... MAJOR WINTER STORM POSSIBLE ACROSS CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA ON MONDAY...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO SUNDAY... AND MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD MONDAY. THIS WILL SPREAD A SWATH OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA MONDAY... WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SNOW OVER MUCH OF THE REGION.

THE TRACK OF THE STORM SYSTEM IS STILL UNCERTAIN. IF IT MOVES ALONG OR JUST OFF THE COAST... MUCH OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA COULD SEE SNOWFALL IN EXCESS OF 6 INCHES. A TRACK MORE INLAND WOULD MEAN THAT SOME SOUTHEASTERN AREAS COULD MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO SLEET OR RAIN.

THIS STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON TRAVEL ACROSS CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA ON MONDAY....
