7:45pm update: revised snow totals and percentages
Some fine-tuning:
I still see light snow beginning overnight, but temperatures will only rise into the mid-30s, so I think the snow will hang around a bit longer. Look for light snow lingering until 10 or 11am, then rain until about 3 or 4pm, then changing back to snow. In this later period of snow, Berks could see accumulations in the range of 3-6 inches. (Since it appears there will be a shorter period of rain in between the light snow and the heavier snow, the snow accumulations go up--as do our chances of having a snow day.)
Allentown gets mostly snow, accumulating 6-8 inches.
Mostly rain for Philadelphia. Could see 2-4 inches on the back end.
Lawrenceville, New Jersey looks like a rainier solution. 4-6 inches.
Nutley, New Jersey is looking like mostly snow, and a virtually guaranteed snow day. Accumulations in the range of 10-14 inches.
Still seeing historic amounts for Boston: 24 inches or more.
Back to Berks now: travel will become hazardous, starting around 4 or 5pm Friday and extending to late Saturday morning. High on Saturday will be 34 with strong winds and gradual clearing. Low Saturday night will be a frigid 15.
Revised percentages:
Chance of delay Friday, 20%
Chance of cancellation Friday, 60%
Chance of early dismissal Friday, 40%
Still looking like a delay is possible on Monday as well.
Stay tuned for updates!
