...WET SNOW IS EXPECTED IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS TONIGHT...

PERIODS OF RAIN CONTINUED IN THE POCONO REGION AND IN SUSSEX COUNTY, 
NEW JERSEY THIS AFTERNOON.  TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM THE UPPER 30S 
IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS TO THE MIDDLE 40S IN THE VALLEYS.

TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO DROP TONIGHT AND THE PRECIPITATION 
SHOULD CONTINUE.  THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE TO WET SNOW IN THE 
HIGHER ELEVATIONS, MAINLY ABOVE 1500 FEET.  LOCATIONS BETWEEN 1000 
AND 1500 FEET WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE A MIX OF RAIN AND WET SNOW.  
THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD REMAIN ALL RAIN IN THE VALLEYS.

THE SNOW MIGHT ACCUMULATE FROM ONE TO THREE INCHES IN THE HIGHER 
ELEVATIONS.  WITH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO DROP INTO THE LOWER 30S 
IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, THE SNOW MAY BEGIN TO ACCUMULATE ON ROADS 
AND WALKWAYS CREATING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS.

IF YOU WILL BE DRIVING, THE SNOW WILL REDUCE YOUR VISIBILITY ALONG 
WITH CREATING SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS.  IF YOU WILL BE TRAVELING 
ALONG INTERSTATE 80 OR INTERSTATE 380 THROUGH THE POCONO REGION, BE 
PREPARED FOR LESS THAN IDEAL DRIVING CONDITIONS TONIGHT.

AFTER SOME LINGER SNOW SHOWERS IN THE MORNING, TEMPERATURES ARE 
FORECAST TO RISE INTO THE 40S ON WEDNESDAY AND ANY SNOW THAT 
ACCUMULATES SHOULD MELT RATHER QUICKLY.
