...A BAND OF SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT PARTS OF THE REGION
THIS EVENING...

A COLD NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES TO PRODUCE A NARROW BAND OF SNOW
ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. AS OF 905 PM, THE
STRONG BAND EXTENDED FROM SOUTHERN MONROE COUNTY, EASTERN
NORTHAMPTON COUNTY SOUTHERN WARREN AND WESTERN HUNTERDON COUNTY.
 
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 HALF 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.
