...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO
12 PM EST FRIDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A WINTER
STORM WARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO
12 PM EST FRIDAY. THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT. 

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

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

PRECIPITATION FROM THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AS SNOW
THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER... AS WARMER AIR SLOWLY MAKES ITS WAY
NORTH... SNOW IS EXPECTED TO MIX WITH...AND CHANGE OVER TO SLEET
AND FREEZING RAIN TONIGHT. 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 TONIGHT. 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED, 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 WARNING HAS THEREFORE BEEN ISSUED FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

SNOW MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN WILL 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 IN AREAS
WHICH EXPERIENCE PROLONGED PERIODS 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 WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW...
SLEET...AND ICE ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE.
