Snowfall moving out as Arctic air moves into region

Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for most of the region until the early afternoon Friday as snow makes its way out the area, and the cold hangs around for a little while longer.

A fast moving cold front helped drop temperatures overnight, allowing expected rain to turn over to a wet snow.

The storm will move from northwest to southeast, and snow will start spreading into the Philadelphia area by 5 a.m. It should around noon for most, with the steadiest snowfall coming between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m.

Accumulating snow is a possibility, especially on grassy surfaces since the pavement is still pretty warm. Most of the area is only looking at about 1-3 inches of snow, or less, with the exception of the Poconos, where they could see upwards of three inches.
