...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND 
EARLY EVENING...
...SHARPLY COLDER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT INTO THE 
WEDNESDAY MORNING RUSH...


A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE LATE 
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. AS IT DOES SO, SCATTERED SHOWERS 
AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS COULD 
PRODUCE SOME STRONG GUSTY WINDS. SMALL HAIL ALONG WITH DANGEROUS 
LIGHTNING ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.

AS THE COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST TONIGHT OFF THE ATLANTIC 
COAST, COOLER AIR WILL MOVE IN BEHIND IT. BY DAYBREAK, TEMPERATURES 
ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S ACROSS NORTHWEST 
NEW JERSEY AS WELL AS THE POCONOS. ELSEWHERE, TEMPERATURES ARE 
EXPECTED TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S. EVEN THOUGH THESE 
TEMPERATURES ARE ABOUT TEN DEGREES BELOW WHERE THEY SHOULD BE, THE 
OCCURRENCE OF FROSTS OR FREEZES ARE STILL CLIMATOLOGICALLY NORMAL.

THE EXPECTED TEMPERATURES ARE NOT ANTICIPATED TO AFFECT THOSE 
REGIONS WHERE THE GROWING SEASON HAS ALREADY BEGUN. BUT CONTINUE 
TO STAY ABREAST OF LATER FORECASTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY IN CASE NEW 
DATA SUGGESTS COLDER TEMPERATURES WITH LONGER DURATIONS.

AFTER A COLD START WHILE WAITING FOR THE MORNING BUS, TEMPERATURES 
ON WEDNESDAY ARE ANTICIPATED TO CLIMB INTO THE 50S AND LOWER 60S 
ACROSS THE REGION. THE WEATHER PATTERN FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY 
SHOULD RETURN US BACK TO MORE NORMAL CONDITIONS OR EVEN ABOVE 
NORMAL.

TONIGHT'S COLD TEMPERATURES, VISIT US ON THE WEB AT:
