CHILL READINGS WILL RISE ABOVE ZERO IN ALL AREAS EXCEPT IN THE
MOUNTAINS WHERE IT WILL STILL FEEL BELOW ZERO EVEN THIS AFTERNOON.

POCONOS AND NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY...WITH SINGLE DIGIT READINGS ABOVE
ZERO THROUGHOUT THE REST OF SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW
JERSEY...AND ALSO IN NORTHEAST MARYLAND AND NORTHERN DELAWARE.

WIND CHILL READINGS REPRESENT WHAT THE BODY SENSES FOR THE
COMBINATION OF WIND AND TEMPERATURES. WITH READINGS OF 10 TO 20 BELOW
