Special Weather Statement issued February 24 at 7:02PM EST by NWS Mount Holly NJ

Effective: Tue February 24, 2026, 7:02 PM
Expires: Wed February 25, 2026, 12:00 AM

With temperatures falling into the 20s, any runoff or standing water from melting snow will freeze, resulting in patchy black ice, especially on untreated roadways. Black ice is difficult to see and makes roads very slippery. In addition, some light snow may develop prior to daybreak Wednesday. Accumulating snow is not expected, but this, combined with the black ice, may impact the Wednesday morning commute. Slow down and give yourself extra time to travel tonight through Wednesday morning.


This is only a test for monitoring of vital dissemination systems.

Effective: Tue February 24, 2026, 7:27 PM

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
