...A WINTER STORM IS POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...

THE PARADE OF STORMS CONTINUES THIS WINTER, AND CURRENT INDICATIONS
ARE SHOWING THIS TREND YET AGAIN FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE THAT BROUGHT THE CURRENT ROUND OF COLD WEATHER WILL
MOVE TO NEW ENGLAND THROUGH MONDAY WHILE LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO
DEVELOP OVER TEXAS SUNDAY AND HEAD NORTHEAST. ONCE THE LOW REACHES
THE GREAT LAKES AREA...A SECONDARY LOW SHOULD FORM OVER NORTH
CAROLINA. THIS SECOND LOW WILL THEN INTENSIFY AND HEAD NORTHEAST
ALONG THE COAST.

COLD AIR IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION AS MOISTURE
MOVES IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST MONDAY NIGHT.

THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE EXACT TRACK OF THESE LOWS.
HOWEVER AT THIS TIME, A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION IS POSSIBLE 
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. WITH THE CURRENT PROJECTED STORM TRACK, 
A GOOD PORTION OF THE REGION COULD SEE FREEZING RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AND THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ICE
STORM. TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF PHILADELPHIA...ENOUGH WARM AIR MAY
MOVE IN FROM THE OCEAN TO ALLOW THE PRECIPITATION TO CHANGE TO PLAIN
RAIN ON TUESDAY.


LATER FORECASTS WILL BE ABLE TO MORE PRECISELY DETERMINE THE TYPE AND
AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR 
FURTHER UPDATES ON THIS DEVELOPING STORM.
