My Final Call: Snow on the way for Saturday Into Saturday Night.

My Final Call:
Snow Event for Saturday 1/30/10
Issued:Friday: 1/29/10 @ 7:00 PM

My Final Call for The Delaware Valley Region.

Please see my previous write-up from yesterday for a full discussion on this event. I'm going to bump up the snowfall totals from my preliminary thoughts yesterday. As I've been expecting, the northward trend continues with this storm. A shift of 50-75 miles north looks like a good bet. Snow will now fall further north over much of SE PA into Central NJ. Even the NYC area and Long Island, could see a Coating to perhaps 1" from this storm tomorrow evening.

Light snow will move into DE and Southern NJ during the late morning and the early afternoon hours on Saturday, and continue into the evening hours. A few periods of light snow can be expected during the afternoon and evening hours across SE PA, PHL, and into central NJ. Some light snow and flurries can also be expected for NE NJ into NYC and L.I during Saturday evening.

SE PA, including PHL and Central NJ :
A few periods of light snow during the afternoon and evening hours. I'm forecasting a Coating to 2". the higher amount of near 2" mainly towards PHL and central NJ coast.

Northern DE into much of Southern NJ:
Light snow can be expected from near midday Saturday, into the evening hours.
A general 2" to 4" can be expected.

Extreme Southern NJ (Cape May Co), and Central/Southern DE :
Light snow from the later Saturday morning becoming moderate at times from the late afternoon into Saturday night.

A general 4" to 7" can be expected in these areas. The highest amounts of 6" or 7" will be mainly over Southern DE.
