The Bottom Line

There is no denying now that this is going to be a significant winter storm. All model guidance and all analysis is now firmly pointing to one solution — a powerful nor'easter driving big snow through approximately the northern half of New Jersey. The only question is how far into double-digits those snow totals will grow.

South Jersey, you don't get off scot-free here, with some accumulating snow, accompanied by sloppy icy mix.

On top of an extended 48-hour period of wintry precipitation, please do not ignore or dismiss the fierce 40-50 mph wind gusts. Power outages and near-blizzard low visibility conditions are likely. Moderate coastal flooding is also expected through several high tide cycles in a row.

Unless something changes dramatically as the storm begins, this will be my "final call" snow forecast. (We will, of course, continuously nowcast the storm both on-air and online, until the final flakes fly.) I spent way too much time putting together the following county-by-county breakdown of how the storm is expected to play out. Hopefully this information helps you stay safe, warm, and happy for the duration of this nasty nor'easter.

Atlantic County

—Phase 1 (Sunday Afternoon)... Light snow fills in Sunday afternoon, with an inch or two of accumulation possible by Sunday night.
—Phase 2 (Sunday PM-Monday AM)... After Midnight, snow will change to wintry mix and then likely all rain. The wet weather will likely continue through most of Monday, especially along the immediate coast.
—Phase 3 (Monday)... Mainly rain/sleet along the coast. Mainly sleet/snow west of the Parkway. Precipitation will become heavier, with generally sloppy weather throughout the day. Whether icy or wet, roads will become slippery. Fierce wind gusts could cause power outages, cause driving/walking difficulties, and just generally make for an unpleasant and blustery day. Coastal flooding will also become a big concern during both high tide cycles on Monday.
—Phase 4 (Monday PM-Tuesday)... Northerly winds on the back side of the nor'easter may cause a flip back to all snow for everyone, even the immediate coast. Additional light accumulations are possible. As the storm system shoves out to sea, precipitation will taper off from west to east around Tuesday midday. The wind will lighten up too, although the tidal flooding picture will remain precarious during both of Tuesday's high tide cycles.
—Total Snowfall... 1" (Coast) to 4" (Inland)
—Wind Gusts... 50 mph, blowing out of the northeast, peaking during the day Monday
—Coastal Flooding... 2 to 3 feet of storm surge will cause several rounds of moderate flooding at high tide on Monday and Tuesday. Tide levels may approach major flood stage. Back bays will be particularly vulnerable to water inundation issues, as they'll have little opportunity to fully drain between crests.
—Winter Weather Advisory... 10 a.m. Sunday to 10 a.m. Tuesday
—Coastal Flood Warning... from 7 a.m. Monday to 5 p.m. Tuesday

Bergen County

—Phase 1 (Sunday Afternoon)... Scattered light snow pushes in Sunday night. It will start sticking to the cold ground immediately.
—Phase 2 (Sunday PM-Monday AM)... Somewhat heavier bands of snow are possible overnight, with slow accumulation continuing.
—Phase 3 (Monday)... The brunt of the storm. Bands of very heavy snow are expected, with snowfall rates possibly exceeding 2" per hour. Strong winds will cause blowing and drifting snow, with near-blizzard conditions possible. Snow will continue accumulating quickly throughout the daytime hours, with road conditions getting progressively worse
—Phase 4 (Monday PM-Tuesday)... Moderate to heavy snowfall may continue for a while Monday evening, before things finally dial back after Midnight. As the storm system pulls farther and farther out to sea, snow will slowly taper off through Tuesday afternoon. Additional light accumulations are possible.
—Total Snowfall... 10" to 18"
—Wind Gusts... 50 mph, blowing out of the northeast, peaking during the day Monday

Hey, Thanks for Scrolling Down This Far!

I truly hope my forecast has given you enough information to plan ahead and make decisions to keep you and your family safe.

I will be on the radio and on social media Sunday with additional updates and insight. I may or may not publish a weather blog update Sunday afternoon, depending on how the storm continues to develop. I'll definitely be in the weather center all day Monday, with the latest snow, sleet, ice, rain, wind, and coastal flooding updates.

Until then, I offer my usual reminder... Stay smart, and be safe. Enjoy the snow!
