Strong-upward vertical motion continues to produce thunderstorms across our region.
First we will hit the power outages. The latest outage maps are beginning to show a noticeable increase in power outages across New Jersey. This will become more and more of an issue as the wet snow piles up. The wet snow, ice, and sleet on the trees makes for the perfect combination. Our area has pine trees which love to come down in these conditions. Wires may become buried in the snowfall, so please be careful. I already saw some video of this tonight on our local stations.
Snowfall rates continue to be ranging from one to four inches per hour. Less down towards Cape May. We are starting to see the back-edge of this storm, but this is still several hours away from Philadelphia.
Windy conditions also continue. Winds continue to be sustained between 15 and 25 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH. This is causing near-blizzard conditions.
Considerable blowing and drifting snow will be likely on Thursday.
