ANOTHER STORM HEADED THIS WAY?

Ledger Live reporter Brian Donohue shot this pre-storm vodcast about weather-induced panic shopping last Friday at Red Bank and Middletown supermarkets. Will we see a repeat run on bread and milk this week?

Just days after Saturday’s blizzard, the Red Bank area could be facing another wintry mess beginning Tuesday night.

The National Weather Service is warning of an “explosively developing” northeaster (or as they call it, a ‘nor-easter,’ as though we all lived in a Pepperidge Farm commercial) that could bring “heavy snow” to the area through Wednesday.

Locally, it sounds as though we could be in for less pretty white fluffy stuff and more yucky mess.
Here’s the NWS day-by-day forecast:

Today: Sunny, with a high near 32. West wind between 14 and 17 mph.

Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 18. West wind between 9 and 14 mph.

Tuesday: Increasing clouds, with a high near 35. Northwest wind between 7 and 9 mph.

Tuesday Night: Snow before 4am, then snow and sleet. Low around 27. West wind 5 to 14 mph becoming east. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

Wednesday: Snow and sleet before 10am, then rain and snow, possibly mixed with sleet between 10am and noon, then snow after noon. High near 33. Breezy, with a northeast wind between 21 and 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.

Wednesday Night: Snow showers likely, mainly before 1am. Cloudy and windy, with a low around 24. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Thursday: Partly sunny, with a high near 36.

Thursday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 24.

Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 37.

Friday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 21.

Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 36.

Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 23.

Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 37.
