Dec 7: Coastal Storm Update and Storm Impact Map

The following storm impact map represents my current thoughts on the approaching coastal storm this week:

storm map for december 9-11 weather nj

Timing looks like late Monday night through possibly Thursday morning. The longer duration is due to the coastal low stalling and possibly even retrograding off the Jersey coast as a nor’easter before moving out. It’s important to note that easterly winds will develop well ahead of the storm system. High tides could start impacting the barrier islands and back bays of coastal NJ as early as tomorrow morning. As I’ve been expressing this week, coastal impact is my primary concern despite significant accumulations being possible in NWNJ. I’ll release a final call map tomorrow including expected snow accumulations in inches. For now, this map is my best representation. Be safe! JC
