...AN AREA OF HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS REDUCING VISIBILITIES DURING THE
EVENING COMMUTE...

AT 525 PM, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR WAS TRACKING AN
AREA OF HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS FROM SOUTHERN CHESTER COUNTY TO
NORTHERN NEW CASTLE COUNTY. THESE ARE MOVING NORTHEASTWARD AT
AROUND 30 MPH. ADDITIONAL HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS ARE NEAR
PHILADELPHIA AND INTO SOUTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY.

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

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