A 4th area weather event could dump as much as 6 inches of snow Wednesday – The day after the official first day of Spring!
This just after our area was pounded by back to back Nor’Easters which blanketed areas with snow, downed powerlines and left thousands without power for days.
The duo of storms even forced the rescheduling of the Hamilton St. Patricks Day Parade, now set for this Saturday, March 24th.
The National Weather Service early Monday morning has indicated the possibility of another coastal storm which could bring as much as 4 to 6 inches of snow to the Mercer County area Tuesday night through Wednesday.
Here is the latest official snowfall forecast and low-/high-end probability scenarios for the upcoming coastal storm. A long duration event starting in our southern areas late tonight and continuing into Wednesday as it will come in two waves. pic.twitter.com/U9yLiC2Inr

The exact outcome is not yet certain based on the storms current track.
www.weathernj.com shows our area getting no accumulation at all, however, www.weatherboy.com has a worst case scenario for a foot of snow in central and south Jersey.
Meteorologists look at different storm models, namely the UK, GEM, GFS, and ECMWF models. Some of these models show a coating or sleet at best, some show the potential of nearly 12 inches.
One thing to watch as far as accumulation is concerned is ground temperature as today calls for a high of nearly 50 degrees.
As this storm develops……or dissipates we will keep you updated.
