...AN AREA OF HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH DURING THE EVENING
COMMUTE...

AT 415 PM, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR WAS TRACKING AN
AREA OF HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS MOVING INTO SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA.
THESE WILL AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE AREA DURING THE EVENING COMMUTE,
STARTING WITH WESTERN CECIL COUNTY AND THEN CHESTER COUNTY.

AS THESE SNOW SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH, THE LOCAL VISIBILITY WILL
QUICKLY DROP TO AROUND A MILE. WHILE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE
LIMITED TO A LIGHT COATING, THIS COULD BE ENOUGH TO MAKE UNTREATED
SURFACES SLIPPERY ESPECIALLY BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING, BE PREPARED FOR QUICK
CHANGING VISIBILITIES DUE TO THESE HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS ALONG WITH
POSSIBLE SLIPPERY SPOTS.
