Special Weather Statement issued February 12 at 10:50PM EST by NWS Mount Holly NJ
Areas Affected: Morris; Burlington; Monmouth; Ocean; Warren; Hunterdon; Mercer; Somerset; Sussex; Monroe; Carbon; Northampton; Middlesex
Icy spots will continue tonight across northeastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey, where a wintry mix had occurred on Sunday. Farther south across central New Jersey and the southeastern Pennsylvania, especially the suburbs to the north and west suburbs of Philadelphia, any moisture on untreated roads that was left over from the rain that fell, will likely freeze late this evening as temperatures drop below freezing.
Temperatures will likely rise above freezing briefly overnight across most of the region as winds pick up behind a frontal passage.
However, a re-freeze is expected during the early morning once the colder air arrives from northwest to southeast. Icy patches of
black ice may lead to slippery travel for the morning commute.
Use caution if traveling tonight. Secondary roads, bridges, and
overpasses are the most prone to becoming icy. Reduce speed and
keep a safe following distance when driving in case you encounter
icy conditions.
