   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.
