...A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION IS POSSIBLE LATE IN THE WEEK IN 
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND IN NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW JERSEY...

LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG THE CENTRAL GULF COAST ON 
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  IT IS THEN EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD AND UP 
THE EASTERN SEABOARD ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.  THE LOW SHOULD BRING 
SOME PRECIPITATION TO OUR REGION BEGINNING LATE ON THURSDAY AND 
CONTINUING INTO FRIDAY MORNING.

THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH COLD AIR IN PLACE TO RESULT IN A WINTRY MIX 
OF PRECIPITATION IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND IN NORTHERN AND CENTRAL 
NEW JERSEY.  IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE MIXED PRECIPITATION COULD 
CHANGE TO ALL RAIN IN EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND IN 
CENTRAL NEW JERSEY ON THURSDAY NIGHT.  MEANWHILE, THE SNOW, SLEET 
AND FREEZING RAIN MIGHT LINGER INTO FRIDAY MORNING IN NORTHERN NEW 
JERSEY, THE POCONOS, THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND BERKS COUNTY, WHERE A 
SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATION OF ICE IS POSSIBLE.  THE MIXED 
PRECIPITATION MAY ALSO PERSIST INTO FRIDAY MORNING IN THE UPPER 
PARTS OF BUCKS COUNTY AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY, AS WELL AS IN NORTHERN 
AND WESTERN CHESTER COUNTY.

AT THIS TIME IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE GREATEST IMPACT OF THE 
APPROACHING WEATHER SYSTEM MAY BE ITS POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE AN 
ACCUMULATION OF ICE.  TRAVEL CONDITIONS COULD DETERIORATE RATHER 
QUICKLY AS UNTREATED ROADS BECOME ICE COVERED AND SLIPPERY.  ICE 
COULD ALSO BEGIN TO BUILD UP ON TREE LIMBS AND UTILITY LINES 
RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD POWER OUTAGES.

IF YOU LIVE IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, OR IN NORTHERN OR CENTRAL NEW 
JERSEY BE SURE TO CHECK FOR UPDATED FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS OVER 
THE COMING DAYS.

...RAIN IS POSSIBLE LATE IN THE WEEK IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY AND ON 
THE UPPER DELMARVA...

LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG THE CENTRAL GULF COAST ON 
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  IT IS THEN EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD AND UP 
THE EASTERN SEABOARD ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.  THE LOW SHOULD BRING 
SOME PRECIPITATION TO OUR REGION BEGINNING LATE ON THURSDAY AND 
CONTINUING INTO FRIDAY MORNING.

FOR SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE AND NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND THE 
PRECIPITATION SHOULD FALL MAINLY IN THE FORM OF RAIN.  HOWEVER, THE 
RAIN COULD BEGIN AS A PERIOD OF WET SNOW FROM LATE THURSDAY 
AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY EVENING, ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, 
NORTHERN DELAWARE AND EXTREME NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND.  AT THIS TIME 
IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ANY SNOW ACCUMULATION WOULD BE LIMITED.  HOWEVER, 
KEEP IN MIND THAT THE WET SNOW WOULD BE OCCURRING DURING THE EVENING 
COMMUTE ON THURSDAY.

IF YOU LIVE IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE OR NORTHEASTERN 
MARYLAND BE SURE TO CHECK FOR UPDATED FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS OVER 
THE COMING DAYS.
