Today a clipper to our north will bring snow flurries and light showers to locations north of Philly. No major issues are expected with today’s system.
Our eyes are turning to overnight Friday into Saturday, as we will see a clipper system bring snow to the area. A general 1-2″ of snow will fall but those around i95 will see 1-3″. The snow is expected to move in around 1am and move out by lunch time. While everyone will likely see some snow with the clipper on Saturday, this is expected to be a minor system. The I-95 corridor could see slightly more than the rest of the region with a 2-3 snow total projection. This will be a light snow event. Just use caution on Saturday morning if you are going out. This is perfect to start the holiday weekend if you are going to the mountains. At some point a Winter Weather Advisory will be issued we believe but as of now that has not happened. If it does we will let you know.
Here is my call as of right now.
As the snow is falling, are you prepared to shovel? Did you know that wet heavy snow like we have right now is called “Heart Attack Snow”. Heavy, wet snow is often called “heart attack snow,” because the great effort required to move it can increase your risk of having a heart attack. Repeatedly lifting a shovel full of heavy snow can be more strenuous than running on a treadmill.
The National Weather Service Has Issued A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY for 2-4″ of Snow
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 3 AM TO 3 PM EST
TUESDAY...
* WHAT...Rain will change over to snow very early Tuesday morning. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph.
* WHERE...In New Jersey, Middlesex and Mercer. In Pennsylvania, Western Montgomery, Eastern Montgomery and Lower Bucks.
* WHEN...From 3 AM to 3 PM EST Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning commute.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Briefly heavy snow will be possible around the time of the morning commute, with snowfall rates of one half to 1 inch per hour possible. There is uncertainty regarding snow amounts and how efficiently the snow will accumulate on roads, given mild temperatures with precipitation starting as rain
overnight.
