...A BAND OF HEAVIER SNOW MOVING ACROSS THE AREA...

AT 255 AM, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR AND SPOTTER
REPORTS INDICATED A BAND OF HEAVIER SNOW WHICH CONTINUES TO
GRADUALLY SLIDE SOUTHWESTWARD. THIS BAND WAS LOCATED FROM EASTERN
SUSSEX COUNTY THROUGH MORRIS AND MIDDLESEX COUNTIES THEN INTO
WESTERN MONMOUTH COUNTY.

AS THIS BAND MOVES THROUGH, SNOWFALL RATES HAVE BEEN NEAR AN INCH
PER HOUR. TEMPERATURES ARE RIGHT NEAR FREEZING, AND WHEN COMBINED
WITH THE HEAVIER SNOWFALL RATES WILL RESULT IN SLUSH OR SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS.

IF TRAVELING EARLY THIS MORNING, BE PREPARED FOR GREATLY REDUCED
VISIBILITIES WITHIN THIS HEAVIER BAND OF SNOW, ALONG WITH SLIPPERY
CONDITIONS ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS. THE SNOWFALL RATES QUICKLY LESSEN
ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS BAND.
