As a quick moving clipper system approaches from the west, clouds will increase after midnight with temperatures in the low 20s. Scattered snowfall is expected tomorrow with possible accumulations of up to 2” before tapering off by late afternoon. The advisory for Camden County will be effective from 6 p.m. Jan. 5 through 7 a.m. Jan. 6, and from 6 p.m. Jan. 6 through 7 a.m. Jan 7. “Since temperatures will continue to drop accompanied by gusting winds, we are advising residents to avoid going outside for extended periods of time,” Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez said. When the Camden County Health Officer declares a Severe Weather Emergency, municipalities with homeless populations, situational homeless or transient populations are expected to activate their Code Blue response plan to accommodate their immediate needs. The Camden County Health Department and the Office of Emergency Management have worked with each municipality to ensure they have the proper resources to respond to these severe weather situations as part of their individual Code Blue plans. Each municipality has identified its own location to accommodate those in their community seeking shelter from the severe weather. Persons seeking shelter in a warming center should contact their local municipality.
