...BACK TO WINTER TONIGHT...

A STORM SYSTEM, MOVING EAST FROM CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA, IS EXPECTED 
TO REACH THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON SUNDAY. THIS STORM IS EXPECTED TO 
DRAW MOISTURE FROM BOTH THE GULF OF MEXICO AND THE ATLANTIC OCEAN 
INTO OUR REGION, RESULTING IN LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. RAINFALL 
AMOUNTS SHOULD AVERAGE BETWEEN ONE-QUARTER TO ONE-HALF INCH, BUT 
AMOUNTS EXCEEDING ONE INCH ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN AREAS WHERE 
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP. THESE RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO 
PRODUCE WITHIN BANK RISES ON MANY OF THE AREAS RIVERS, STREAMS, AND 
CREEKS. NUISANCE ROADWAY FLOODING IS ALSO ANTICIPATED IN LOW-LYING 
AREAS OR WHERE DRAINAGE IS POOR. 

MUCH COLDER AIR WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE AREA TONIGHT BEHIND A 
STRONG COLD FRONT. THIS WILL CAUSE THE RAIN TO CHANGE TO SNOW BEFORE 
TAPERING OFF SUNDAY MORNING. AN ACCUMULATION IS LIKELY, ESPECIALLY 
IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE POCONOS AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY, 
WHERE ACCUMULATIONS COULD REACH 1 TO 3 INCHES. JUST TO THE SOUTH, 
FROM THE NORTHERN PHILADELPHIA SUBURBS AND THE LEHIGH VALLEY 
EAST ACROSS CENTRAL NEW JERSEY, ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2 
INCHES ARE POSSIBLE. EVEN FARTHER SOUTH, ACROSS NORTHEASTERN 
MARYLAND, DELAWARE, THE LOCAL PHILADELPHIA AREA AND SOUTHERN NEW 
JERSEY, ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM A DUSTING TO AROUND 
AN INCH.

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW FREEZING IN MOST LOCATIONS 
TONIGHT. THIS DRAMATIC TEMPERATURE DROP, ALONG WITH THE WET ROADWAYS 
AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ACCUMULATING SNOW, WILL CREATE DIFFICULT  
TRAVEL CONDITIONS. UNTREATED ROADS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME QUITE ICY 
LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. ADDITIONALLY, WINDS WILL BECOME 
NORTH AND THEN NORTHWEST 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45 TO 50 MPH 
WILL CAUSE RESTRICTED VISIBILITIES WHERE IT IS SNOWING. A WIND 
ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT. AS A RESULT OF THE GUSTY WINDS, WIND CHILL 
TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE POCONOS AND 
NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY, AND INTO THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S ELSEWHERE. 

ALONG THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE OCEANFRONT, TIDAL DEPARTURES ARE 
EXPECTED TO INCREASE. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME MINOR 
TIDAL FLOODING AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE SUNDAY MORNING. HIGH 
TIDE ON THE OCEANFRONT WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 8 AND 930 AM. WATER LEVELS 
WILL ALSO BE QUITE HIGH ON THE BACK BAYS, WHERE HIGH TIDE ON SUNDAY 
MORNING WILL OCCUR UP TO 2 HOURS LATER THAN ON THE OCEAN FRONT.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS...OR LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLETS...FOR THE LATEST UPDATES.
