A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until midnight EST tonight.
A coastal storm developing off the central mid Atlantic coast before sunrise will intensify explosively today. Snow early this morning will intensify during this morning. With heavy snow expected to decrease visibilities... and strong winds gusting to 35 to 45 miles an hour this afternoon... near blizzard conditions may result at times mainly from about midday and through the afternoon... possibly persisting into early tonight before tapering off. However... winds will continue to be strong this evening so there will be plenty of blowing snow with reduced visibilities as well tonight.
Total snow accumulations are expected to range from 10 to 18 inches into early tonight... with the highest amounts from Berks County Pennsylvania northeastward through the Lehigh Valley and on to Morris County New Jersey.
Near-blizzard conditions are rare for our area... so it is likely that people will not realize the peril that exists in venturing out in such storms. Life-threatening conditions are possible... and driving will be hazardous at best during this winter storm today and early tonight. It is highly recommended that travel be curtailed due to the dangerous conditions... and only drive if it is truly an emergency situation.
A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow and sleet are expected or occurring. Strong winds are also possible. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.
