More snow is headed our way this weekend, according to AccuWeather.com.

March will get off to a wet start as up to 6 inches of snow is likely to fall on New Jersey starting Sunday night and into Monday, according to at least one forecast.

Accuweather.com is calling for up to 6 inches before the precipitation clears out of the state sometime late Monday.

"If everything went bad, it could be even more than 6 inches, " said Tom Kines, a meteorologist with AccuWeather. "The big question mark is how much is snow, as opposed to sleet, freezing rain and just plain rain for a time. It depends on how reluctant the cold air is to leave."

Northern New Jersey will likely receive the brunt of the snow, with lesser amounts accumulating along the Shore, Kines said.

The National Weather Service is more conservative with its prediction and is not offering a call on how much snow New Jersey might receive.

"It does look like there will be something that affects us, but the details are still uncertain," meteorologist Valerie Meola said. "The models are still kind of all over the place."

Although there is a greater likelihood of snow in the forecast for Sunday night into Monday, snow showers are possible as early as Saturday, Meola said

Before anyone deals with Sunday, there is a chance of snow showers later today as an arctic front moves through, Kines said. Roads could get slick during the late afternoon and evening.

"Some could get pretty intense," he said.

Temperatures could dip into the single digits in some areas tonight and a stiff wind might bring negative wind chills.

On Friday, highs will only reach the 20s but the sun will shine. Saturday will be a bit warmer with temperatures climbing into the upper 30s, though skies will become increasingly cloudy.
