Areas affected...Northern Mid-Atlantic into the Hudson Valley

Concerning...Snow Squall

Valid 010800Z - 011130Z

SUMMARY...A snow squall currently over central/eastern Pennsylvania
will continue east-southeastward across the northern Mid-Atlantic
early this morning.

DISCUSSION...Radar data from KCCX and KBGM show a
northeast/southwest-oriented snow squall moving southeastward at
around 30 kt across central/eastern PA. This snow squall has been
associated with visibility reductions below 1/4 mile and strong
gusts under the more intense/organized portions of the band. The
snow squall will continue tracking east-southeastward across the
northern Mid-Atlantic along the surging cold front, which will
continue to support organized structure -- especially where
temperatures remain below freezing ahead of the squall. Current
expectations are for the snow squall to become less organized with
eastward extent, though strong gusts and quick visibility reductions
are still expected across portions of the northern Mid-Atlantic for
the next several hours.
