...LAST BANDS OF HEAVY SNOW SHOWERS WILL AFFECT THE AREA FOR THE
REST OF THE EVENING... 

DOPPLER RADAR WAS SHOWING HEAVY SNOW SHOWERS OVER MERCER COUNTY,
LOWER BUCKS COUNTY AND ESPECIALLY IN CENTRAL BURLINGTON COUNTY. OTHER
SNOW SHOWERS WERE ALSO OVER CAMDEN, ATLANTIC AND SOUTHERN OCEAN
COUNTIES. THIS AREA WAS MOVING TO THE SOUTHSOUTHEAST AND SHOULD
AFFECT BURLINGTON AND ATLANTIC COUNTIES THE MOST BETWEEN NOW AND
MIDNIGHT.

UNDERNEATH THE HEAVIEST SNOW SHOWERS, AN ADDITIONAL HALF INCH TO
INCH OF SNOW IS LIKELY WITH MOST OTHER AREAS PICKING UP TO AN
ADDITIONAL HALF INCH. WEB CAMERAS ARE SHOWING THAT MOST ROADWAYS
ARE BECOMING SNOW COVERED WHERE THE HEAVIER SNOW HAS ALREADY
FALLEN WITH TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND THE FREEZING MARK.  
 
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO FALL AND MOST PLACES WILL BE BELOW
FREEZING BY MIDNIGHT. ANY STANDING WATER OR SNOW ON UNTREATED
ROADWAYS WILL MAKE FOR INCREASINGLY MORE HAZARDOUS TRAVEL. IN
ADDITION WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE AND GUSTS TO 30 TO
40 MPH ARE LIKELY BY THE END OF THE EVENING.

MOTORISTS PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS IF YOU ARE TRAVELING, ESPECIALLY
LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. EXPECT VARYING ROAD CONDITIONS
AND GIVE YOURSELF EXTRA BRAKING DISTANCES.
