TUESDAY EVENING UPDATE: Latest forecast calls for more snow in parts of N.J., winter storm warning in Sussex

Portions of New Jersey could see more than six inches of snow from a snowfall expected to begin Tuesday afternoon and continue through Wednesday morning, according to forecasts.

The National Weather Service on Monday increased estimated snowfall totals for some areas of the state. Areas in Passaic County and around Morristown could see between four and six inches of snow. More than six inches is possible in a small area near Sussex.

The latest blast of winter weather could cause a headache for evening commuters, according to forecasts. The heaviest snow would likely hit after sunset Tuesday and continue falling overnight.

"The timing could cause travel delays for the Tuesday evening commute, especially along and north of I-78," a briefing from the weather service in Mount Holly said. "Temperatures dropping below freezing Tuesday night will result in slippery conditions on untreated surfaces."
