STORM DESCRIPTION
A complex storm system from the Plains brought a mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain to much of New Jersey.
Synoptic Discussion
A low pressure system moved across the central Plains on Saturday the 24th, pushing into the western Great Lakes on Sunday the 25th. A secondary low pressure then began to develop along a warm front along the mid-Atlantic coast late on Sunday the 25th. By later on Monday the 26th, the secondary low had pushed eastward off the coast.
Local Discussion
Snow and sleet overspread the state from southwest to northeast during the late afternoon on Sunday the 25th. As warm air moved in aloft, the snow and sleet changed to freezing rain from south to north during the evening of the 25th. As warmer air moved northward at the surface, the freezing rain changed to rain across the southern half of the state by midnight on the 26th. Precipitation gradually tapered off from southwest to northeast during the early morning hours of the 26th. Snow and sleet accumulations ranged from a coating to 2 inches across southern and central New Jersey, and ranged from 2 to 4 inches across the northern third of the state.
