SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1121 AM EDT MON OCT 24 2005

NJZ001-PAZ054-055-241730-
SUSSEX-CARBON-MONROE-
INCLUDING THE CITIES OF...NEWTON...JIM THORPE...STROUDSBURG
1121 AM EDT MON OCT 24 2005

...A FEW INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS...

A STORM SYSTEM DEVELOPING OVER THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL BRING
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. MOST
PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN...HOWEVER NORTH WINDS ON
THE BACK SIDE OF THE STORM COULD PULL IN ENOUGH COLD AIR BY LATE
TONIGHT TO CHANGE THE RAIN TO SNOW AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS IN THE
POCONOS AND FAR NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY. 

THE EXTENT OF THE COLDER AIR IS UNCERTAIN...BUT IF SNOW DOES
DEVELOP IT COULD ACCUMULATE FROM 3 TO 5 INCHES AT THE HIGHEST
LOCATIONS IN CARBON AND MONROE COUNTIES...AND 2 TO 4 INCHES IN
SUSSEX COUNTY NEW JERSEY. LOWER ELEVATIONS...BELOW 1OOO FT...WILL
LIKELY SEE JUST RAIN.

ANY SNOW THAT FALLS WILL BE VERY WET AND HEAVY AND COULD EASILY
BRING DOWN TREE LIMBS THAT ARE STILL COVERED WITH FOLIAGE. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA FOR UPDATES
AND POSSIBLE ADVISORIES FOR THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION.
