The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for Ocean County, from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday.
The advisory calls for between 1 and 2 inches of snow to fall during the day Tuesday, with the steadiest snowfall occurring between the hours of the morning commute to midday. The snow will taper off and become scattered by early afternoon, according to the advisory.
The storm’s hazards include slippery roadways and reduced visibility during Tuesday’s morning rush hour. Temperatures in the 20s will allow snow to accumulate on untreated roadways, the advisory said.
