A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM EDT
FRIDAY. 

A COASTAL LOW HAS SPREAD SNOW OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND RAIN AND
SNOW IN THE VALLEYS ACROSS THE REGION. ACCUMULATIONS OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN THROUGH THIS EVENING SHOULD AVERAGE 1 TO 3 INCHES
WITH VALLEY LOCATIONS AVERAGING LESS THAN AN INCH. THE GROUND IS
STILL RELATIVELY WARM AND MOST OF THE ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR ON
NON PAVED SURFACES AS WELL AS SOME BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES.

BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL LEAVES ON THE TREES, OVER SOME OF THE
HIGHEST TERRAIN, SOME LIMBS MIGHT COME DOWN FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE
SNOW AND CAUSE WIDELY SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES.
 
AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES FARTHER OFFSHORE THE INTENSITY
WILL LESSEN OVERNIGHT AND ACCUMULATING SNOW SHOULD COME TO AN END
DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY WITH TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 4
INCHES.

MOTORISTS SHOULD WATCH FOR SLIPPERY TRAVEL OVER THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. SOME BRIDGES AND
OVERPASSES MIGHT BECOME SLIPPERY AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN AROUND OR
JUST BELOW FREEZING TONIGHT.
 
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW...SLEET...OR
FREEZING RAIN WILL CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR
SLIPPERY ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE
DRIVING.
