...MUCH COLDER AND BRISK WEATHER TONIGHT WILL LIKELY BE FOLLOWED BY 
SOME SNOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY... 


AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL SWEEP PAST THE AREA LATE TODAY AND THIS 
EVENING...AND USHER IN ANOTHER ROUND OF THE VERY COLD TO FRIGID 
TEMPERATURES AND LOW WIND CHILLS THAT WERE EXPERIENCED LATE LAST 
WEEK AND OVER THE WEEKEND.

SNOW IS LIKELY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY, AS AN ALBERTA 
CLIPPER LOW PRESSURE CENTER MOVES FROM THE NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY TO 
THE MID ATLANTIC COAST BEFORE LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD AND OFFSHORE 
LATE THURSDAY.

WITH A RAPID MOVEMENT OF THIS WEAK TO MODERATE STORM, COMBINED WITH 
AN INABILITY TO GATHER ABUNDANT MOISTURE, SNOW AMOUNTS WEDNESDAY 
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE HEAVY AT THIS TIME.
BUT, THERE COULD BE ACCUMULATIONS OF A COUPLE OR A FEW INCHES...WITH 
THE HEAVIER AMOUNTS EXPECTED OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF 
THE REGION, FROM PHILADELPHIA SOUTH. HOWEVER, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU 
LISTEN FOR LATER FORECASTS TO SEE IF HEAVIER SNOW IS EXPECTED. MORE 
SPECIFIC FORECASTS WILL BE ISSUED AS WEATHER VARIABLES BECOME 
CLEARER AS THE EVENT NEARS.

MAKE SURE YOU DRESS APPROPRIATELY IF YOU PLAN TO BE OUTSIDE FOR ANY 
LENGTH OF TIME TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO 
EASE A BIT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, BUT IT WILL STILL BE COLD WITH HIGHS 
MOSTLY IN THE TEENS AND 20S. BITTER COLD AND WINDY CONDITIONS ARE IN 
THE OFFING FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...AND THAT COULD TURN OUT 
TO BE THE COLDEST PERIOD SO FAR THIS WINTER.

STAY TUNED TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE VIA NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR 
THE INTERNET(WWW.WEATHER.GOV/ER/PHI) OR YOUR FAVORITE MEDIA SOURCE 
FOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.
