...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 
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTHEAST FROM
THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TO THE MID ATLANTIC COAST HAS SPREAD RAIN INTO
THE REGION THIS MORNING, AND THAT RAIN MAY CHANGE TO SNOW AS COLD
CANADIAN AIR MOVES SOUTH AROUND A STRONG AND STATIONARY HIGH 
PRESSURE SYSTEM WELL TO OUR NORTH. 

IF THIS SITUATION EVOLVES AS PRESENTLY FORECAST, THIS WOULD NOT BE A 
MAJOR WINTER-TYPE WEATHER EVENT...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT GROUND
SURFACES ARE STILL RELATIVELY WARM. 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 THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MUCH OF
TONIGHT. 

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.
