In a thrilling turn of events, South Jersey might just witness its first significant snowfall since the frosty days of 2022. The National Weather Service is teasing the possibility of a weekend snowstorm, following a few playful flurries earlier in the week.
Hold onto your snow boots, as the NWS suggests we could be in for a winter treat, with a potential 3 to 4 inches of snow blanketing some lucky areas. But don’t grab the sled just yet – a few spots might just experience a rain dance instead.
The meteorological crystal ball will be at its clearest on Thursday, providing a sneak peek into the impact of the impending storm. Regardless of the outcome, the NWS advises South Jersey residents to gear up for any winter scenario, as the storm is set to make its grand entrance on Saturday evening, swirling through the region until Sunday morning.
Let’s take a closer look at the Snow Symphony forecasted for South Jersey:
Burlington County: Snowflakes on the Horizon
Residents in parts of Burlington County nearer to Philadelphia should brace themselves for a snowy spectacle. As you venture southeast, though, trade your snow shovel for an umbrella, as rain and potential flooding may take center stage.
Camden County: A Tale of Two Halves
Half of Camden County, especially those close to the I-95 corridor, should dust off their snow gear. But as you head eastward, swap your winter wonderland dreams for rain boots and flood warnings.
Shore Extravaganza: Rain, No Snow
Shore-town residents, basking in coastal glory, can breathe a sigh of relief – no snow on the sandy shores! The National Weather Service predicts only rain for the picturesque Cape May and Atlantic counties.
Cumberland County: Raindrops Keep Falling
In Cumberland County, it seems rain is the star of the show. Sorry snow enthusiasts, it’s more likely you’ll be hearing raindrops pattering on your windows when the storm rolls in.
Gloucester County: Snowflakes and Raindrops Tango
Picture a dance floor divided – half of Gloucester County, closer to the I-95 corridor, should ready themselves for a snowy soiree. However, as you waltz eastward toward the coast, the forecast flips, promising only rain.
Salem County: Eastward Bound for Rain
Half of Salem County, following the I-95 corridor, might be treated to a snowy spectacle. Yet, as you venture east, prepare for a rain-soaked encore along the coast.
This snow saga is still unfolding, promising more twists and turns. Keep your eyes on the sky and stay tuned for updates as South Jersey eagerly anticipates a potential winter wonderland! ❄️🌨️🌧️
