...WARM TEMPERATURES OF TODAY GIVING WAY TO COLDER TIMES AHEAD...


A STRONG BUT MOISTURE STARVED COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE ENTIRE REGION
EARLY THIS EVENING. AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON, MUCH WARMER 
AIR HAS OVERSPREAD THE ENTIRE REGION ON A GUSTY SOUTHWEST WIND. 
THESE WARMER TEMPERATURES, HOWEVER WILL ONLY BE BRIEF AS COLDER 
AIR FOLLOWS THE FRONT FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK.

DAYTIME AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE 40S AND 50S ON 
WEDNESDAY, WITH THURSDAY BEING THE COLDEST DAY OF THE WEEK. IN FACT 
HIGH TEMPERATURES THURSDAY WILL BE THE COLDEST SO FAR THIS SEASON AS 
THE CORE OF THE CHILLY AIRMASS MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. DURING 
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY THURSDAY NIGHT, MOST AREAS WILL HAVE 
TEMPERATURES BOTTOM OUT CLOSE TO FREEZING. PARTS OF THE POCONOS AND 
NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY WILL MOST LIKELY DROP INTO THE UPPER 20S 
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND AGAIN THURSDAY NIGHT. IF THE WINDS BECOME LIGHT 
AND SKIES COMPLETELY CLEAR DURING THE NIGHT, THEN AREA TEMPERATURES 
WILL BE EVEN COLDER.

CONDITIONS WILL BE BLUSTERY ACROSS THE REGION DURING WEDNESDAY AND 
THURSDAY, WHICH WILL MAKE THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE OUTDOORS FEEL EVEN 
COLDER. DO NOT BE CAUGHT OFF GUARD AS WE TRANSITION INTO THE CHILLY 
AND BLUSTERY WEATHER CONDITIONS. DRESS APPROPRIATELY TO ENSURE THAT 
YOU WILL STAY WARM ENOUGH WHEN SPENDING TIME OUTDOORS.

MILDER TEMPERATURES WILL ARRIVE BACK INTO THE REGION FOR THIS 
UPCOMING WEEKEND.

WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS.
