A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect from 4 PM this afternoon
to midnight EST Wednesday night.

Low pressure moving from the deep south early this morning will
head into the Ohio Valley this afternoon. That low will give up
its energy to a coastal storm... which will develop along the
northern North Carolina coast late today and this evening. By
Wednesday morning... this nor/Easter is forecast to be
intensifying strongly just east of our area... and is expected to
bring heavy snow to a good part of our area through Wednesday and
perhaps into Wednesday evening.

Southeast of Interstate 95 the snow may mix with sleet at times
tonight... and with sleet and rain at times during the first half
of the day Wednesday. However... this is more likely closer to the
coast. But 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 18
inches with the highest amounts over the northern Eastern Shore of
Maryland... northern Delaware... eastern Pennsylvania... and much of
New Jersey. Heavy snow is expected to occur in two bursts across
the region. The first is expected to occur tonight with four to
eight 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 the Philadelphia area... 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 as
winds increase.

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.
