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

AT 1230 AM, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR ALONG WITH
SURFACE REPORTS CONTINUES TO TRACK AN AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
SNOW FROM FAR EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA EASTWARD TO MOST OF NEW JERSEY.
THIS AREA CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD, HOWEVER THERE HAS
BEEN SOME REDEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST FROM WARREN COUNTY IN NEW
JERSEY TO NEAR PHILADELPHIA. THE SNOWFALL RATES WITHIN THIS AREA
ARE MOSTLY BETWEEN 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR. SNOWFALL RATES MAY
REACH 3 INCHES PER HOUR ESPECIALLY ACROSS OCEAN, MONMOUTH AND
MIDDLESEX COUNTIES. THESE RATES WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE
VISIBILITIES TO ONE HALF OF A MILE OR LESS. IN ADDITION, THESE
ENHANCED SNOWFALL RATES WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT
FOR PLOWING CREWS AS ACCUMULATIONS ARE VERY QUICK. NORTHERLY WINDS
15 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS TO UP 30 MPH WILL CAUSE SOME BLOWING SNOW
ESPECIALLY ACROSS OPEN AREAS.

ROADWAYS CONTINUE TO BE VERY HAZARDOUS ACROSS THE AREA. THE
ENHANCED BAND OF HEAVIER SNOW WILL GRADUALLY PIVOT FROM WEST TO EAST
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. IT IS BEST TO STAY INDOORS AND NOT
TO TRAVEL UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
