South Brunswick Office of Emergency Management
MAJOR WINTER STORM THIS WEEKEND
Friday afternoon update:
What Has Changed: The Winter Storm Watch was upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning for the entire region. Snow amounts have continued to trend down slightly. Sleet and freezing rain amounts have trended higher for the I-95 corridor. This increases the chances of power outages.
FORECAST:
Widespread snow and sleet totals ranging from 10-12’ are expected. Snowfall rates near 1-2” per hour are possible during the daytime period on Sunday.
A transition to a wintry mix of sleet and/or freezing rain will occur from south to north inland into the I-95 corridor, and potentially as far north as the I-78 corridor, starting Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening.
There remains a threat for notable ice accumulations ranging from 0.1” to 0.3” across the I-95 corridor, southern New Jersey, and northern Delmarva.
The combination of heavy snow followed by sleet/freezing rain and breezy northeast winds gusting 20-30 mph could result in some isolated instances of downed trees and power lines, and power outages
IMPACTS:
- Sunday’s road conditions will be hazardous. Widespread road closures expected.
- Monday's road conditions will be very difficult with plow crews working to open up streets.
- Power outages are possible if widespread icing occurs.
