SUSSEX-CARBON-MONROE-
INCLUDING THE CITIES OF...NEWTON...JIM THORPE...STROUDSBURG
859 PM EST FRI NOV 9 2007

...AREAS OF RAIN AND SNOW EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT...

LIGHT RAIN AND LIGHT SNOW WILL CONTINUE FALLING TONIGHT ACROSS
CARBON AND MONROE COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA AND IN SUSSEX COUNTY
NEW JERSEY. TEMPERATURES WERE ALSO 30 TO 35 DEGREES.

THROUGH THE NIGHT, THE PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL GENERALLY BE MORE A
FUNCTION OF ELEVATION. AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, THERE WILL BE
MOSTLY LIGHT SNOW, WHILE IN THE VALLEYS, A MIX OF LIGHT RAIN AND
LIGHT SNOW IS EXPECTED. THERE MAY BE AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW
ACCUMULATION, BUT THIS SHOULD OCCUR MAINLY IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

BECAUSE THE INTENSITY OF THE SNOW IS LIGHT AND THE FACT THAT
GROUND TEMPERATURES ARE STILL RELATIVELY WARM, ACCUMULATIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE AND MOSTLY ON VEHICLES OR ON
GRASSY SURFACES. 

ROAD SURFACES SHOULD ALSO BE WET RATHER THAN WHITE, EXCEPT FOR
UNTREATED ROAD SURFACES AT THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS. IN THESE AREAS,
A LIGHT SLUSHY ACCUMULATION MAY DEVELOP.

MOTORISTS ARE URGED TO DRIVE AT A SAFE SPEED AND LEAVE EXTRA ROOM
IN FRONT OF YOU FOR BRAKING. EVEN WET ROADS CAN BE SLIPPERY.
MORE CAUTION SHOULD BE OBSERVED.
