New Jersey Braces for Snow and Cold

New Jersey is bracing for a winter weather event as the last full day of autumn brings a mix of rain and snow. Light rain is expected to transition to snow overnight, particularly affecting northern areas where accumulations could reach up to 2-4 inches, while southern regions may see minimal accumulation. By Saturday, temperatures will plummet, with highs struggling to reach freezing and lows dipping into the teens, marking a significant drop from typical December weather. The National Weather Service has indicated that conditions may vary, leading to uncertainty in snowfall predictions, especially around urban areas like New York City. Residents are advised to prepare for slippery travel conditions and dangerously cold temperatures over the weekend. Clear skies are anticipated by Saturday night, but frigid conditions will persist into Sunday, with highs remaining well below freezing.
