NJ weather: A foot of snow, multiple nor’easters incoming
The claws will come out again on Tuesday morning — the first day of spring — when the first of two back-to-back nor’easters begins to whip south Jersey with winds and a wintry mix just in time for rush hour. The impacts will make their way north up the coast, putting all of Monmouth and Ocean counties under grey skies by mid-afternoon.
However, it is overnight into Wednesday when the potential forms for a truly disruptive nor’easter to brush the Shore, bringing perhaps 16 inches of heavy, wet snow to some parts, according to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly.
Wednesday afternoon through the end-of-the-day commute looks to be when the heaviest snow will fall.
“The snow that does fall is going to have a lot of liquid in it, as in the past three storms,” said Lance Franck, a meteorologist at the Mount Holly office, this morning. “That is certainly going to contribute to more downed trees and power lines, so we are expecting more power outages and that could be a significant number given the potential of snow.”
