...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM FRIDAY TO
4 AM EST SATURDAY...

* WHAT...Heavy wet snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 5 to
  10 inches at elevations above 1000 feet and 2 to 4 inches in
  the valleys are expected.

* WHERE...Far northwestern New Jersey, and the Southern Poconos.

* WHEN...Rain will transition to snow initially along the high-
  elevation ridges in the southern Poconos and far northwestern
  New Jersey between 4 and 8 AM Friday and then closer to midday
  in the valleys. The snow will be heavy at times during the day
  on Friday with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour
  possible. The snow is expected to decrease in intensity later in
  the evening before eventually ending from west to east
  overnight.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Plan on very difficult travel conditions,
  including during both the morning and evening commutes on
  Friday. The combination of strong northwest winds gusting to
  50 mph and heavy snow could create near-blizzard conditions
  with visibilities below one-half mile at times. The heavy, wet
  nature of the snow and strong winds will likely cause damage
  to trees and power lines that will lead to power outages.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Winter Storm Warning for snow means severe winter weather
conditions will make travel very hazardous or impossible. If you
must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your
vehicle in case of an emergency. The latest road conditions for
the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 5 1 1.
