...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EST TODAY...

A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EST TODAY. 

A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND FREEZING RAIN CONTINUES OVER A GOOD PORTION
OF CARBON AND MONROE COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA, AS WELL AS IN
SUSSEX COUNTY NEW JERSEY, EARLY THIS MORNING. WHILE WARMER AIR
HAS BEEN MOVING INTO THE AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS,
TEMPERATURES ARE STILL NEAR THE FREEZING MARK IN MANY LOCATIONS,
ESPECIALLY AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. THIS PRECIPITATION IS
ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING NORTH THROUGH NEW
JERSEY ON ITS WAY TO NEW ENGLAND LATER TODAY. AS THIS LOW MOVES
NORTH, WARMER AIR WILL COME WITH IT, GRADUALLY TURNING ANY
REMAINING POCKETS OF FREEZING RAIN TO PLAIN RAIN LATER THIS
MORNING. UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, THE WINTER STORM WARNING WILL REMAIN
IN EFFECT.

THIS MIXTURE OF RAIN AND FREEZING RAIN WILL MAKE DRIVING TREACHEROUS
THIS MORNING. 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. PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS COULD
ALSO BE A PROBLEM. 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 AND BEYOND... 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.
