New Jersey pummeled by first major snowfall of 2024, more wintry weather expected
One New Jersey town was pummeled Saturday by more than 13 inches of snow. Several counties saw between 6 to 12 inches blanket sidewalks and streets. And dozens of other areas barely reported an inch, reports from the National Weather Service indicated.
The Garden State’s first major snowfall of 2024 hit hardest in the northwestern part of the state — with parts of Central and South Jersey seeing mostly wet snow, sleet and rain over the cold weekend.
As of Sunday evening, the storm had mainly passed, but a hazardous weather outlook for the inland parts of Ocean County remained in effect until Sunday night.
Meteorologists have now turned their attention to another storm, which could bring between 2 to 3 inches of rain to parts of New Jersey.
The latest forecast for Tuesday’s storm includes possible significant flooding from both rain and melting snow, minor coastal flooding and heavy winds following Saturday’s storm, the NWS said Sunday afternoon.
In its own update Sunday at 2:46 p.m., AccuWeather senior meteorologist Dan Pydynowski, said “the most notable impact from the upcoming storm will be high winds and flooding rainfall.”
