Roads, power, NJ Transit — Tuesday’s essential winter weather info

It's not snow but ice that will affect North and Central New Jersey on Monday night and Tuesday morning.

The main impact of the storm will start about10 p.m. Monday with an extended period of moderate to heavy sleet and freezing rain that could leave at least a 1/4 inch of ice accumulation in Bergen, Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, Sussex, Passaic and Warren counties, according to New Jersey 101.5 Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow. That will leave a glaze on roads and stick to trees and utility lines.

"By around 4 a.m., I expect temperatures to rise sufficiently above 32 degrees that any icy mix will change to plain rain. There absolutely could be residual icing problems through Tuesday morning's rush hour," Zarrow said.

Temperatures will rise into the 40s overnight in the rest of the state with all rain expected. The rain could be heavy with rumbles of thunder and some gusty winds of 50 mph.

The information below will be updated as new information becomes available Tuesday morning.
