Cold temperatures to last through the weekend
The powerful storm that was expected to hit our area starting tomorrow looks to have weakened and the National Weather Service (NWS) is predicting much less snowfall to cover our area. According to the most recent predictions from the NWS the storm is expected to arrive Friday afternoon and go through Friday night but there should only be a maximum of four inches falling on the ground. Many areas, including Long Branch and Eatontown, may see only an inch of snow or less depending on where they are in the path of the storm. The snowfall may not be as bad as what was originally predicted but the temperatures over the next few days will remain at or below the freezing mark. Starting tomorrow the high is expected to be around 25 before …

The National Weather Service is predicting about an inch of snow will accumulate in the Shore area Saturday. An area of low pressure to the south of the region will bring a period of rain and snow, and accumulations will range from a half-inch to an inch of snow depending on the storm's exact track, the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly said. Saturday's high temperature is expected to be 38 degrees. A flood warning also remains in effect for rivers and small streams in Ocean County, related to Wednesday's rain storm. That warning is set to expire Saturday morning at 11:30 a.m. The sun will return on Sunday, predicted to be a breezy day with a forecast high of 37 degrees

Over 8 inches estimated to have fallen since Wednesday
Manchester police report that the nor'easter Wednesday toppled a tree into a Cedar Glen Homes residence on Robin Street, forcing the man living there to relocated after the structure was deemed unsafe, said Capt. Lisa Parker. Throughout the township, "multiple" wires are down and power is reportedly out in both the eastern and western sections of Manchester including Pine Lake Park, Holly Oaks, Cedar Glen, Whiting Station and The Meadows, according to Parker. JCP&L estimates that about 5,483 of its 25,507 Manchester customers are in the dark. Before the Nor'easter hit, power was restored to nearly all of the township after Hurricane Sandy left thousands of Manchester residents without electricity. "We have no idea when JCP&L will be able …

National Weather Service predicting various amounts depending on location
It looks like Monmouth and Ocean Counties should see a storm starting Friday night, and lasting all day Saturday, that could deliver as little as a dusting and as much as two inches of snow - depending on your location. The National Weather Service is predicting the storm could deliver close to half an inch of snow before the sun comes up tomorrow across much of the area. The snow should continue until around 1 p.m. when warmer temperatures should result in a shift to rain. Snow accumulations for Saturday could be as high as two inches depending on the location. Farther south, the storm is expected to make much less of an impact. The National Weather Service is calling for little or no accumulation tonight in Barnegat. The storm should …

Winter weather advisory in effect for Ocean and Monmouth into tomorrow
Ocean and Monmouth counties can expect up to 3 inches of snow within the next 36 hours, meteorologists say, but warming temperatures are expected to change the precipitation to rain as the approaching storm winds down. A winter weather advisory will be in effect for both counties from 1 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday, said meteorologist Kristin Kline of the National Weather Service's Mount Holly station. At the Shore, the snow "will begin after midnight tonight and continue through the early part of tomorrow morning," Kline said. "Then it's going to change over to sleet, and there may even be a brief period of freezing rain." (The difference? Sleet falls as frozen precipitation – think tiny ice pellets bouncing off your windshield. Freezing …

After being teased with near 70 degree temperatures last week, we will get another quick reminder that winter is not over yet. This is what we can expect throughout the remainder of this winter season as warm weather teases are followed quick cold blasts with minor snow accumulations. Monday will start off with light rain in the morning. Some mixed precipitation may occur during the overnight hours but this should not be a big disruption for the morning commute. Tuesday morning may be a bit more dicey. Our area may face accumulations of 1-to-3 inches of snow Monday night through Tuesday morning. I am leaning more toward 1 inch of snow unless the precipitation from this storm is able to make its way further north. This will be more of a …

Yet another winter storm dropped well over a foot of snow over the region. By now, we have learned that all you can do is grab a shovel, take a breath, and get ready for the next storm headed our way. Last night’s storm had everything from rain, sleet, and snow to thunder and lighting flashes. At times, two to three inch bands of snow pounded the region allowing accumulations to add up quickly. When the skies finally cleared, Philadelphia could add 17 inches to this winter’s snow total. New York City can tack on another 19 inches, making this the snowiest January ever recorded. Areas in the Jersey Shore region were not left out of the snow party. Brick Township received 10.6 inches and Point Pleasant added a not-so-pleasant total of 7.2 …

County and township salt crews out since 7 a.m.
Weather conditions are not following forecasters’ scripts, complicating efforts to clear ice and snow from 620 miles of Ocean County highways. What began as snow was supposed to change over to rain as temperatures climbed, but by mid-morning it was still snowing all over the county, according to Road Supervisor Stephen F. Childers. As a result, he said the Road Department received complaints of icy conditions on some county roads early in the morning. “The lady who was screaming at me on the phone’’ complained about Hooper Avenue, Childers said. “All our equipment that is running was loaded and out prior to 7 a.m.,’’ he said. Drivers were spreading salt and brine to clear the roads. If snow continues to accumulate he said they will start …

Coldest temperatures of the season: an icy Tuesday and possible snow
The week will bring some of the coldest temperatures this winter. There are two areas of concern: a system coming into the area that will bring some very messy weather and dangerous roadways. The weather system should begin as snow overnight but transition to sleet and freezing rain for the morning commute on Tuesday, causing potentially icy roads. Friday may bring a possible plowable amount of snow as a low-pressure system rides along the coast. forecasters are uncertain what Friday's system may bring.

Here we go again, I guess what they are trying to say to those who live along the water - here comes another flood, stay off the roads. Are the towns going to announce a state of emergency to be off the roads by a certian time like they did with sandy ? Brick sent out a call to everyone of a car ban in town the last time. ? more ›
