R.W.S Winter Weather Advisory

The following is a Winter Weather Advisory issued by R.W.S. at 3:35 PM EST 1/13/09

The following winter weather advisory is in effect from 1/15/09 12 AM est to 1/15/09 12 noon Est ..

The Winter Weather Advisory covers the following counties.
In PA...
Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Lehigh, Northampton and Monroe.

An alberta clipper currently over the Dakotas will continue to drop to the south and east to central Missouri. At this point and time the clipper will move from west to east across southern ohio and track east from there to the south of the PA/MD border, tracking across Washington, DC, and moving east out to sea from there.
The snow will start to spread from west to east around midnight and should cover the entire region by 4 AM. There is not much qpf with this system. QPF ranges from .01 to the south to about .20 in the far NW suburbs. This will result in a 2-4 inch snowfall across Pa counties and 3-5 inches across the far NW Nj counties.

Remember that a winter weather advisory means that a light accumulation of snow/sleet or freezing rain is expected.
Also along with this winter weather advisory will be a potential for gusty NW winds after the storm ends. This will create blowing and drifting of the snowfall. Use caution when driving or venturing outdoors
Stay tuned for further winter weather updates
