...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A WINTER
STORM WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT. 

A COMBINATION OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
POCONO PLATEAU FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.
PRECIPITATION SHOULD MOVE INTO THE REGION BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
AS WINDS SLOWLY SHIFT FROM THE SOUTHEAST TO THE NORTHEAST, COLDER
AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION AND INCREASE THE CHANCE FOR
FREEZING RAIN. ICE ACCRETIONS MIGHT REACH A QUARTER OF AN INCH TO
HALF AN INCH ON THE PLATEAU. ANY SLEET ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE
LESS THAN HALF AN INCH. IN THE VALLEYS ENOUGH WARM AIR IS EXPECTED
TO KEEP ICE ACCRETIONS TO LESS THAN A QUARTER OF AN INCH.

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
SLEET...OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS AND MAKE THE NECESSARY PREPARATIONS TODAY.
