SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
430 AM EST WED JAN 29 2003

...LIGHT SNOW WILL OCCUR TODAY...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING FROM THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES EASTWARD 
THROUGH SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC TODAY WILL DRAG A WEAK FRONT 
THROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES. PERIODS OF LIGHT SNOW WILL OCCUR AS 
THIS FRONT WORKS SLOWLY TO THE SOUTHEAST...AND A COATING TO UP TO
TWO INCHES OF SNOW MAY ACCUMULATE BY MID AFTERNOON ACROSS EAST 
CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA...INCLUDING THE SOUTHERN POCONOS AND INTO
NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY. UP TO AN INCH IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NORTHERN 
AND WESTERN SUBURBS OF PHILADELPHIA AND INTO WEST CENTRAL NEW 
JERSEY. 

SNOW MAY MIX WITH RAIN AT TIMES IN THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN SUBURBS 
OF PHILADELPHIA...GENERALLY SOUTH OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND 
WARREN AND MORRIS COUNTIES IN NEW JERSEY...AS WARMER AIR TRIES TO 
MOVE UP FROM THE SOUTH. THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT DURING THIS 
AFTERNOON WILL CAUSE THE PRECIPITATION TO END.

MOTORISTS SHOULD USE EXTRA CARE WHILE DRIVING TODAY...ESPECIALLY ON 
UNTREATED ROADWAYS.   

ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BE MILDER THAN THE 
PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...EVEN WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED BY THE 
UPCOMING WEEKEND. THE JET STREAM IS BECOMING MORE WESTERLY...AND NO 
ADDITIONAL ARCTIC INTRUSIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY 
NEXT WEEK.
