Updated on Friday, March 20, to extend advisory

Defying the advent of spring, a storm system is expected to return snowy weather back to the region on Friday, March 20, the National Weather Service said.

Chester and Delaware Counties are under a winter weather advisory from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday when a high temperature near 35 is expected. The chance of precipitation is 90 percent, with snow predicted to arrive before 5 p.m.

The National Weather Service says accumulations are expected to range from an inch or less over southern New Jersey and central Delmarva to four to six inches in the Poconos and northern New Jersey. Areas of Chester and Delaware counties near the I-95 corridor may receive two to four inches. The late afternoon commute will likely be affected over much of the region.

On Friday night, the chance of precipitation will drop to 80 percent with a low temperature around 29. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch is possible.

By Saturday, the sun should return with a high near 49.
