2 min read
Weather forecasters have had a tough time nailing down their snowfall predictions for the big coastal storm that’s expected to arrive in New Jersey on Sunday and linger into early Tuesday.
Many meteorologists are stressing there are several major factors that have yet to be resolved — such as the exact location where the storm will track off the Atlantic coast, and how quickly the storm will strengthen.
A slight shift in the track or a substantial change in the storm’s strength will have a big impact on how much snow, sleet or rain falls from the sky. So, don’t be surprised if some of the forecast maps below go up or down during the next 24 hours.
With that said, here’s a slew of snow forecasts for the upcoming winter storm, as of early Saturday afternoon.
