...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 AM EST FRIDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS UPGRADED THE
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO A WINTER STORM WARNING ITS IN EFFECT
UNTIL 5 AM EST FRIDAY.

SNOW HAS CHANGED TO A WINTRY MIX OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN, AND 
WILL THEN CHANGE TO ALL RAIN BEFORE IT ENDS FRIDAY MORNING. THE 
WINTER STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR MAINLY THE NORTHERN SECTIONS 
OF CHESTER...MONTGOMERY...BUCKS...SOMERSET AND HUNTERDON COUNTIES.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA IS EXPECTED TO 
MOVE NORTHEASTWARD, REACHING EASTERN VIRGINIA AROUND MIDNIGHT 
TONIGHT, AND THEN PASS THROUGH NEW JERSEY EARLY FRIDAY BEFORE MOVING 
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND DURING FRIDAY EVENING.

NOW THAT WARMER AIR IS SLOWLY MOVING NORTH, SNOW HAS CHANGED TO A 
MIX OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN.  UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THE 
PRECIPITATION FALLING AT NIGHT OVER LOCATIONS WHERE THERE IS STILL A 
DEEP SNOW COVER RAISES THE CONCERN THAT IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR THE 
WARM AIR TO REACH THE REGION, THUS A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FREEZING 
RAIN IS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHERN AND UPPER PARTS OF THE 
WARNING AREA. AROUND A QUARTER INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION ON EXPOSED 
SURFACES IS EXPECTED, BEFORE CHANGING TO RAIN IN THE NORTHERN PARTS 
OF THE COUNTY.  

SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN WILL MAKE DRIVING VERY TREACHEROUS TONIGHT, 
AND WILL BECOME MORE HAZARDOUS ON UNTREATED ROADS OVERNIGHT. 

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.
 
A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SLEET AND ICE 
ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING, IN THIS CASE AROUND A QUARTER OF AN
INCH OF ICE IS EXPECTED.

FRIDAY...

A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 12 PM EST FRIDAY. 
THE SNOW THAT HAS MOVED INTO THE AREA WILL CHANGE TO A WINTRY MIX OF 
SNOW, SLEET, AND FREEZING RAIN TONIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA IS EXPECTED TO 
MOVE NORTHEASTWARD, REACHING EASTERN VIRGINIA AROUND MIDNIGHT 
TONIGHT, AND THEN PASS THROUGH NEW JERSEY EARLY FRIDAY BEFORE MOVING 
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND DURING FRIDAY EVENING.

SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO FALL ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING. 
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 NOON ON FRIDAY.

SNOW MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN WILL MAKE 
DRIVING VERY TREACHEROUS TONIGHT. IN ADDITION, TREES AND POWER LINES 
WILL BE EXPOSED TO INCREASED STRESS IN AREAS WHICH EXPERIENCE 
PROLONGED PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN. THE MORNING COMMUTE ON UNTREATED 
ROADWAYS WILL BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AT BEST. PLEASE POSTPONE ANY 
UNNECESSARY DRIVING AND LEAVE PLENTY OF EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR 
DESTINATION. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BLANKETS IN YOUR VEHICLE IN THE 
EVENT TRAFFIC STOPS. MAKE SURE YOUR VEHICLE HAS PLENTY OF GAS AND 
BRING A CELL PHONE WITH YOU IF YOU HAVE ONE.

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.
