SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
820 PM EDT MON OCT 14 2002

...CHILLY TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL PRODUCE SOME SCATTERED FROST...

A CHILLY AIRMASS HAS MOVED OVER THE REGION. THIS CHILLY AIRMASS 
COMBINED WITH CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO 
DROP TO 35 TO 40 DEGREES OVER SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA...CENTRAL AND 
SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY...NORTHERN DELAWARE AND EXTREME NORTHEAST 
MARYLAND. 

AS A RESULT OF TEMPERATURES DROPPING TO 35 TO 40 DEGREES...SCATTERED 
FROST WILL ALSO FORM OVER THE NORMALLY COLDER AREAS. HOWEVER...A 
KILLING FROST IS NOT EXPECTED SINCE THE FROST SHOULD NOT BE 
WIDESPREAD AND TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY BE MARGINALLY COLD ENOUGH FOR 
THE FROST TO FORM.

HOWEVER...ANYONE WISHING TO EXTEND THE GROWING SEASON...MAY WANT TO 
PROTECT TENDER VEGETATION. ADDITIONALLY...POTTED PLANTS NORMALLY 
LEFT OUTDOORS SHOULD BE COVERED OR BROUGHT INSIDE AWAY FROM THE COLD.
IF NOT DONE SO ALREADY...BRING IN YOUR TROPICAL PLANTS FOR THE 
SEASON.
