Special Weather Statement issued February 23 at 6:34PM EST by NWS Mount Holly NJ

Effective: Mon February 23, 2026, 11:34 PM
Expires: Tue February 24, 2026, 4:00 AM

With a fresh snowpack and cold air advection behind the departing storm, a cold night is on tap for the region with lows bottoming out in the teens to low 20s. There may be some areas where winds can become light enough for radiational cooling, and then even colder temperatures are possible. These cold temperatures will allow for any standing water to freeze, especially on untreated roadways. Black ice is difficult to see and makes roads very slippery.

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.
