SNOW IS POSSIBLE FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY DUE TO LOW PRESSURE
THAT IS FORECAST TO TRACK ACROSS VIRGINIA WEDNESDAY NIGHT, AND THEN
OFF THE EAST COAST THURSDAY. 

TWO THINGS ARE IMPORTANT FOR FORECASTING HOW MUCH SNOW COULD FALL
WITH THIS LOW. THE FIRST IS THE TRACK OF THE LOW. THE SECOND IS HOW
FAST THE LOW CAN PICK UP MOISTURE FROM THE ATLANTIC.

IF THE LOW MOVES AS FORECAST...DELAWARE, NORTHEAST MARYLAND, CENTRAL 
AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY AND SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA WOULD BE MOST 
SUSCEPTIBLE FOR POTENTIALLY HEAVY SNOW. AREAS FARTHER TO THE NORTH 
INCLUDING THE POCONOS...LEHIGH VALLEY AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY WOULD 
HAVE LESSER AMOUNTS.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLET FOR THE 
LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.
