...SNOW FALLING ACROSS THE REGION...

A LARGE AREA OF PRECIPITATION IS MOVING INTO THE REGION FROM THE
SOUTHWEST BRINGING SNOW MIXING WITH SLEET THROUGH THIS EVENING.
TEMPERATURES IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ARE IN THE UPPER TWENTIES
TO AROUND THE FREEZING MARK AND ELSEWHERE IN THE LOW TO MID
THIRTIES.

THE SNOW WILL BE OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON WITH THE
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO REMAIN STEADY. ANY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
WOULD BE TWO INCHES OR LESS. THE MAIN CONCERN LATER ON WILL BE
TEMPERATURES RISING ABOVE FREEZING AT WHICH POINT FREEZING RAIN
AND SLEET COULD BECOME A PROBLEM.

TOWARD PHILADELPHIA AND SOUTH, TEMPERATURES WERE WELL ABOVE
FREEZING AND RAIN WAS FALLING.
