...SNOW FOLLOWED BY MIXED PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED FROM LATE SUNDAY
AND MONDAY...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN GREAT 
PLAINS TODAY. THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST AND IT 
SHOULD BEGIN TO SPREAD SOME SNOW INTO EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW 
JERSEY LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY EVENING. 

SNOW SHOULD CONTINUE TO FALL ON SUNDAY NIGHT WITH MOST LOCATIONS 
RECEIVING LIGHT TO MODERATE ACCUMULATIONS. THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE 
THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION PERIOD WITH THIS PROTRACTED WEATHER 
EVENT. HEAVIER AMOUNTS SHOULD FALL FARTHER SOUTH. ON MONDAY MORNING 
PRECIPITATION INTENSITY IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE AND A WINTRY MIX IS 
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REGION. AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM REDEVELOPS 
ALONG THE COAST ON TUESDAY MORNING...PRECIPITATION MIGHT CHANGE BACK 
TO ALL SNOW BEFORE IT ENDS.  

THE PRECIPITATION FROM SUNDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY WILL LIKELY CREATE 
TRAVEL PROBLEMS. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL ISSUE ADDITIONAL 
WEATHER STATEMENTS OVER THIS WEEKEND WITH UPDATED INFORMATION ON THE 
APPROACHING SYSTEM. IF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION EXTENDS FARTHER NORTH 
THAN ANTICIPATED...A WINTER STORM WATCH MAY BECOME NECESSARY LATER 
TODAY.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...YOUR LOCAL RADIO OR TELEVISION
STATIONS...OR YOUR CABLE TELEVISION OUTLET FOR FURTHER DETAILS OR
UPDATES.
