...COLDEST AIR MASS OF THE SEASON CONTINUES TO PUSH INTO THE 
REGION...

THE COLDEST AIR MASS SO FAR THIS YOUNG METEOROLOGICAL WINTER SEASON 
CONTINUES TO INVADE THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY. 
TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO RISE THROUGH THE 30S TODAY. SOME
LOCATIONS IN THE POCONOS WILL NOT GET TO THE FREEZING MARK. WHAT FEW
40S THERE WILL BE WILL BE CONFINED NEAR THE COAST. WIND 
CHILL FACTORS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MAINLY IN THE 20S. THERE WILL BE
SOME SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES TODAY MAINLY TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF
THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR.

TONIGHT WILL BE THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE SEASON SO FAR AS LOW 
TEMPERATURES DROP BETWEEN 10 AND 20 DEGREES IN MOST PLACES EXCEPT 
FOR LOCATIONS WITHIN PHILADELPHIA AND ALONG THE IMMEDIATE BAYS AND 
SHORE. THERE WILL STILL BE A NORTH TO NORTHWEST WIND. THIS WILL 
DROP WIND CHILL FACTORS INTO THE SINGLE NUMBERS AND TEENS IN ALL 
AREAS. 

LESS WIND IS EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY, BUT TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN 
STRUGGLE TO GET ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK EVEN IN THE 
DELMARVA...SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY AND THE LOCAL PHILADELPHIA 
METROPOLITAN AREA. THE LOWEST TEMPERATURES OF THIS OUTBREAK MIGHT 
OCCUR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS ARE 
EXPECTED.

SOME MODERATION OF TEMPERATURES IS THEN EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE 
WEEK. 

WHILE THE TEMPERATURES ARE NOT RECORD BREAKING FOR THIS TIME OF 
YEAR, THE LACK OF COLD WEATHER SO FAR WILL MAKE THIS OUTBREAK FEEL 
EVEN COLDER. MAKE SURE YOU ARE DRESSED PROPERLY, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR 
WORK INVOLVES SPENDING PLENTY OF TIME OUTDOORS DURING THE NEXT 
COUPLE OF DAYS.
