...WINTER IS COMING BACK...

OUR BRIEF RESPITE FROM WINTER WEATHER WILL END ABRUPTLY AS A VIGOROUS
COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION FROM WEST TO EAST TUESDAY MORNING. RAIN
AND RAIN SHOWERS AHEAD OF THIS FRONT WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA
OVERNIGHT. A CHANGEOVER FROM RAIN TO SNOW WILL OCCUR QUICKLY AS COLD
AIR RUSHES IN BEHIND THIS FRONT DURING TUESDAY MORNING/S COMMUTE. A
RUMBLE OF THUNDER IS ALSO POSSIBLE. BY THE TIME PRECIPITATION COMES
TO AN END LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON, 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND ADJACENT AREAS OF NORTHERN NEW JERSEY.

WHEN THE SNOW FIRST STARTS TO FALL TUESDAY MORNING, IT WILL BE SLOW
TO ACCUMULATE COURTESY OF THE WARM GROUND FROM MONDAY/S 60 DEGREE
TEMPERATURES. FOR THE SAME REASON, SNOW WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO
ACCUMULATE ON AREA ROADWAYS DURING THE MORNING HOURS. HOWEVER, WITH
TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE UPPER 20S AND LOW 30S ON NORTHWEST
WINDS BLOWING AT 25 TO 35 MPH, THE ENVIRONMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE
WILL COOL DOWN QUICKLY. BY NOON, SNOW WILL BE ACCUMULATING. BLOWING
AND DRIFTING OF SNOW SHOULD BE EXPECTED TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WITH THE
COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS AND COLD TEMPERATURES, WIND CHILL VALUES
ARE EXPECTED TO DIP INTO THE TEENS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, THEN INTO THE
SINGLE DIGITS TUESDAY NIGHT.
 
SNOW IS EXPECTED TO END LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON OR EARLY TUESDAY
EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT AND THE ASSOCIATED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE TUESDAY NIGHT,
BUT COLDER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH A
GOOD PORTION OF THE WEEK.
