...SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A THUNDERSTORM INTO THE EVENING...
...SHARPLY COOLER WEATHER EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT...

A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING WILL CONTINUE TO
TRIGGER SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THE STORMS
COULD BRING LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND PONDING OF WATER IN LOW LYING
AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS COULD STILL OCCUR. UNLESS THUNDERSTORMS MOVE
OVER SIMILAR LOCATIONS...STREAM AND SMALL RIVER FLOODING IS NOT
ANTICIPATED. THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT SHOULD END BY EARLY THIS EVENING
ALTHOUGH SHOWERS COULD LINGER UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT...ESPECIALLY NEAR
THE COAST.

MUCH COOLER AIR...FIRST ALOFT...THEN NEAR THE SURFACE...WILL WORK ITS
WAY INTO THE REGION ON TUESDAY. THE COLD AIR ALOFT WILL AGAIN MAKE 
OUR AIR MASS UNSTABLE AND SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP. AS 
COLDER AIR MOVES IN TUESDAY NIGHT...TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO 
DROP CLOSE TO IF NOT BELOW THE FREEZING MARK IN PARTS OF 
NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY. A FREEZE WARNING 
MAY BECOME NECESSARY IN AREAS WHERE THE GROWING SEASON HAS BEGUN. 
ELSEWHERE IT WOULD BE WISE TO HOLD OFF FROM PLANTING FLOWERS OR 
VEGETABLES THAT ARE SENSITIVE TO COLD WEATHER...AS WE ARE STILL
WITHIN THE NORMAL CLIMATOLOGICAL SEASON FOR THE OCCURANCE OF FROSTS
AND FREEZES.

A QUICK MODERATING TREND IS EXPECTED FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK.
STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLET FOR
FURTHER UPDATES.
