...LIGHT SNOW AND SLEET EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...
...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR HEAVIER SNOW LATE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY 
NIGHT...

A COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE REGION WITH A ONE TWO WEATHER 
PUNCH FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK. THE REGION WILL BE NEAR THE NORTHERN 
FRINGE OF A PRECIPITATION SHIELD FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY 
NIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH A SURGE OF GULF COAST MOISTURE. LIGHT 
SNOW...MIXED WITH SLEET AT TIMES...SHOULD ACCUMULATE AS MUCH AS TWO 
INCHES BY LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON. A WINTRY MIX OF SNOW...SLEET AND 
FREEZING DRIZZLE IS EXPECTED FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY.  IF 
THIS DOES DEVELOP...VERY SLIPPERY CONDITIONS WOULD OCCUR AND WINTER 
WEATHER ADVISORIES COULD BE NEEDED FOR MONDAY NIGHT. 

LATER ON TUESDAY...ROUND TWO OF THIS WEATHER SYSTEM PULLS ITSELF 
TOGETHER AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE QUICKLY DEEPENS OFF THE NEW 
JERSEY COAST.  DEPENDING UPON HOW QUICKLY THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM 
DEVELOPS WILL TELL THE STORY ON HOW MUCH HEAVY SNOW CAN DEVELOP IN 
THE REGION TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THERE IS STILL MUCH 
UNCERTAINTY TO THE TIMING OF THIS EVENT AND HOW MUCH MOISTURE IT 
WILL HAVE...BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL EVENT 
EXISTS. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR
FURTHER STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL WATCHES FROM THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE.
