The Jer­sey Shore is going to get some addi­tional snow Tues­day night into Wednes­day morn­ing.  The National Weather Ser­vice has issued a Win­ter Weather Advi­sory for the Bor­ough from Tues­day at 5pm, through Wednes­day at 5am.  A storm that will bring some snow and ice to the south will approach our area dur­ing the after­noon hours and snow should develop around sun­set on Tues­day.  Cold weather is in place so the snow should be the light, pow­dery vari­ety.  The cur­rent fore­cast calls for a 70 per­cent chance of snow this evening and two to four inches of snow is pos­si­ble dur­ing this storm event; lesser amounts are also possible.

Please exer­cise cau­tion while dri­ving this evening or overnight.  If you have any emer­gency, please dial 9–1-1.  Updated fore­casts are always avail­able for Com­cast cable cus­tomers on Shore TV Chan­nel 2; also fol­low tra­di­tional media out­lets in our region for updates on the forecast.
