PHILADELPHIA – Expect snow showers to continue through Monday morning across most of the Delaware Valley as a major winter storm continues to impact the Philadelphia area.
That storm had already dropped 18 inches of snow or more on parts of the area overnight.Â
How much more snow can we expect?Â
FOX 29’s Sue Serio says the snow is expected to continue through at least early Monday afternoon. The snow will taper off from west to east beginning around noon.Â
The National Weather Service also says heavy snow banding will continue through late morning with  snowfall rates of 2″ or greater will continue to be possible during that time.Â
With 18 inches or more having already fallen in parts of the area, those accumulations could continue to grow through the day Monday, making the predicted snowfall total range of 18-24 inches in some areas entirely possible.Â
Parts of coastal New Jersey could see another 4–8 inches through Monday morning and early afternoon. Areas south and west of Toms River could see another 2-4 inches, including Trenton.Â
Most can expect another inch or two through Monday.Â
So far, the highest snowfall totals are focused across New Jersey and parts of southeastern Pennsylvania.Â
