...POCKETS OF FREEZING RAIN OVER THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF THE
SOUTHERN POCONOS...

A SPOTTER LOCATED ABOVE 2000 FEET IN MONROE COUNTY OF THE SOUTHERN
POCONOS WAS REPORTING FREEZING RAIN THAT WAS STICKING TO THE TREES
THIS AFTERNOON. ROADS WERE NOT ICING. 

LOCATIONS BELOW 2000 FEET MOSTLY WERE REPORTING TEMPERATURES JUST
ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK, AND TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE
INTO THE EVENING OVER THE SOUTHERN POCONOS. STILL, A PERIOD OF
FREEZING RAIN OVER THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON BEFORE TEMPERATURES RISE ABOVE FREEZING.

TRAVEL MAY BE LOCALLY HAZARDOUS IN THE FEW LOCATIONS WHERE RAIN
FREEZES TO ROADS. IF YOU LIVE OVER THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF
CARBON AND MONROE COUNTIES, PLEASE REMAIN INDOORS INTO THE EVENING
IF POSSIBLE.
