...A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR 
THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE POCONOS...

RAIN CONTINUES TO FALL IN THE POCONO MOUNTAIN REGION. THE RAIN OVER 
THE HIGHER TERRAIN IS FREEZING UPON IMPACT WITH THE GROUND. A 
SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM HAS FORMED OVER SOUTHEAST NEW JERSEY 
AND HAS BACKED THE WINDS TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS HAS CAUSED WARMING 
TO STOP WITH SOME TEMPERATURES STILL BELOW FREEZING IN THE HIGHER 
TERRAIN AREAS. AS THE SECONDARY BECOMES STRONGER, THE WINDS SHOULD 
CONTINUE TO COME FROM THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST AND KEEP COLD AIR IN 
PLACE. THESE REGIONS ARE NOW EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW 
THE FREEZING MARK FOR THE DURATION OF THIS EVENT.  

AN ICE ACCUMULATION IN EXCESS OF A QUARTER INCH IS LIKELY BEFORE 
THIS EVENT ENDS TONIGHT.
 
TRAVEL WILL CONTINUE TO BE DIFFICULT THROUGH TONIGHT ON UNTREATED 
ROADWAYS. PLEASE BE WARY OF CHANGING ROAD CONDITIONS AS ROADS WILL 
BE WET IN THE VALLEYS...BUT COULD EXTREMELY SLIPPERY OVER THE HIGHER 
TERRAIN ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS.

A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR ICE IS ISSUED WHEN FREEZING RAIN IS
OCCURRING. ICE ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED ON MOST SURFACES INCLUDING
TREES, POWER LINES AND ROADWAYS.
