...A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT US TODAY...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EAST OF THE DELAWARE COAST EARLY THIS MORNING 
WILL MOVE NORTHWARD AND RAPIDLY INTENSIFY AS IT PASSES JUST OFFSHORE 
TODAY. RAIN WILL MIX WITH OR CHANGE OVER TO SNOW THIS MORNING. ONE
TO THREE OF INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION IS LIKELY WITH THE BEST CHANCES
FOR SNOW IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. AS THE STORM MOVES FARTHER TO THE
NORTHEAST TODAY, COLD AIR WILL SWEEP INTO THE AREA. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE FALLING TOWARD FREEZING IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN DURING THIS
AFTERNOON AND IN THE EVENING ELSEWHERE. THIS WOULD MAKE FOR
HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES
AND LESS TRAVELED ROADWAYS.

WINDS WILL INCREASE DURING THE DAY, WITH WIND GUSTS REACHING 40 TO 
45 MILES AN HOUR. THESE STRONG WINDS WILL CAUSE SOME BLOWING SNOW 
AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES WHILE IT IS SNOWING.

AFTER THIS STORM SYSTEM, AN ALBERTA CLIPPER MAY PRODUCE MORE SNOW IN 
TIME FOR THANKSGIVING DAY WITH ANOTHER LIGHT ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE. 
MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS ABOUT TIMING, ACCUMULATIONS AND HOW IT MIGHT 
IMPACT TRAVEL PLANS WILL BE ISSUED WITH LATER STATEMENTS TODAY AND 
WEDNESDAY.
