...BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW POSSIBLE TODAY...

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR WINTRY WEATHER 
CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE REGION. ONLY LINGERING 
SNOW FLURRIES REMAIN POSSIBLE TODAY, MAINLY DURING THE MORNING HOURS 
ACROSS NORTHERN NEW JERSEY AND NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. LITTLE OR 
NO ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED.   

HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE OHIO VALLEY IS SLOWLY MOVING EAST ON 
THE HEELS OF THE DEPARTING LOW. THIS IS CAUSING A TIGHT PRESSURE 
GRADIENT RESULTING IN GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS. WIND CHILLS TODAY WILL 
DIP INTO THE TEENS IN MANY PLACES, SINGLE DIGITS IN THE COLDEST 
LOCALES. BESIDES CAUSING LOW WIND CHILL VALUES, THE NORTHWEST WINDS 
WHICH COULD APPROACH 40 MPH, WILL PRODUCE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. 

IF YOU PLAN TO TRAVEL TODAY, BE PREPARED FOR ICY CONDITIONS WHERE 
ROADS HAVE NOT BEEN PLOWED OR TREATED. IN ADDITION, THE STRONG WINDS 
AND BLOWING SNOW COULD CAUSE REDUCED VISIBILITIES. ALSO, DRIFTING 
SNOW COULD ONCE AGAIN COVER PLOWED SURFACES.     

IF POSSIBLE, LEAVE A LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION 
TODAY. IF YOU ENCOUNTER ICE OR SNOW COVERED ROADWAYS, SLOW DOWN AND 
LEAVE EXTRA ROOM BETWEEN YOU AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU.
