...ACCUMULATING SNOW TO AFFECT THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING 
COMMUTE...

A WEAK SYSTEM WILL TRACK TO OUR SOUTH TONIGHT AND PRODUCE A 
WIDESPREAD LIGHT SNOWFALL ACROSS THE AREA. THE SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO 
OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE REST OF THIS
AFTERNOON. THE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ON THE LIGHTER
SIDE WITH TOTALS GENERALLY 1 TO 2 INCHES. THERE IS HOWEVER THE
POTENTIAL FOR A HEAVIER BURST OF SNOW TO OCCUR MAINLY ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA INTO SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, AND INTO
PORTIONS OF DELAWARE AND NORTHEAST MARYLAND.

GIVEN HOW COLD IT HAS BEEN MOST OF THIS WEEK, THE SNOW WILL 
ACCUMULATE IMMEDIATELY. THIS WILL RESULT IN QUICKLY DEVELOPING SLICK 
CONDITIONS INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. UNTREATED ROADS AND 
WALKWAYS WILL BECOME SNOW COVERED, RESULTING IN AREAS OF SLIPPERY 
TRAVEL.

WHILE DRIVING BE PREPARED FOR SLIPPERY ROADS AND GREATLY REDUCED 
VISIBILITIES, AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING. DRIVE AT A SLOWER SPEED 
AND USE EXTRA CAUTION, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING ON BRIDGES AND OTHER
ELEVATED SURFACES AS THEY TEND TO BECOME EVEN MORE SLIPPERY.
