Mount Holly, New Jersey – A coastal low is expected to pass south of the region Sunday into early Monday, bringing steady rain to southern New Jersey and Delmarva while areas north of I-95 could see wet snow.
According to the National Weather Service in Philadelphia/Mount Holly, precipitation will overspread the region late Sunday and continue into early Monday. The exact storm track remains uncertain, which will determine how far north snow may develop.
Forecasters indicate the highest rainfall totals are likely across the southern coastal plain, including Cape May, Atlantic City and areas along the Garden State Parkway and U.S. Route 9. Rain probabilities in southern zones range from 60% to 75%.
Further north, including parts of eastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey near Interstate 95, marginal temperatures may allow for a rain-to-snow mix. Current projections show a 15% to 25% chance of at least 1 inch of wet snow in these northern fringe areas.
Snowfall amounts, if any, remain uncertain and will depend on surface temperatures and the storm’s final path.
Travel along I-95, the Atlantic City Expressway and the Garden State Parkway could be slowed at times Sunday night, especially where heavier precipitation develops.
Commuters and students returning Monday morning should monitor forecast updates, as changing temperatures may affect road conditions in northern communities.
The National Weather Service advises residents to check back for refinements as confidence increases in the storm’s track and precipitation type.
