Winter Weather Advisory In 4 NJ Counties

A winter weather advisory was issued for four counties in New Jersey this weekend, according to the National Weather Service. The entire state is expected to be impacted by a storm that's supposed to arrive overnight.

The National Weather Service says snow and sleet will move in from west to east after midnight on Sunday morning before changing to sleet and freezing rain.

A change to all rain is expected by later Sunday morning before the precipitation winds down. The snow and ice may create very slippery road conditions overnight and on Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

The winter weather advisory was issued for Morris, Sussex, Passaic and Warren counties. The rest of the state is expected to get heavy rain.

Here are the alerted areas:

The rain and snow are expected to be heaviest between 1 and 7 a.m. on Sunday. Flooding in low-lying areas is possible.

Gusty winds whipping from the midwestern to the northeastern United States through Sunday will threaten to cause travel disruptions and damage in some communities, AccuWeather said.

The impact on New Jersey will largely come in the form of rain, wind and snow.
