Snow accumulation for Sunday However, a number of factors must line up to produce blockbuster impacts, namely a slow and precise track along the northeast coast and enough cold air from Canada. Snow totals will be limited if any one of these forecast ingredients is missing."
""We do expect snowfall," Johnson said, noting that even small shifts in the path of the low-pressure system could mean the difference between a light dusting and several inches requiring shoveling. Dig deeper: Johnson compared several forecast models: The GFS model shows a more aggressive scenario, suggesting a longer-lasting storm with the potential for 5 to 10 inches of snow in parts of the region."

A winter storm watch is in effect for portions of the New York City area this weekend. Heavy snowfall requires a slow, precise track along the northeast coast and sufficient cold air from Canada; totals will be limited if either ingredient is missing.

Highest totals are favored across southern and central New Jersey. The Monday morning commute could be messy.
