...GENERAL PRECIPITATION WAS ENDING BUT AREA ROADWAYS COULD BE
SLIPPERY TONIGHT...

THE STORM THAT BROUGHT FREEZING RAIN, SLEET, AND SNOW WAS PULLING
AWAY FROM THE AREA EARLY THIS THURSDAY EVENING. TEMPERATURES OVER
THE NEARBY NORTHERN AND WESTERN PHILADELPHIA SUBURBS NORTHWARD TO
THE RARITAN VALLEY IN CENTRAL NEW JERSEY WERE SLIGHTLY ABOVE
FREEZING AT EARLY EVENING, BUT WILL BE DROPPING TO AROUND OR JUST
UNDER THE FREEZING MARK TONIGHT. AREAS FURTHER NORTH IN
NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY AND EAST-CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA WILL REMAIN BELOW FREEZING TONIGHT. SO, AREA ROADWAYS
WILL LIKELY BECOME MORE SLIPPERY TONIGHT AS TEMPERATURES DROP,
ESPECIALLY FOR UNTREATED SECONDARY ROADS.

ALTHOUGH THE STEADY AND GENERAL PRECIPITATION WAS ENDING, THERE
COULD BE SOME WIDELY SCATTERED PRECIPITATION TONIGHT AS WELL. THIS
MAY TAKE THE FORM OF SNOW FLURRIES OR EVEN DRIZZLE OR FREEZING
DRIZZLE. ANY SCATTERED LIGHT PRECIPITATION WOULD WORSEN TRAVEL
CONDITIONS.

MOTORISTS ARE URGED TO CONTINUE TO USE EXTRA DOSES OF CAUTION
TONIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. ALLOW PLENTY OF TIME TO ARRIVE
AT YOUR DESTINATION, AND LEAVE LOTS OF ROOM BETWEEN YOUR VEHICLE
AND OTHERS. IN ADDITION, PATCHY DENSE FOG IS LIKELY OVER HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY AND NORTHEASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA, AS THESE AREAS WILL POKE UP INTO LOW CLOUDS TONIGHT.
