Here is what is expected for the Sunday-Monday system, from the NJ Office of Emergency Management:

• Northwestern NJ snow is forecast to start around 1 p.m. Sunday, ending by 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. Monday. Rain may fall in some locations between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday.
• Northeastern NJ snow is forecast to start around 6 p.m. Sunday, ending by 6 a.m. Monday. Rain is forecast between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday.
• Central NJ snow is forecast to start around 1 p.m. Sunday, ending by 6 a.m. Monday for inland counties.
• Snow is forecast to start around 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, then again from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday, for coastal counties. Rain is forecast between 1 p.m. Sunday and 6 a.m. Monday.
• Southwestern NJ snow is forecast to start around 7 p.m. Sunday, ending by 6 a.m. Monday. Rain is forecast between 1 p.m. Sunday and 3 a.m. Monday.
• Southeastern NJ snow is forecast to start around 4 a.m. Monday, ending by 6 a.m. Monday. Rain is forecast from 1 p.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Monday.
• Snow will mix with sleet at times for most locations statewide. The current forecast as of Saturday is: northwestern NJ: 5" to 10" of snow and sleet; northeastern NJ: 4" to 8" of snow and sleet; inland central: 2" to 5" of snow and sleet; coastal central: 1" to 3" of snow and sleet, possibly up to 1" of rain; southwestern NJ: 1" to 3" of snow and sleet, possibly up to 1" of rain southeastern NJ: 0" to 1", about 1" of rain
• There is potential for some minor spotty flooding associated with the Monday morning high tide along the southeast coast. In southern counties, if more rain than snow falls, there could be localized ponding and minor flooding, including small creeks and streams, low-lying places, roadways, and areas with poor drainage.
• The actual storm track will determine precipitation types and amounts as well as the location of the rain/snow line. We could see snow totals increase or decrease in the forecast by Sunday morning, but we do anticipate accumulations over 5" in northern counties, especially northwestern NJ.
• If forecast totals include amounts 6" or above for northern counties, we should see the winter storm watch change to a winter storm warning by Sunday morning. We may see an advisory posted for at least southeastern coastal waters, if not the Atlantic coast and Delaware Bay, for minor coastal flooding, small craft advisory, and/or a gale warning, depending on the actual track of the storm and coastal wind forecasts.
