Weather System Highligths - 1st of 3 Storms to Impact :: Highlights: Mondays Storm A high impact - relatively short duration significant snow event will occur Monday and cause a very hazardous morning commute! Most of the snow occurs during the morning daylight hours. Warnings and advisories are posted. The heaviest snowfall should occur from southeast Pennsylvania through central New Jersey where 4 to 7 inches will be common. Forecast snow totals diminish to between 2 and 5 inches over northeast PA and northern NJ near and north of Interstate 78. Snow will be wetter and heavier than we?ve experienced recently. Temperatures will drop into the teens and low 20s Monday night. Any standing water will freeze. Mid-Week Weather Event A stronger storm system will affect the region midweek and bring a wide variety of winter weather (rain, icing due to freezing rain, snow). This has the potential to be a significant icing event northwest of the Interstate 95 corridor A variety of potential significant impacts are ahead but at this time are secondary to the Monday event. Weekend Weather Event There is another potential winter storm next weekend which may come in two parts between late Friday Feb 7th into Sunday night the 9th. No further details are available at this time. The next NWS briefing package will be issued some time on Monday February 3rd and will focus on the mid-week and end of week storms. I will continue to monitor these events and provide updates as appropriate. J. David Weidner Director, Emergency Preparedness
