National Weather Says:
Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for eastern PA, western and northern NJ (except the immediate coast). Winter Weather Advisories are just southeast of the Interstate 95 corridor.
Snowfall later this morning into this evening will be a heavy, wet snow, and could result in downed trees and power lines, along with widespread power outages. Travel will be difficult, if not impossible, especially this afternoon and early evening.
Generally 18 to 24 inches is expected in northwest New Jersey, 12 to 18 inches in the southern Poconos, 10 to 16 inches in most of southeast PA, 8 to 12 inches in the immediate Philadelphia area, and 6 inches or less on the Delmarva and southern New Jersey. Extreme southern NJ and southern DE may just get rain. Confidence level: medium with the greatest uncertainty near the I-95 corridor where small shifts in the storm track can make a big difference in the snow total forecast. Snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour expected in eastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey mainly between 11 AM to 7 PM. Confidence: High
Northeast winds will become northwest this afternoon and evening. Sustained winds will be near 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph, except gusts up to 45 MPH in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Expect downed trees, power outages, and blowing snow. Confidence level: High.
Widespread minor coastal flooding is expected, especially along the northern and central parts of the NJ coast where there is a small chance of moderate flooding with midday high tide. Confidence: High. Low-end moderate flooding is expected through this morning’s high tide along the eastern shore of Maryland.
Gale force winds and rough seas on the coastal waters of NJ and DE, and on Del Bay. Near storm force wind gusts are possible. Confidence: High
If you live north and west of Philadelphia, and north of I-195 in New Jersey, here’s our best advice to stay safe…be where you need to be by 7 AM today, then stay at that location through this evening in order to ride out the storm. Make sure your car has a full tank of gas, and your cell phone is fully charged.
