...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY EVENING THROUGH
TUESDAY EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a Winter
Storm Watch, which is in effect from Monday evening through
Tuesday evening.

* LOCATIONS...Eastern Pennsylvania, all but far southeastern New
  Jersey, northern Delaware, and the northern portions of the
  Eastern Shore of Maryland.

* HAZARD TYPES...Heavy snow and strong winds.

* ACCUMULATIONS...Potential for storm total snowfall greater than
  6 inches. However, there remains uncertainty in exact totals as
  a sharp gradient will exist between the heaviest snowfall and
  locations where very little snow may occur. Changes to the
  forecast track of the storm can result in substantial changes in
  the total accumulations.

* TIMING...Snow begins Monday evening from southwest to northeast
  across the watch area. Snow will continue on Tuesday with
  potential for transition to a wintry mix or rain southeast of
  I-95. Any wintry mix or rain may transition back to snow
  Tuesday evening before diminishing Tuesday night.

* IMPACTS...Heavy snow may cause significant travel disruptions.

* WINDS...Northeast 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. The
  highest winds should occur southeast of the I-295 corridor.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant
snow...sleet...or ice accumulations that may impact travel.
Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.

Snowfall and ice accumulation forecast maps in addition to
experimental probabilistic snowfall information for the latest
event are available online at www.weather.gov/phi/winter
