INCLUDING THE CITIES OF...NEWTON...JIM THORPE...STROUDSBURG
348 PM EDT MON OCT 24 2005

...FIRST SEASONAL SNOW POSSIBLE TONIGHT OR TUESDAY NIGHT...

A STORM SYSTEM DEVELOPING OVER THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL BRING
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA FROM TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY
NIGHT. MOST PRECIPITATION FROM THIS STORM WILL BE IN THE FORM OF
RAIN. HOWEVER NORTH WINDS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE STORM COULD PULL
IN ENOUGH COLD AIR TO CHANGE THE RAIN TO SNOW AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS
IN THE POCONOS BY LATE TONIGHT. AS THE STORM DEPARTS TO THE
NORTHEAST ON TUESDAY NIGHT MORE COLD AIR WILL BE PULLED IN FROM
THE NORTH... WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL SNOW OVER THE
POCONOS AND SNOW OVER FAR NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY AS WELL.

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

ANY SNOW THAT FALLS WILL BE VERY WET AND HEAVY AND...ALONG WITH
GUSTY NORTH WINDS...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.
