Winter Weather Advisory Issued For Monday Snow, Sleet In NJ

Get ready for some more messy weather. A winter weather advisory is in effect for most of New Jersey – particularly the central, southern and Jersey Shore areas – from 1 to 9 p.m. on Monday.

The National Weather Service says a wintry mix of precipitation is expected. Periods of light freezing rain, sleet and snow are anticipated. A hazardous weather outlook was issued for the most northern areas of the state.

Some school districts still digging out from last week's snow storm actually called for delayed openings already. Read more: New Jersey School Closings/Delays List - 1/8/18
