...A PERIOD OF RAIN...SNOW...AND GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO 
THURSDAY NIGHT...

LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES TODAY AND ACROSS NEW  
YORK STATE ON THURSDAY. AS IT TRACKS TO THE EAST, ASSOCIATED 
PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD INTO OUR REGION TONIGHT AND PERSIST INTO
THURSDAY.

AS THE PRECIPITATION STARTS TONIGHT, A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW IS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE DELMARVA AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. NO ACCUMULATIONS ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS THIS AREA AS RISING TEMPERATURES WILL CHANGE ANY SNOW
TO ALL RAIN. FURTHER NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL NEW JERSEY, THE DELAWARE
VALLEY, AND INTO THE RARITAN BASIN, PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO
START AS ALL SNOW, BUT MIX WITH RAIN DURING THE OVERNIGHT. AS
TEMPERATURES WARM, ALL RAIN IS EXPECTED ACROSS THIS AREA BY THURSDAY
MORNING. LITTLE ACCUMULATION IF ANY IS EXPECTED. CONTINUING NORTH AND
WEST INTO BERKS COUNTY AND INTO THE LEHIGH VALLEY, A LONGER PERIOD
OF SNOW IS ANTICIPATED. ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE.
THE SNOW COULD MIX WITH RAIN DURING THE THURSDAY MORNING HOURS. IN
THE POCONOS AND NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY, MOST IF NOT ALL THE EXPECTED
PRECIPITATION WILL FALL IN THE FORM OF SNOW. ONE TO THREE INCHES OF
SNOW IS ANTICIPATED ACROSS THIS REGION.

THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE OUT OF THE ENTIRE AREA BY 
THURSDAY AFTERNOON, ALTHOUGH SOME REMNANT RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS COULD 
OCCUR INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.

AS THE LOW PRESSURE AREA MOVES INTO NEW YORK STATE ON THURSDAY, IT 
WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION. BEHIND THE 
COLD FRONT, TEMPERATURES WILL PLUNGE. BY FRIDAY MORNING, 
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE TEENS TO MID 20S ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. 
WINDS WILL ALSO BE ON THE INCREASE. WEST WINDS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT 
COULD INCREASE TO 40 MPH ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND PERSIST INTO 
THURSDAY EVENING. WINDS CHILLS WILL BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND 
TEENS BY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT.

THE LIGHT SNOWFALL, THE STRONG WINDS, OR THE COMBINATION OF THEM, 
COULD MAKE TRAVELING A BIT MORE DIFFICULT TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY 
FRIDAY MORNING. ADDITIONALLY, ANY WET ROAD SURFACES OR PUDDLES WILL 
QUICKLY FREEZE ON THURSDAY NIGHT...CREATING DANGEROUS PATCHY BLACK 
ICE.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR FAVORITE MEDIA SOURCE 
CONCERNING THIS WINTER-LIKE STORM. IF YOU PLAN TO TRAVEL TONIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT, BE PREPARED FOR POSSIBLE SNOW, ICE AND GUSTY
WINDS. FOR A SAFE ARRIVAL, LEAVE EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR
DESTINATION.
