500 AM EST TUE FEB 3 2009

...ONE TO THREE INCHES OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE TODAY...

LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OFF THE COAST OF THE CAROLINAS DURING
THE NIGHT. THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST, PASSING
WELL OFFSHORE OF DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY THIS MORNING. MEANWHILE,
A DISTURBANCE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE WAS MOVING ACROSS THE OHIO
RIVER VALLEY AND IT SHOULD PASS OVER OUR REGION THIS EVENING.

THE TWO WEATHER SYSTEMS SHOULD BRING SNOW TO OUR REGION TODAY.
SNOWFALL RATES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE GRADUALLY THIS MORNING,
WITH THE BULK OF THE SNOW FALLING DURING THE LATE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON HOURS. THE SNOW IS ANTICIPATED TO TAPER TO SNOW SHOWERS
THIS EVENING BEFORE ENDING.

SNOWFALL TOTALS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BY LATE THIS EVENING
IN THE PENNSYLVANIA COUNTIES OF BERKS, CARBON AND MONROE.

THERE WILL BE SOME IMPACT ON THE MORNING COMMUTE, AS LIGHT SNOW
BEGINS TO ACCUMULATE IN MOST AREAS.

THE EVENING COMMUTE WILL BE GREATLY AFFECTED BY THE SNOW. BY
DUSK, MUCH OF THE SNOW SHOULD ALREADY HAVE FALLEN AND SNOWFALL
RATES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN RATHER BRISK INTO THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS.

IF YOU WILL BE VENTURING OUT TODAY, BE PREPARED FOR LESS THAN IDEAL 
CONDITIONS AS ROADS AND WALKWAYS BECOME SNOW COVERED AND SLIPPERY.

IF YOU WILL BE DRIVING, BE SURE TO LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM BETWEEN YOUR 
VEHICLE AND THE ONE AHEAD OF YOU.
