...FLURRIES AND SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS DURING THE MORNING
COMMUTE...

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RADAR SHOWED FLURRIES AND SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS, MAINLY NEAR AND EAST OF THE TURNPIKE CORRIDOR, MOVING
EAST ACROSS MUCH OF NEW JERSEY EARLY THIS MORNING. SOME OF THE
SNOW SHOWERS WERE REDUCING THE VISIBILITY BELOW ONE MILE AND
WERE CAUSING A DUSTING OF SNOW ON GRASSY AREAS. ROADS WERE
BECOMING SLIPPERY WITH THE MELTED SNOW. WINDS IN THE SNOW SHOWERS
WERE GUSTING UP TO AROUND 25 MPH, AND THAT COMPOUNDED VISIBILITY
PROBLEMS.

MOTORISTS THIS MORNING SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL IF THEY ENCOUNTER
ONE OF THE STRONGER SNOW SHOWERS. PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY AND LEAVE AS
MUCH ROOM AS YOU CAN BETWEEN YOURSELF AND OTHERS. THE ACTIVITY
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE STATE DURING THE MORNING RUSH HOUR AND EXIT
BY MID-MORNING.
