Winter Weather Update⛄️

The New Jersey Office of Emergency Management is currently working with our partners at the National Weather Service to monitor two winter storm systems that will impact the New Jersey area beginning tomorrow.
For Thursday night into Friday, some accumulating snow is expected with the highest amounts in northwestern New Jersey. Hazardous travel is possible and there could be a higher impact on the Friday morning commute. A Winter Weather Advisory may be needed for at least parts of the region.

For Saturday and Sunday, a significant winter storm moves across our region, however the details including precipitation types and impacts are still uncertain. Stay tuned to your local weather for updates.

✅Here are a few safety tips!

📻Be sure to check your local weather to stay informed!
