...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A WINTER
STORM WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING.

LOW PRESSURE OVER KANSAS TODAY WILL MOVE SLOWLY TO THE SOUTHERN
GREAT LAKES THROUGH MONDAY. A WARM FRONT WILL EXTEND EASTWARD FROM
THIS LOW TO THE CAROLINA COAST SUNDAY, AND ANOTHER CENTER OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL FORM ON THIS FRONT AND MOVE NORTHEASTWARD OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS LATER SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. PRECIPITATION
WILL OCCUR OVER OUR AREA AS A RESULT.

AN ONSHORE FLOW IS LIKELY TO DRIVE WARMER AIR INTO THE REGION AT
HIGHER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE, AND SO MIXED PRECIPITATION
INCLUDING SNOW, SLEET, AND SOME FREEZING RAIN IS LIKELY TO
RESULT SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY. LATER SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
SUNDAY NIGHT APPEARS TO BE THE PERIOD WHEN THE HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR.

WHILE DETAILS ON THE TYPES OF PRECIPITATION ARE NOT CERTAIN, SNOW
AND SLEET ARE EXPECTED TO PREDOMINATE IN THE POCONOS AND NORTHWEST
NEW JERSEY. HOWEVER, FREEZING RAIN SNOW AND SLEET ARE EXPECTED OVER
THE REST OF NORTHERN NEW JERSEY AND IN EAST CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA.

THIS MIXTURE OF PRECIPITATION TYPES COULD LEAD TO A DANGEROUS
SITUATION WITH POSSIBLE ICING FROM THE FREEZING RAIN. ALSO, SNOW
AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 5 INCHES COULD OCCUR, WITH 6 INCHES POSSIBLE IN
THE POCONOS. THEREFORE, A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR
THE AREA.

PREPARE NOW FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF DANGEROUS WINTER WEATHER. IF YOU
MUST TRAVEL, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BLANKET, EXTRA GLOVES, WATER, SOME
LIGHT FOOD AND A MEANS OF COMMUNICATIONS IN THE EVENT YOUR GET STUCK.

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
SNOW...SLEET...OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL.
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.
