MOUNT HOLLY, NJ – A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect across much of central and southern New Jersey Friday night through Saturday morning as freezing rain, sleet, and light snow continue to glaze highways and secondary roads from Camden County to the Jersey Shore.
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly warns that travel will remain hazardous overnight, with slippery conditions expected through the early morning commute.
As of Friday evening, the advisory covers eastern Monmouth, Camden, Burlington, Ocean, and adjacent coastal counties, where total snow and sleet accumulations could reach up to an inch, accompanied by a light coating of ice. Temperatures are forecast to dip into the upper 20s, ensuring that wet surfaces quickly refreeze after any brief changeover to rain.

Forecasters expect precipitation to taper off by around 10 a.m. Saturday, followed by gradual clearing and a high near 35 degrees. Despite improving skies, transportation officials caution that shaded and untreated areas could remain slick through mid-morning. Motorists are urged to reduce speed, allow for additional stopping distance, and avoid unnecessary travel during the height of the icing period.
The system is expected to move out by Saturday afternoon, but another round of unsettled weather looms for the second half of the weekend. Clouds return late Sunday with a mix of rain and snow developing, transitioning to steady rain by Sunday night. A milder air mass follows on Monday with highs near 57 and widespread showers.
