Is there a growing chance that the Shore area will be spared from the bulk of the snow in Tuesday’s nor’easter after all?<\/p>\n

The latest snowfall predictions from the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly calls for a lessened accumulation in Ocean County \u2013 4-6 inches in Toms River \u2013 and just 2-3 inches along the immediate shoreline.<\/p>\n

While sections of North Jersey and the interior portion of the state will receive as much as 18-24 inches from the storm, coastal sections are largely being spared, the new graphic, reflecting 8 p.m. Tuesday through 8 p.m. Wednesday, shows. Just south of Toms River, the snow forecast drops even farther, showing Atlantic City receiving less than an inch of snow from the storm.<\/p>\n

“Snow will not be that impactful for most of us in southeastern New Jersey,” said meteorologist Dan Skeldon<\/a> of The Press of Atlantic City. “Closer to a Toms River to Hammonton to Bridgeton line you’ll be closer to some higher snow totals.”<\/p>\n

Indeed, most forecast maps show northern Ocean County straddling the line of heavier snow totals to the north and scant accumulation to the south. Skeldon’s own map shows 3-6 inches falling throughout most of the county, with a sliver of the northern portion of the county receiving 6-12 inches.<\/p>\n

Coastal areas will still receive a punch from the potent storm. Forecasters are calling for wind gusts into the 65 m.p.h. range during the height of the storm, occurring during the daytime hours Tuesday.<\/p>\n
