A Sea Isle City municipal snowplow clears the road during a snowstorm.
A significant storm system will move across the region late Saturday through Sunday, according to the National Weather Service forecast. While precipitation in the shore area looks to fall mainly as rain, there could be a brief period of snow at the onset Saturday evening.
Heavy rain will then follow by overnight Saturday night into Sunday morning. The rain could be heavy enough to lead to flooding.
Rain will come to an end by late day Sunday as a strong cold front
moves through with strong northwest winds and rapidly falling temperatures as arctic air rapidly moves in. This will lead to quick refreezing of wet surfaces, causing very icy conditions.
Dangerous wind chills are possible Sunday night through Tuesday.
