Winter Weather Advisory – Update #3

Dear Resident,

The National Weather Service (NWS) has now extended a Winter Storm Warning to Monmouth County. This upgrade comes as the track of the storm has shifted southward which is projected to bring additional snowfall to our area.

The current forecast calls for rain to begin tonight, changing over to snow Tuesday morning with snowfall and sleet accumulation between 3 and 7 inches. In addition, the NWS has also forecasted heavy winds for our area, with gusts up to 35 mph.

As a reminder, please take this opportunity to remove all vehicles and obstructions such as basketball hoops from the roadways to ensure the safe and efficient passage of public works operators and public safety first responders.

Please review the ‘Surviving the Snow’ on pages 22 and 23 of the Recycling Calendar and linked HERE for tips, important numbers and websites.

As a reminder, in the event of power outages, report your outage by calling 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877), clicking the “Report Outage” link on www.firstenergycorp.com, or by texting out to 544487.

We will continue to monitor updates to the forecast, and keep you posted as to any changes via email, social media channels and the Township website.

Stay safe,

Mayor Jon Hornik
