...AN AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WITH ISOLATED THUNDER
CONTINUES TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE REGION...

AT 925 PM, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR ALONG WITH
SURFACE REPORTS CONTINUES TO TRACK AN AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
SNOW ALONG THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR. THE SNOWFALL RATES WITHIN
THIS AREA ARE BETWEEN 1 TO AS MUCH AS 2 INCHES PER HOUR. THESE
RATES WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE VISIBILITIES TO ONE HALF OF A
MILE OR LESS. IN ADDITION, THESE ENHANCED SNOWFALL RATES WILL MAKE
IT DIFFICULT FOR PLOWING CREWS AS ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE QUICK.
NORTHERLY WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH WILL CAUSE SOME
BLOWING SNOW ESPECIALLY ACROSS OPEN AREAS.

ROADWAYS ARE VERY HAZARDOUS ACROSS THE AREA, AND WILL CONTINUE TO
BE SO AS THE ENHANCED BAND OF HEAVY SNOW GRADUALLY PIVOTS FROM
WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING AND INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. IT IS BEST TO STAY INDOORS AND NOT TO TRAVEL
UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
