PHazardous Weather Outlook Issued For 4 Counties Just West Of Hudson Monday: Here's Why

NORTH JERSEY, NJ — The National Weather Service issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for Monday morning for Bergen County and three other North Jersey counties, urging commuters to check the weather before heading out.

They said that if the temperature drops, “isolated snow” or freezing rain could make the roadways especially slick in the morning.

“If confidence in freezing rain increases, a Special Weather Statement or Winter Weather Advisory would be issued overnight,” they wrote. “Travelers are advised to check the latest forecast and travel conditions before heading out tomorrow morning.”

The outlook applies to Bergen, Essex, Passaic, and Union counties.

They explained, “A weak cold front will bring isolated snow and/or freezing rainshowers to the region during the early Monday morning commute.

“Air and ground temps will likely be at or just below freezing north and west of I-95 at that time, which could result in some freezing rain and spotty icing of untreated roadways and walkways.”

The rest of the week’s weather is expected to be uneventful except for a half inch of rain late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, the NWS predicts.

Because of the cold temperatures, a Code Blue Alert is in effect for Bergen and Union counties through Monday, meaning shelters will be available for those without heat or shelter. Find out more about Code Blues and the warming centers in each county here.
