Winter Storm Update: Final Snow Call Map, Timing and More

Wednesday’s winter storm will start to move into the area in early afternoon. Into Philadelphia by 1pm, Trenton by 2pm and Shore Points by 3pm Snow amounts will be significant near and north and west of the I-95 corridor. Snowfall rates could reach 1 to 2 inches per hour for a time late day Wednesday into Wednesday night, causing significantly reduced visibility and potentially crippling travel impacts in places. One of the big impacts are that we could see winds 15-30mph with gust over 40mph at times, these winds will increase the chances for power outages in the area. 

If you will be traveling tomorrow afternoon/evening prepare for major travel delays due to this being the first snowfall and major snowfall of the season in some areas. Make sure you have a full tank of gas, phones charges, shovel and blankets in your vehicle. As you can see below is our final call map for the upcoming Winter Storm. Green- Shore points and those along the coast might see a few snowflakes mixing in but mainly rain. Light Blue- Mix/Rain for majority of the storm Dark Blue- Snow to Mix then back to snow. These areas will see very sharp cutoffs within the same county at times. Also the wildcard area, if the storm moves southeast as we started to see with the 18z nam. This could be all snow and areas could see over 12″ but at this point we do not feel that is going to happen. Higher amounts on map are for higher locations within that area. Locally higher amounts possible. Purple/Blue- All SNOW

NOTE: A shift by 10-20 miles either north or south will impact totals.
