The National Weather Service says periods of snow Thursday may make travel hazardous at times. The best chance for daytime accumulations of 1 to 4 inches is over the high terrain from near Reading northeastward to the Poconos and northern New Jersey north of interstate 78. Snow may briefly change to rain during midday.

The National Weather Service rates confidence in this storm as a bit above average.

Scattered snow squalls are expected Friday that if occur would make hazardous travel in a few locations because of suddenly hanging road conditions and briefly poor visibility.
