Winter Storm Advisory
2:20 PM Sunday December 13, 2009

...This is not an official National Weather Service product and should not
be confused for an official watch, warning or advisory...

In New York: Putnam, Orange, Rockland, Northern Westchester

In New Jersey: Sussex, Morris, Passaic, Warren, Hunterdon, Bergen

In Connecticut: Litchfield, Northern Fairfield, Northern New Haven

...Winter Storm Advisory in effect through 8pm this evening...

A low pressure system continues to form along a baroclinic zone offshore this

afternoon. A coastal front, separating the onshore flow from a cooler flow, has
developed across the area this evening. A strong ageostrophic flow to the west
of this front has funneled in cold air at the surface allowing temperatures to stay
near or below freezing. Although some temperature rise is forecast, it is expected
that the freezing rain could continue for the next few hours. Travel will be 
hazardous with icy roads and slippery conditions. Those in the advisory area
should prepare for a slow commute this evening.

It is expected that precipitation will come to an end by early this evening, but
low temperatures could continue to support icy conditions, hence the advisory
being issued this afternoon.





...A winter storm advisory means that snow, sleet, and freezing rain will
cause travel difficulties or hazards. Travel may become extremely
hazardous for periods of time. Visibilities may be lowered. Exercise
caution if you must travel during the storm. Stay tuned for more updates...
