...A COUPLE OF BANDS OF SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT PARTS OF
NORTHERN NEW JERSEY INTO THE OVERNIGHT...

A COLD NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES TO PRODUCE TWO BANDS OF SNOW
ACROSS NORTHERN NEW JERSEY. AS OF 1030 PM, ONE BAND EXTENDED FROM
CLINTON IN HUNTERDON COUNTY SOUTHEAST TOWARD JAMESBURG IN
MIDDLESEX COUNTY. A SECOND BAND WAS OVER CENTRAL WARREN COUNTY
INTO SOUTHWEST MORRIS COUNTY. THE BANDS ARE MOVING TOWARD THE
SOUTHEAST. 
 
WITHIN THE BANDS OF SNOW, THE VISIBILITY WILL BECOME RAPIDLY
REDUCED OVER A SHORT DISTANCE AT TIMES. GIVEN THE RATHER COLD AND
DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE, A QUICK COATING TO HALF AN INCH WILL OCCUR
IN THE MOST PERSISTENT SNOW.

THE SNOW WILL CREATE SLIPPERY CONDITIONS ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS,
ESPECIALLY BRIDGES AND OTHER ELEVATED SURFACES. USE CAUTION IF YOU
MUST TRAVEL INTO OR THROUGH THESE BANDS OF SNOW, AND BE PREPARED
FOR RAPIDLY CHANGING ROAD AND WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER SHORT
DISTANCES.
