...WIND CHILL WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EST FOR THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS...
...WIND CHILL ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EST FOR THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY MAINTAINS A WIND CHILL
WARNING FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF FAR NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY AND
THE SOUTHERN POCONOS AND HAS ISSUED A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR THE
LOWER ELEVATIONS THIS MORNING. 

NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH AND TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 5 BELOW ZERO
AND ZERO OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS EARLY THIS MORNING WERE
GENERATING WIND CHILL VALUES OF AROUND 25 BELOW ZERO. GUSTS OF UP TO
35 MPH WERE MAKING IT INTERMITTENTLY SEEM EVEN COLDER. TEMPERATURES
ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN STEADY OR EVEN DROP A BIT MORE THIS MORNING
AND WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN STEADY OR INCREASE A BIT, SO MORNING
WIND CHILL VALUES OF AROUND 25 BELOW ZERO CAN BE EXPECTED OVER THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS. 

OVER THE LOWER ELEVATIONS, TEMPERATURES AND WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
GENERATE WIND CHILLS AROUND 15 BELOW ZERO THIS MORNING. 

IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTSIDE, PLEASE WEAR LAYERS OF CLOTHING, GLOVES,
AND A FULL FACE AND HEAD COVERING. MINIMIZE THE TIME CHILDREN SPEND
WAITING FOR BUSSES ON THEIR WAY TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING. FROSTBITE IS
A REAL THREAT WHEN YOU ARE EXPOSED TO WIND CHILLS AS LOW AS THEY WILL
BE THIS MORNING. 

ALSO, PLEASE ENSURE THAT ANY PETS YOU KEEP OUTSIDE ARE PROTECTED FROM
THE WIND AND COLD. THEY SHOULD HAVE AT A MINIMUM A STRONG AND WELL
INSULATED SHELTER TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE WIND AND COLD AND ACCESS
TO UNFROZEN WATER. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, BRING THEM INDOORS. IT IS THE
HUMANE THING TO DO.
