A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 12 PM EST FRIDAY. 

SNOW WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON, AND WILL CHANGE TO A
WINTRY MIX OF SNOW, SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN LATE TODAY, TONIGHT
AND INTO FRIDAY.

LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ACROSS GEORGIA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON,
AND IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD, REACHING THE EASTERN
CAROLINAS THIS EVENING, PASS THROUGH NEW JERSEY EARLY FRIDAY AND THEN
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND DURING 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 THEREFORE REMAINS IN EFFECT 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 NORTHEASTWARD 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.
