One or more bands of snow squalls moved east at 50 to 55 mph along the edge of an arctic air mass with the potential to hit parts of eastern Pennsylvania and adjacent portions of New Jersey, including Sussex and Morris counties and areas west of Interstate 95, shows the National Weather Service's office in Mount Holly.

A snow squall along a line extending from Succasunna in Morris County to Sand Brook in Hunterdon County was located at 11:43 a.m., the weather service says.
