...THE FIRST MEASURABLE SNOWFALL OF THE SEASON IS POSSIBLE FOR 
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN POCONOS AND FAR NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY...

ONE TO TWO INCHES OF SNOW IS A POSSIBILITY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN 
OF FAR NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY AND THE SOUTHERN POCONOS FROM LATE 
FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTH 
FROM DIXIE TO THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL SPREAD PRECIPITATION INTO 
THE REGION IN THE FORM OF RAIN BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT OR FRIDAY 
MORNING, AND THAT RAIN IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE TO SNOW AS COLD 
CANADIAN AIR MOVES SOUTH AROUND A STRONG AND STATIONARY HIGH 
PRESSURE SYSTEM. 

IF THIS SITUATION EVOLVES AS PRESENTLY FORECAST, THIS WOULD NOT BE A 
MAJOR WINTER-TYPE WEATHER EVENT. IT WOULD, HOWEVER, BE THE FIRST 
MEASURABLE SNOWFALL OF THE SEASON, SO PEOPLE IN FAR NORTHWESTERN NEW 
JERSEY AND THE SOUTHERN POCONOS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR DETERIORATING 
TRAVELING CONDITIONS FROM LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY 
NIGHT. 

PLEASE STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO, THE VOICE OF THE NATIONAL 
WEATHER SERVICE, OR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR UPDATES ON THIS 
SITUATION. THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE ON THE 
INTERNET AT WWW.WEATHER.GOV/ER/PHI.
