The Record
A heavy snowstorm is expected to hammer North Jersey on Saturday, with weather forecasters predicting between 6 and 10 inches throughout the afternoon and freezing rain topping it off at night.
Holiday shoppers and travelers will face hazardous conditions as the snowfall quickly sticks to cold roadways, said Joe Pollina, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Conditions should improve by Sunday morning as temperatures rise from the 20s to the mid-30s and the system tracks from Long Island into the Atlantic Ocean, he said.
The snow may not stay on the ground long. Weather forecasts for next week, the final week of autumn, show mild conditions with temperatures hitting close to 50 in some areas, Pollina said.
“This event definitely does not guarantee a white Christmas,” said David Robinson, state climatologist.
Light flurries will fall across the northeast beginning about 7 a.m. and pile up from 6 to 8 inches in most of Bergen County, to 8 to 10 inches in western Bergen and Passaic counties. The snow should taper off by the evening, only to be replaced by a mixture of sleet and freezing rain about 10 p.m.
