "bomb cyclone" — a storm that resembles a hurricane but is much less powerful.

While the strongest and most damaging winds are predicted to remain offshore, the storm could still track close enough to threaten the coast with gusty winds and coastal flooding while spreading disruptive snow from the southern mid-Atlantic to New England, according to AccuWeather.

As the snow spreads across the southern mid-Atlantic Monday, winds will increase along the coast from North Carolina to New Jersey, according to AccuWeather. Minor coastal flooding may result at high tide.

Here is the forecast:

• Tuesday: Snow likely before noon, then a chance of rain showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 46. Northwest wind 13 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.
• Tuesday night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 28. West wind around 10 mph.
• Wednesday: Scattered snow showers before 1pm, then scattered rain showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 41. West wind 11 to 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
