Snow, Rain In Wayne: How Much Will Fall, When Will It Stop?

WAYNE, NJ — A wet and ugly morning could lead to more snow into Wednesday evening in Wayne, according to the National Weather Service.

On Tuesday night, the National Weather Service predicted 2-4 inches of snow in Passaic County, with snow- and slush-covered roads impacting the morning and evening commutes in some areas. But the agency has since reduced its snowfall predictions in the Wayne area, expecting less than an inch to accumulate during the day and less than half an inch Wednesday evening.

Only two Passaic County school districts let the weather impact their Wednesday schedules, with Ringwood dismissing early and West Milford opening late, according to nj.com.

No disruptive accidents or major delays have been reported on major roads or highways in Passaic County as of 10:30 a.m., according to 511nj.org.

Officials implemented a speed advisory on the Garden State Parkway at 10:25 a.m. Wednesday in Bergen County. The 50 mph advisory runs from the Pascack Valley Toll Plaza in Washington Township to the New York State Line that borders Montvale, with salting in progress.

Forecasters expect clearer weather Thursday.
