THE LATEST FORECAST CONTINUES TO CALL FOR A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW

NORTHERN NEW JERSEY MONDAY MORNING. THE SOUTHERN POCONOS...THE LEHIGH
VALLEY AND NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY ARE THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO
EXPERIENCE SNOW. PERIODS OF LIGHT SNOW COULD THEN CONTINUE THROUGH
THE DAY ON MONDAY...WITH ACCUMULATION UP TO 3 INCHES AT THE HIGHEST
ELEVATIONS. ACCUMULATION OF AN INCH OR LESS ARE EXPECTED FOR LOWER
ELEVATIONS WHERE THE SNOW COULD MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO RAIN IN THE
