...A CHANCE FOR SOME FREEZING RAIN EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL MOVE EAST
OVERNIGHT AS ITS PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE OVER THE APPALACHIANS. 
BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION ARRIVES, CLOUDS WILL LOWER AND THICKEN
AND WHAT WEAK WIND THERE IS WILL COME FROM THE SOUTH. THIS SHOULD
KEEP MOST TEMPERATURES NOT THAT FAR FROM THE FREEZING MARK.

THE AIR MASS ALOFT IS COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW. THUS PRECIPITATION
SHOULD START AS LIGHT SNOW. BUT WARM AIR ALOFT WILL COME IN QUICKLY
AND A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOULD BE OCCURRING BY 7 OR 8 AM.
WITH TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO FREEZING, THERE MIGHT BE SOME PATCHES
OF FREEZING RAIN. THE MORE VULNERABLE AREAS WILL BE THE HIGHER
TERRAIN LOCATIONS AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WEST OF PHILADELPHIA WHERE
PRECIPITATION WOULD ARRIVE FIRST. WE ARE STILL NOT CERTAIN HOW
TEMPERATURES WILL RESPOND ONCE THE CLOUDS ARRIVE AND THEY MAY HOLD
ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK AND PREVENT THE CHANCES FOR FREEZING RAIN.

THERE IS GREATER CONFIDENCE FOR SOME FREEZING RAIN AND AN
ACCUMULATING SNOW IN PLACES FARTHER TO THE NORTHWEST WHERE A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT. ANY ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE
LESS THAN AN INCH.

TUESDAY MORNING'S COMMUTE MIGHT BE A SLIPPERY ONE. PLEASE GIVE
YOURSELF A LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION AND LISTEN
FOR FURTHER UPDATES OR ADVISORIES.
