...BLIZZARD WARNING CONTINUES IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ MAINTAINS A BLIZZARD
WARNING FOR NORTHERN NEW JERSEY THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. TOTAL SNOW 
ACCUMULATIONS OF 10 TO 16 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED FOR THE REGION BY
ABOUT NOON...WITH LOWER AMOUNTS IN THE RANGE OF 6 TO 12 INCHES FOR
INTERIOR OCEAN COUNTY AND 4 TO 8 INCHES FOR COASTAL OCEAN COUNTY. 
HOWEVER...AS NORTH WINDS INCREASE THIS MORNING TO 20 TO 30 MPH WITH
GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH...BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW IS LIKELY. AS A
CONSEQUENCE, VISIBILITIES WILL DROP TO ONE-QUARTER MILE OR LESS IN
SOME LOCATIONS, AND SO THE BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR
NORTHERN NEW JERSEY.

EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS EXIST AROUND THE REGION AND 
ALL UNNECESSARY TRAVEL IS DISCOURAGED SUNDAY MORNING. ACTING 
GOVERNOR CODEY HAS DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY ORDERING A 
RESTRICTION OF ALL NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL ON ALL STATE AND INTERSTATE 
HIGHWAYS IN NEW JERSEY UNTIL 8 AM SUNDAY.  

LOW PRESSURE OFF THE NEW JERSEY COAST AT 4 AM WILL INTENSIFY AS IT
MOVES NORTHEAST TO NEW ENGLAND LATER TODAY. THE COUNTERCLOCKWISE
CIRCULATION AROUND THIS LOW WILL WRAP PRECIPITATION BACK OVER THE
REGION THIS MORNING AS IT MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA. THIS WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE WILL PRODUCE THE ADDITIONAL SNOW EXPECTED THIS MORNING. 

ANOTHER FACTOR WILL BE THE VERY LOW WIND CHILLS. AS WINDS INCREASE
THIS MORNING, WIND CHILL VALUES WILL RANGE BETWEEN 10 BELOW ZERO AND
10 ABOVE ZERO. EVEN COLDER WIND CHILL VALUES ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT
WHEN A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED.

PEOPLE WHO FIND IT NECESSARY TO VENTURE OUTSIDE SHOULD WEAR MULTIPLE
LAYERS OF CLOTHING, GLOVES AND A HAT. LIMIT OUTDOOR TIME TO A
MINIMUM. PETS WHO ARE KEPT OUTDOORS WILL REQUIRE, AT A MINIMUM, A
STRONG AND WELL INSULATED SHELTER TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE COLD, WIND
AND SNOW, AS WELL AS ACCESS TO PLENTY OF UNFROZEN WATER. 

A BLIZZARD WARNING IS ISSUED WHEN SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS OR FREQUENT
GUSTS OF OVER 35 MPH ARE EXPECTED WITH CONSIDERABLE FALLING AND/OR
BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. VISIBILITIES WILL BECOME POOR, WITH
WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AT TIMES. THOSE VENTURING OUTDOORS MAY BECOME
LOST OR DISORIENTED, SO PERSONS IN THE WARNING AREA ARE ADVISED TO
STAY INDOORS.
