...ARCTIC COLD FRONT WITH SNOW SQUALLS MOVING TOWARD THE AREA...

A LINE OF SNOW SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT IS MAKING
ITS WAY ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA LATE TUESDAY MORNING. AS THIS FRONT MOVES
EAST...SNOW SHOWERS AND SNOW SQUALLS CAN BE EXPECTED IN EASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA...NEW JERSEY...AND ON THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE DELMARVA
PENINSULA DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. WHILE SOME LOCATIONS MAY
SEE JUST A COATING OF SNOW...OTHER LOCATIONS COULD SEE AN INCH OR TWO
OF SNOW ACCUMULATION IN THE HEAVIER SQUALLS. THE HIGHEST
ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR NORTH OF PHILADELPHIA.

GUSTY WEST WINDS UP TO 35 MPH WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THIS FRONT AS IT
PASSES THROUGH THE REGION. THESE WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAY...USHERING IN COLDER AIR FOR THE REST OF THE
WEEK.

SOME OF THE HEAVIER SQUALLS WILL DROP SNOW VERY QUICKLY CAUSING ROAD
CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE RAPIDLY IN SOME LOCATIONS. THE GUSTY WINDS
COULD ALSO CAUSE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW AS IT FALLS...REDUCING
VISIBILITIES TO NEAR ZERO AT TIMES. AS A RESULT...MOTORISTS SHOULD
EXERCISE CAUTION DURING TRAVEL THIS AFTERNOON.
