...ANOTHER STORM WILL AFFECT THE REGION MONDAY...

A MOISTURE LADEN LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO FORM OVER THE 
SOUTHEASTERN STATES SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS STORM SYSTEM SHOULD INTENSIFY 
AS IT HEADS NORTHEAST ALONG THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD ON MONDAY.

PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN THROUGHOUT THE REGION MONDAY 
MORNING WITH MOSTLY SNOW NORTH OF PHILADELPHIA AND RAIN AND SNOW TO 
THE SOUTH. AS WARMER AIR MOVES NORTH INTO THE REGION DURING MONDAY, 
RAIN BECOMES MORE LIKELY THAN SNOW, ESPECIALLY TO THE SOUTH OF 
PHILADELPHIA. 

THIS STORM WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY QUITE A BIT OF MOISTURE AND THERE 
IS THE THREAT OF HEAVY SNOW OR HEAVY RAIN DEPENDING ON YOUR 
LOCATION. OF COURSE, IF HEAVY SNOW DOES OCCUR, THE BEST CHANCES 
WOULD BE ACROSS THE POCONOS AND NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY. FARTHER TO THE 
SOUTH, THE THREAT SHIFTS TO HEAVY RAIN. 

SNOWMELT THIS WEEKEND WILL INCREASE STREAM FLOWS. ALSO, THE GROUND 
IS EITHER SATURATED OR FROZEN, SO ANY RAIN THAT FALLS WILL RUN OFF, 
THEREBY INCREASING STREAM LEVELS FURTHER. ANYONE LIVING NEAR STREAMS 
OR POOR DRAINAGE AREAS SHOULD MONITOR THE SITUATION CLOSELY AS 
FLOODING COULD DEVELOP WITH THIS SYSTEM. 

STRONG WINDS COMBINED WITH INCREASED TIDAL LEVELS COULD CAUSE TIDAL 
FLOODING ALONG THE COAST.

THE TRACK OF THE STORM WILL DETERMINE WHERE AND HOW MUCH SNOW AND 
RAIN FALLS. YOUR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR 
THE SITUATION AND WILL ISSUE UPDATES AS NEEDED. THIS STATEMENT WILL 
BE UPDATED AGAIN EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.
