...SOME BANDS OF SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT PARTS OF THE REGION
THIS MORNING...

A COLD NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES TO PRODUCE SOME NARROW BANDS OF
SNOW ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. AS OF 905 AM, A
STRONGER SNOW BAND EXTENDED FROM CARBON, LEHIGH TO BUCKS
COUNTIES. THIS BAND HAS WEAKENED THOUGH SINCE ABOUT 845 AM,
HOWEVER BURSTS OF SNOW WILL STILL OCCUR AT TIMES WITHIN THIS BAND.
A SECONDARY BAND OF SNOW IS FROM BERKS COUNTY DOWN INTO CHESTER
COUNTY. THIS BAND IS A BIT MORE BROAD AND SO FAR HAS BEEN WEAKER.

WITHIN THE BANDS OF SNOW, THE VISIBILITY WILL BECOME RAPIDLY
REDUCED OVER A SHORT DISTANCE AT TIMES. GIVEN THE RATHER COLD AND
DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE, A QUICK COATING TO AN INCH WILL OCCUR IN THE
MOST PERSISTENT SNOW. 

THE SNOW WILL CREATE SLIPPERY CONDITIONS ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS,
ESPECIALLY BRIDGES AND OTHER ELEVATED SURFACES. USE CAUTION IF YOU
MUST TRAVEL INTO OR THROUGH THESE BANDS OF SNOW, AND BE PREPARED
FOR RAPIDLY CHANGING ROAD AND WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER SHORT
DISTANCES.
