NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE: … WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM SATURDAY TO 6 AM EST SUNDAY…
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WARNING… WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM SATURDAY TO 6 AM EST SUNDAY.
SNOW IS EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING. THE SNOW MAY FALL HEAVY AT TIMES AS THE STORM MAKES ITS CLOSEST APPROACH TO THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE COASTS.
WARMER AIR MAY PUSH IN FROM THE OCEAN AND CAUSE A MIX OR CHANGE TO PLAIN RAIN ALONG THE COAST… KEEPING SNOW AMOUNTS LESS THAN AREAS JUST INLAND. HOWEVER… AS THE STORM PULLS AWAY EVEN THESE LOCATIONS MAY CHANGE BACK TO ALL SNOW AND POTENTIALLY RECEIVE HEAVIER SNOW AMOUNTS.
ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WARNING AREA, WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THESE TOTALS ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE TRACK OF THE STORM. IF THE LOW MOVES MORE TO THE WEST, AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHER. A MORE EASTWARD TRACK WOULD YIELD LOWER ACCUMULATIONS.
A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW… SLEET… AND ICE ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE. MORE
