...FROST ADVISORY TONIGHT...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ HAS ISSUED A FROST
ADVISORY FOR TONIGHT. THE FIRST FROST OF THE SEASON IS EXPECTED
TONIGHT OVER EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AND OVER
NORTHERN NEW JERSEY. 

A COLD FRONT HAS MOVED SOUTH OF THE REGION LAST NIGHT. THIS HAS
ALLOWED CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A CHILLY AUTUMNAL
AIRMASS TO BUILD OVER THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES.

TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN COOL TODAY AND THEN DROP TO THE 30S TONIGHT
UNDER CLEAR SKIES WITH LIGHT WINDS. ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES AT THE
OBSERVING SHELTER MAY STAY ABOVE FREEZING IN MANY AREAS...THE GROUND
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BELOW FREEZING ALLOWING FROST TO FORM.

AS THE CHILLY AIR APPROACHES, IT'S A GOOD TIME TO HARVEST WHATEVER 
IS LEFT IN THE GARDEN THAT MIGHT NOT WITHSTAND THE FROST AND COLD 
TEMPERATURES.  ALSO, BE SURE TO BRING YOUR POTTED PLANTS INDOORS, OR 
COVER THEM.

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REBOUND TO MORE NORMAL LEVELS TOWARD 
THE END OF THE WEEK.
