A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 12 PM EST FRIDAY. 

SNOW WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON, AND WILL CHANGE TO A
WINTRY MIX OF SNOW, SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN LATE TODAY, TONIGHT
AND INTO FRIDAY.

LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ACROSS GEORGIA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON,
AND IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD, REACHING THE EASTERN
CAROLINAS THIS EVENING, PASS THROUGH NEW JERSEY EARLY FRIDAY AND THEN
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND DURING FRIDAY EVENING.

PRECIPITATION FROM THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AS SNOW THIS
AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, AS WARMER AIR SLOWLY MAKES ITS WAY NORTH, SNOW
IS EXPECTED TO MIX WITH AND CHANGE OVER TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN
TONIGHT. UNFORTUNATELY, WITH SO MUCH COLD AIR LOCKED INTO THE
AREA, A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FROZEN PRECIPITATION RESULTING IN
SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE REGION IS POSSIBLE
TONIGHT. 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED, ALONG WITH MORE THAN A
QUARTER INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION ON EXPOSED SURFACES. THE FACT
THAT MOST OF THIS PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO FALL AT NIGHT OVER
LOCATIONS WHERE THERE IS STILL A DEEP SNOW COVER, RAISES THE
CONCERN FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN. A WINTER STORM
WARNING THEREFORE REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

SNOW MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN WILL MAKE
DRIVING VERY TREACHEROUS IN TIME FOR THE EVENING COMMUTE, AND WILL
BECOME MORE HAZARDOUS ON UNTREATED ROADS OVERNIGHT. IN ADDITION, 
TREES AND POWER LINES WILL BE EXPOSED TO INCREASED STRESS IN AREAS
WHICH EXPERIENCE PROLONGED PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN.

AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WINTER WEATHER
MOVES NORTHEASTWARD INTO NEW ENGLAND ON FRIDAY, NORTHWEST WINDS
WILL BRING IN ANOTHER ROUND OF COLD WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND.
NORTHWEST WINDS ON FRIDAY MIGHT BRING MORE TREE LIMBS AND WIRES
DOWN.

A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW, SLEET, 
AND ICE ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.
THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE.

NOW THAT WARMER AIR IS SLOWLY MOVING NORTH, SNOW HAS CHANGED TO A 
MIX OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN.  UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THE 
PRECIPITATION FALLING AT NIGHT OVER LOCATIONS WHERE THERE IS STILL A 
DEEP SNOW COVER RAISES THE CONCERN THAT IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR THE 
WARM AIR TO REACH THE REGION, THUS A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FREEZING 
RAIN IS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHERN AND UPPER PARTS OF THE 
WARNING AREA. AROUND A QUARTER INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION ON EXPOSED 
SURFACES IS EXPECTED, BEFORE CHANGING TO RAIN IN THE NORTHERN PARTS 
OF THE COUNTY.  

SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN WILL MAKE DRIVING VERY TREACHEROUS TONIGHT, 
AND WILL BECOME MORE HAZARDOUS ON UNTREATED ROADS OVERNIGHT. 

AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WINTER WEATHER
MOVES NORTHEAST INTO NEW ENGLAND ON FRIDAY, NORTHWEST WINDS WILL

A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 12 PM EST FRIDAY. 
THE SNOW THAT HAS MOVED INTO THE AREA HAS CHANGED TO A WINTRY MIX OF 
SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA IS EXPECTED TO 
MOVE NORTHEASTWARD, REACHING EASTERN VIRGINIA AROUND MIDNIGHT 
TONIGHT, AND THEN PASS THROUGH NEW JERSEY EARLY FRIDAY BEFORE MOVING 
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND DURING FRIDAY EVENING.

NOW THAT WARMER AIR IS SLOWLY MOVING NORTH, SNOW HAS CHANGED TO A 
MIX OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, WITH SO MUCH COLD AIR 
LOCKED INTO THE AREA, A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FROZEN PRECIPITATION 
RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE REGION IS 
POSSIBLE TONIGHT. AROUND 1 INCH OF SNOW HAS FALLEN, AND MORE THAN A 
QUARTER INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION ON EXPOSED SURFACES IS EXPECTED. 
THE FACT THAT MOST OF THIS PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO FALL AT 
NIGHT OVER LOCATIONS WHERE THERE IS STILL A DEEP SNOW COVER, RAISES 
THE CONCERN FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN. A WINTER STORM 
WARNING THEREFORE REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN WILL MAKE DRIVING VERY TREACHEROUS TONIGHT, 
AND WILL BECOME MORE HAZARDOUS ON UNTREATED ROADS OVERNIGHT. IN 
ADDITION, TREES AND POWER LINES WILL BE EXPOSED TO INCREASED STRESS 
IN THOSE AREAS THAT EXPERIENCE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN. 
THE MORNING COMMUTE MIGHT STILL BE VERY HAZARDOUS, ESPECIALLY IF 
YOUR TRAVEL TAKES YOU ACROSS UNTREATED ROADS IN HIGHER TERRAIN 
LOCATIONS. UNNECESSARY DRIVING SHOULD BE POSTPONED UNTIL TRAVEL 
BECOMES EASIER.

AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WINTER WEATHER
MOVES NORTHEAST INTO NEW ENGLAND ON FRIDAY, NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
BRING IN ANOTHER ROUND OF COLD WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND. NORTHWEST
WINDS ON FRIDAY MIGHT BRING MORE TREE LIMBS AND WIRES DOWN.

A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SLEET AND ICE 
ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS UPGRADED THE
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO A WINTER STORM WARNING ITS IN EFFECT
UNTIL 5 AM EST FRIDAY.

SNOW HAS CHANGED TO A WINTRY MIX OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN, AND 
WILL THEN CHANGE TO ALL RAIN BEFORE IT ENDS FRIDAY MORNING. THE 
WINTER STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR MAINLY THE NORTHERN SECTIONS 
OF CHESTER...MONTGOMERY...BUCKS...SOMERSET AND HUNTERDON COUNTIES.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA IS EXPECTED TO 
MOVE NORTHEASTWARD, REACHING EASTERN VIRGINIA AROUND MIDNIGHT 
TONIGHT, AND THEN PASS THROUGH NEW JERSEY EARLY FRIDAY BEFORE MOVING 
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND DURING FRIDAY EVENING.

NOW THAT WARMER AIR IS SLOWLY MOVING NORTH, SNOW HAS CHANGED TO A 
MIX OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN.  UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THE 
PRECIPITATION FALLING AT NIGHT OVER LOCATIONS WHERE THERE IS STILL A 
DEEP SNOW COVER RAISES THE CONCERN THAT IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR THE 
WARM AIR TO REACH THE REGION, THUS A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FREEZING 
RAIN IS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHERN AND UPPER PARTS OF THE 
WARNING AREA. AROUND A QUARTER INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION ON EXPOSED 
SURFACES IS EXPECTED, BEFORE CHANGING TO RAIN IN THE NORTHERN PARTS 
OF THE COUNTY.  

SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN WILL MAKE DRIVING VERY TREACHEROUS TONIGHT, 
AND WILL BECOME MORE HAZARDOUS ON UNTREATED ROADS OVERNIGHT. 

AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WINTER WEATHER
MOVES NORTHEAST INTO NEW ENGLAND ON FRIDAY, NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
BRING IN ANOTHER ROUND OF COLD WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND.
 
A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SLEET AND ICE 
ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING, IN THIS CASE AROUND A QUARTER OF AN
INCH OF ICE IS EXPECTED.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
339 AM EST THU DEC 15 2005

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)...
WILL BE UPGRADING WINTER STORM WATCHES TO WARNINGS IN THE LEHIGH
VALLEY, SOUTHERN POCONOS, AND NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY, AND GOING
WITH AN ADVISORY IN CHESTER/MONTGOMERY/BUCKS/HUNTERDON/SOMERSET
COUNTIES. WARNINGS WILL BE MORE FOR ICE ACCUMULATION SINCE SNOW
TOTALS SHOULD BE WELL UNDER 6 INCHES EXCEPT PERHAPS IN THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF CARBON/MONROE/SUSSEX COUNTIES. LOW PRESSURE OVER
THE GULF COAST STATES IS GETTING ITS ACT TOGETHER AND IS SHOWING
GOOD DEVELOPMENT ON THE LATEST IR SAT IMAGES (AND AS PREVIOUSLY
ADVERTISED). THIS LOW IS PROGGED TO MOVE NORTHEAST TO EASTERN VA
BY 06Z FRI, THEN THROUGH EXTREME EASTERN PA AND WESTERN NJ FRIDAY
MORNING, REACHING INTERIOR NEW ENGLAND BY FRI AFTERNOON. THIS
TRACK IS A TAD FURTHER WEST THAN PERVIOUS RUNS WHICH SHOULD BRING
IN WARMER AIR A LITTLE MORE QUICKLY. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE VERY COLD
TEMPERATURES (SINGLE DIGITS TO LOW TEENS AT PRESS TIME), AND GIVEN
THE SNOWPACK ON THE GROUND, THE ATMOSPHERE WILL TAKE LONGER TO
HEAT UP THAN WHAT MIGHT OCCUR OTHERWISE. PERHAPS THE DAY SHIFT
CAN MAKE SOME FINAL FINE-TUNING ADJUSTMENTS TO AMOUNTS WHEN THE
12Z RUNS COME IN, IF WARRANTED.WITH THE FAST EXIT SPEED OF THIS LOW,
WILL MAKE A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ENDING TIME OF THE
PRECIPTATION IN THE GRIDS. OTHERWIZE, NO WHOLESALE CHANGES. WILL
REISSUE THE SPS FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE PHILADELPHIA
METRO AREA FOR FROZEN PRECIP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EVENT, BUT WITH NO
MAJOR PROBLEMS EXPECTED THERE.

GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DEPARTING LOW AND THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING IN FOR
THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND WILL CREATE BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS
MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA BEGINNING LATE FRI MORNING, AND CONTINUING INTO
FRIDAY EVENING. HOWEVER, WIND SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE WELL BELOW
ADVISORY/WARNING CRITERIA.

&&

.LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
FAIR AND SEASONABLY COLD TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FOR
THE WEEKEND, AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES AND OFF THE
COAST OF SOUTH CAROLINA ON SUNDAY. FAIR WEATHER IS ALSO EXPECTED
FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE NEW WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM
THE PLAIN STATES.

&&

.AVIATION...
THE HIGH PRESSURE IS ON ITS WAY OUT THIS MORNING WITH LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING OVER THE GULF STATES. SKIES CONTINUE WITH MID/HI LVL MOISTURE
ADVECTING IN AND ITLL BE QUITE SOME TIME BEFORE CONDITIONS CHANGE
FROM VFR. JUST ABOUT ALL AREAS TO SEE LOWERING CLDS THIS AFTERNOON
FROM THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST AND PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF SNOW
WILL BEGIN COUPLE HOURS BEFORE DINNERTIME. AT THAT POINT RAPID TRANSITION
FROM VFR TO MVFR/IFR WILL OCCUR BEFORE MIDNIGHT. PRIMARY CONCERN FOR
PILOTS W/B THE POTENTIAL FOR ICE. FREEZING LVL AT LGA WILL BE 2
HUNDRED FT BY 00Z AND UP TO 35 HUNDRED BY 06Z. AT PHL 11 AND 76
HUNDRED FT IN SAME TIME PERIOD. WIND WILL BECOME E TO SE AT THE
SURFACE. AS THE LOW APPROACHES BY 06Z WINDS AT 80H ARE SSE-S AT
60KTS. SOME WINDSHEAR CONCERNS APPROACHING MIDNIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
MORNING HOURS WILL HAVE WINDS LES THAN 15 KT AND SEAS 4 FT OR LESS.
AS THE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES AWAY, AND THE DEVELOPING LOW APPROACHES
FROM THE SOUTH, THE WIND GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN UP THIS AFTERNOON
OVER THE LOWER COASTAL WATERS, THEN WORK NORTH INTO NEW YORK HARBOR.
A BRIEF PERIOD OF STORMY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP WITH GALE FORCE
WINDS FROM THE SOUTHEAST WITH WINDS GUSTING TO 45 KT AROUND
MIDNIGHT. SEAS WILL BUILD QUICKLY TO 9 OR 10 FT. THE LOW WILL TRACK
INTO NORTHERN NEW JERSEY BY FRI MORNING. THE LOW IS RATHER SMALL SO
A REVERSAL IN THE WIND DIRECTION WILL OCCUR BEFORE SUNUP FRIDAY
BLOWING FROM THE NW WITH WINDS REACHING 30 KT DURING THE DAY
FRIDAY, THEN GRADUALLY DECREASING BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES MAINTAINING AN OFFSHORE
WIND INTO THE WEEKEND.

TIDAL DEPARTURES WILL REACH ABOUT 1.5 FT ABOVE NORMAL PLACING US IN
THE MID POINT OF MINOR TIDAL FLOWING. ADDED ROUGHNESS OF THE SEAS WILL
ENSURE THAT AT LEAST ONE HIGH TIDE WILL REACH MINOR TIDAL FLOODING
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.
