...WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY EVENING
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...

THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR 5 TO 9 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE
WATCH AREA WITH A 4 TO 6 INCH POTENTIAL IN NORTHEAST MARYLAND AND
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN DELAWARE.

JUST TO THE WEST OF THE WATCH AREA...4 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW MAY
FALL IN EAST CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND THE POCONOS.

ADDITIONALLY...THE WIND IS EXPECTED TO BECOME STRONG AND GUSTY ON
MONDAY BEHIND THE DEPARTING STORM. WIND GUSTS COULD REACH 35
MPH...WHICH WOULD CAUSE REDUCED VISIBILITIES IN BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW. ALSO...THE STRONG WIND COUPLED WITH TEMPERATURES
HOVERING IN THE 20S WILL MAKE FOR BITTER WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES
ON MONDAY.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE FORECASTS
AND STATEMENTS OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND WITH THE LATEST
INFORMATION REGARDING THE POTENTIAL SNOW EVENT.

TRAVEL COULD BECOME VERY HAZARDOUS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
PLEASE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE NECESSARY PREPARATIONS
FOR A POTENTIAL WINTER STORM.
