Winter Weather Advisory Issued In Parts Of NJ: Latest Forecast

NEW JERSEY — A Winter Weather Advisory is in store for North Jersey as freezing rain Friday night into Saturday could make for icy travel conditions, forecasters say.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Morris, Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon and Somerset counties starting 7 p.m. Friday through 9 a.m. Saturday. Another advisory in Passaic, Bergen, western Essex and western Union counties begins at 9 p.m. Friday through 9 a.m. Saturday.

Freezing rain could bring at least a light glaze of ice to the area, if not more, forecasters warn.

"Be prepared for slippery roads," National Weather Service forecasters said. "Slow down and use caution while driving."

If you go outside, pay attention to your first step. Surfaces may be icy and slippery, and you could fall and hurt yourself.

"Even a thin glaze of ice that is patchy and not widespread can be dangerous for motorists and pedestrians," AccuWeather forecasters warn. "Surfaces may appear wet but can have a thin sheet of clear ice instead."

The rest of the state should just see plain rain. Then, there will be widespread periods of rain throughout the weekend.
