Full Notification

• A strong coastal storm system is still expected to impact the region starting Wednesday night & continuing into Thursday.
• Heavy snow, sleet, and coastal flooding are all threats from this storm.
• 10+ inches of snow are expected where the heaviest snow band sets up. Much of the region will see at least some snow. Snow will start Wednesday evening, generally AFTER the Wednesday afternoon/evening commute. Watches and warnings have been posted.
• Icing due to freezing rain no longer appears to be a major threat from this event. However, heavy wet snow will cling to trees and wires.
• Strong winds will be an issue with this event as the storm intensifies along the coast. Gusts up to 40 mph are possible along the coast, with gusts in the 20 to 30 mph range inland from late Wednesday night through most of Thursday. This will cause added stress to power lines and tree limbs covered with heavy snow.
• Minor coastal flooding is likely and moderate coastal flooding is possible with this storm along the Atlantic coast, as well as in the Delaware Bay & Raritan Bay. The high tides to watch are both high tides on Thursday, as well as the morning high tide on Friday. Significant rainfall along the coast may worsen the coastal flooding impacts.
