...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY CONTINUES INTO THIS AFTERNOON...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS CONTINUED THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY FOR TODAY. THE ADVISORY INCLUDES NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY, 
AS WELL AS THE POCONO REGION, THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND BERKS COUNTY IN 
PENNSYLVANIA.

THE TEMPERATURES ARE SLOWLY RISING TO THE FREEZING MARK BUT THE
POTENTIAL FOR THE AIR TO COOL ONCE THE PRECIPITATION BEGIN IS A
MATTER FOR CONCERN THIS MORNING. THE PRECIPITATION THAT WILL BE
OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TODAY IS COVERING A GOOD
PART OF MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA, AND EXTENDS INTO SOUTH CENTRAL
PENNSYLVANIA. A MIXTURE OF SLEET, SNOW AND RAIN WAS BEING REPORT IN
AREAS TO OUR SOUTH.  

IN THE ADVISORY AREA, THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AS 
SNOW.  THE SNOW IS FORECAST TO MIX WITH SLEET, THEN IT SHOULD CHANGE 
TO RAIN DURING THE COURSE OF THE AFTERNOON. AT MOST LOCATIONS 
THE SNOW AND SLEET SHOULD ONLY ACCUMULATE TO AN INCH OR LESS BEFORE 
THE CHANGE TO RAIN.  IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW 
AND SLEET IS POSSIBLE.

TEMPERATURES MAY REMAIN BELOW FREEZING FOR A TIME AFTER THE CHANGE 
TO RAIN ON MONDAY AFTERNOON.  AS A RESULT, THE RAIN COULD FREEZE 
UPON CONTACT WITH THE GROUND AT SOME LOCATIONS.  DUE TO THE 
POTENTIAL FOR A LIGHT ACCUMULATION OF ICE IN ADDITION TO THE LIGHT 
SNOW AND SLEET THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A WINTER 
WEATHER ADVISORY.

THE ADVISORY INCLUDES THE PENNSYLVANIA COUNTIES OF CARBON, MONROE, 
NORTHAMPTON, LEHIGH AND BERKS.  THE ADVISORY INCLUDES THE NEW JERSEY 
COUNTIES OF SUSSEX, WARREN AND MORRIS.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD RISE ABOVE FREEZING THROUGHOUT THE REGION BY 
MONDAY EVENING. THE RAIN IS FORECAST TO END ON MONDAY NIGHT.
ONCE THE CHANGEOVER TO ALL RAIN OCCURS, THE RAIN MAY EVEN BECOME 
HEAVY AT TIMES AND CAUSE SOME STREET FLOODING IN POOR DRAINAGE
AREAS.

IF YOU WILL BE TRAVELING IN THE ADVISORY AREA LATER TODAY, USE
EXTRA CARE.  UNTREATED ROADS AND WALKWAYS COULD BECOME ICE COVERED
AND SLIPPERY FOR A TIME.
