Update On Snow, Wintry Weather In NJ Holiday Weekend Forecast

NEW JERSEY – The National Weather Service has released more details on the wintry weather that's expected to hit New Jersey this weekend. So it's not too late to adjust your plans if you're planning to travel Sunday.

The NWS has issued a hazardous weather outlook for all of New Jersey, saying the next system could bring a wintry mix of precipitation Sunday morning before changing to rain later in the day. Accumulation numbers have also been released (see below).

The storm originated in the West and wrought havoc for Thanksgiving travelers in the days leading up to the holiday. It will now make its presence felt and bring a new round of travel woes this weekend to those in the northeastern United States, according to AccuWeather.

The storm system from the Midwest is forecast to crawl into the region spanning Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday, according to AccuWeather. This means that motorists venturing along the Interstates 80 and 78 corridors may encounter slippery conditions.

Roads that appear wet may be icy, especially but not limited to bridges, overpasses and areas that are sheltered from direct sunlight, according to AccuWeather.

Some areas will even get some accumulation of snow by Sunday night:

Rain, however, may wash away much of that accumulation before a larger and more potent system is expected to hit the area Monday. Here is what the combined impact of the snow and wintry weather will have Sunday and Monday:
