N.J. weather: Widespread snow totals of 2 to 5 inches in forecast today from 2nd weekend storm
Widespread snowfall totals of 2 to 5 inches are in the forecast for New Jersey on Sunday from a second winter storm to hit the state this weekend.
Snow has already started falling from the coastal storm before sunrise and will continue throughout the day.
There could be a midday lull in the snow before heavier snow in the afternoon, the National Weather Service said.
Winter weather advisories were expanded overnight to 17 New Jersey counties with slightly higher snowfall totals now expected.
“Snowfall totals were bumped up slightly from the I-95/NJ Turnpike corridor on north and west,” the National Weather Service said early Sunday. “For areas within the winter weather advisory, a widespread 2 to 5 inches is expected.”

The latest snowstorm comes after parts of northern New Jersey got 3 to 5 inches of snow on Saturday, according to town-by-town snowfall reports from the weather service.
Warren and Sussex counties had the highest reported totals.

The National Weather Service said that untreated surfaces could see refreezing and become slick overnight as temperatures drop rapidly after 7 to 8 p.m.
Below-normal temperatures will follow, with the coldest stretch expected Monday night through Tuesday night.
Wind chills will be most severe Monday night, dropping to around zero degrees in some locations.
Tuesday will see high temperatures remain in the 20s, with wind chills in the single digits to low teens throughout the day.
Tuesday night will be bitterly cold with lows in the single digits for most areas, though calmer winds will make wind chills less severe than Monday night.
The cold snap will break Wednesday as temperatures moderate toward more seasonable levels and potentially above normal by Thursday.
A cold front moving through late in the week will drop temperatures back to near or slightly below normal to end the work week.
A change in the jet stream later next week could push chances for snow and ice storms to New Jersey, according to AccuWeather’s long-range forecast.AccuWeather.com and National Weather Service
The weather pattern may turn more active next weekend, though specifics remain uncertain at this time.
