The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Borough and Cape May County. The Advisory is in effect from Monday, January 8th, at 4:00pm until Midnight. The Advisory calls for the potential of snow, freezing rain, sleet, and rain to mix during a brief period of time on Monday evening.

A warm front is expected to come through our region late in the day on Monday. While the front moves through, there could be some light, wintry precipitation. This may cause some freezing precipitation, which could make driving slippery during the evening hours on Monday. No significant snow accumulation is expected. Some icing of roadways and sidewalks could occur. Exercise caution while driving Monday evening

Warmer temperatures enter our forecast Tuesday through next weekend, which will melt some snow and ice.
