...STRONG WINDS AND COLDER TEMPERATURES ON THE WAY...

LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTHEAST CANADA TONIGHT 
AND CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY. A COLD FRONT DRAPED SOUTHWARD FROM THIS 
STORM WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION THIS EVENING. GUSTY WINDS 
ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE COLD FRONT ITSELF. COLDER AIR WILL THEN 
OVERSPREAD THE REGION LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY.

FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT, WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST 
AND INCREASE IN SPEED. SUSTAINED WINDS LATE TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY 
ON SATURDAY IN THE 20 TO 30 MPH RANGE, WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH 
ARE EXPECTED. THESE WIND GUSTS MAY BE ENOUGH TO BRING DOWN SOME TREE 
BRANCHES, ESPECIALLY WITH ANY WEAKENED TREES. DOUBLE CHECK AND 
SECURE OUTDOOR ITEMS SUCH AS HOLIDAY DECORATIONS, TO KEEP THEM FROM 
BLOWING AROUND. USE CAUTION SATURDAY IF TRAVELING, ESPECIALLY IF 
DRIVING A HIGH PROFILE VEHICLE OR ON BRIDGES OR OVERPASSES.

ALONG WITH THE STRONG WINDS SATURDAY, CHILLY TEMPERATURES WILL 
SETTLE IN, PRODUCING WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE 20S AND 30S FOR MOST 
AREAS. SOME SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE 
POCONOS, NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY AND PARTS OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY AS WELL 
LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY WITH LITTLE OR NO SNOW ACCUMULATION. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR 
FURTHER UPDATES.
