Ahead of a storm that’s expected to drop as much as seven inches of snow on the region by Monday morning, Red Bank officials issued an alert Sunday reminding residents to move their cars off all streets until after they’ve been plowed.

Under an ordinance amendment adopted last month, shoveling or blowing snow into the street is now also prohibited. In January, Business Administrator advocated for “zero tolerance” enforcement of the new law.

The National Weather Service forecast calls for the storm to begin as rain or snow late Sunday afternoon, with heaviest snowfall between 5 and 11 p.m. making driving hazardous. The snow will end before the Monday morning commute, but travel conditions may still be affected.
