A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. 

SNOW WILL CHANGE TO A WINTRY MIX OF SNOW...SLEET AND FREEZING
RAIN LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED OVER LOUISIANA THIS EVENING IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE NORTHEAST AND REACH ALABAMA THURSDAY MORNING...THE EASTERN
CAROLINAS THURSDAY EVENING AND PASS THROUGH NEW JERSEY ON FRIDAY
ON ITS WAY THROUGH NEW ENGLAND FRIDAY EVENING.

PRECIPITATION FROM THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AS SNOW
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER... AS WARMER AIR SLOWLY MAKES ITS WAY
NORTH... SNOW IS EXPECTED TO MIX WITH... AND CHANGE OVER TO SLEET
AND FREEZING RAIN THURSDAY NIGHT. UNFORTUNATELY... WITH SO MUCH
COLD AIR LOCKED INTO THE AREA... A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FROZEN
PRECIPITATION RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS
THE REGION IS POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT. WHILE IT IS TOO EARLY TO
PREDICT EXACT AMOUNTS... A FEW INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE...
ALONG WITH MORE THAN A QUARTER INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION ON
EXPOSED SURFACES. THE FACT THAT MOST OF THIS PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED TO FALL AT NIGHT OVER LOCATIONS WHERE THERE IS STILL A
DEEP SNOW COVER RAISES THE CONCERN FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
FREEZING RAIN. A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS THEREFORE BEEN ISSUED FOR
THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

SNOW MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN COULD
MAKE DRIVING VERY TREACHEROUS IN TIME FOR THE EVENING COMMUTE AND
WILL BECOME MORE HAZARDOUS ON UNTREATED ROADS OVERNIGHT. IN
ADDITION... TREES AND POWER LINES WILL BE EXPOSED TO INCREASED
STRESS IF THE REGION EXPERIENCES A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FREEZING
RAIN.

AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WINTER WEATHER
MOVES NORTHEAST INTO NEW ENGLAND ON FRIDAY... NORTHWEST WINDS
WILL BRING IN ANOTHER ROUND OF COLD WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND.
NORTHWEST WINDS ON FRIDAY MIGHT BRING MORE TREE LIMBS AND WIRES
DOWN.

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
SNOW...SLEET...OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL.
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS AS THIS EVENT UNFOLDS.
