A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until midnight EST
Wednesday night.

Low pressure forming over eastern South Carolina and southeastern
North Carolina will become the main low pressure system tonight
as it starts to intensify rapidly. By Wednesday morning... this
nor/Easter is forecast to be just east of our area... and will
bring heavy snow to a good part of our area into Wednesday
evening.

From the Interstate 95 corridor southeastward the snow may mix
with sleet and possibly freezing rain at times late tonight... and
with sleet and rain at times during the first half of the day
Wednesday. This is most likely closer to the coast. As colder air
wraps around the storm even these areas are expected to change
back to all snow.

Total snow accumulations are expected to range from 10 to
20 inches with the highest amounts northwest of the Interstate
95 corridor. The heaviest accumulations as of now are expected to
occur in the Philadelphia northwestern suburbs. Heavy snow is
expected to occur in two bursts across the region. The first is
underway tonight with 3 to 7 inches likely to accumulate by the
morning commute Wednesday. The second shot will be an even more
intense burst of heavy snow with the upper air disturbance itself
that should occur in most of eastern Pennsylvania... Maryland... and
Delaware during Wednesday morning and New Jersey and northeastern
Pennsylvania during Wednesday afternoon. The snow will end by
midnight Wednesday night.

Winds will increase as Wednesday continues and will cause
considerable blowing and drifting of snow... even more than what
occurred with the weekend snow storm. At and near the Atlantic
shore blizzard conditions are possible Wednesday afternoon and
evening as winds increase.

Driving will be hazardous at best during this winter storm. It is
highly recommended that where possible to take mass
transportation Wednesday and only drive if its 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.

... Wind Advisory remains in effect from 10 am Wednesday to
midnight EST Wednesday night...

A Wind Advisory remains in effect from 10 am Wednesday to
midnight EST Wednesday night.

As a Nor'easter intensifies off the New Jersey and Delaware
coasts winds will increase to 20 to 30 mph with gusts to around
45 mph mainly during Wednesday afternoon and evening. If the
strong winds coincide with the heavy snow... blizzard conditions
are possible and it might become necessary to issue a Blizzard
Warning for all or part of this area. Expect power outages and
possibly localized property damage from the combination of the
snow and strong winds.

.Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that wind gusts of around 45 mph are
expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult...
especially for high profile vehicles. The winds will only
exacerbate the difficult driving conditions expected during the
day on Wednesday. Use extra caution and drive only if its
absolutely necessary.
