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.
