...BANDS OF HEAVY SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT PORTIONS OF CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY...AS WELL AS SOUTHERN DELAWARE...

LOOK FOR BANDS OF HEAVY SNOW TO AFFECT MUCH OF CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY...AS WELL AS SUSSEX COUNTY DELAWARE THROUGH
500 PM. AS THE BANDS ROTATE IN FROM THE OCEAN...SNOW WILL FALL
WITH VARYING INTENSITY THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. 

IN THE MORE PERSISTENT SNOWBANDS...SNOWFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES
AN HOUR ARE POSSIBLE. IN BETWEEN SNOW BANDS...THE SNOW MAY BECOME
LIGHTER FOR A TIME...BUT BECOME HEAVY ONCE AGAIN AS THE NEXT SNOW
BAND MOVES IN.

NORTH WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH...
ESPECIALLY ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. THIS WILL RESULT IN
CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. THE COMBINATION OF FALLING
AND BLOWING SNOW WILL RESULT IN NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AT TIMES
THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY FROM CAPE MAY NORTH THROUGH THE WESTERN
RARITAN BAY. 

CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE INTO THE EARLY
EVENING...AND TRAVEL IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED.
