***Snow Squalls Possible Today***

As of early this morning, snow showers with localized squalls are
moving eastward across Pennsylvania and are expected to reach the
area by the mid to late morning time frame. Similar to summer
severe weather, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact areas that
will see intense squalls. However, we expect snow showers with
locally intense squalls to affect the region for the latter part
of this morning continuing through much of this afternoon before
winding down by early this evening. Visibility may quickly drop to
a quarter of a mile or less in any squalls with a quick inch or
two of snow accumulation possible leading to dangerous travel. In
addition to the squalls, widespread wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph
are expected for today.
