...SPOTTY FREEZING TEMPERATURES COULD OCCUR LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY 
SATURDAY MORNING AWAY FROM URBAN AREAS...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE SOUTHWARD OUT OF EASTERN CANADA TODAY AND 
TONIGHT...AND BE OVER THE REGION SATURDAY. THE BRISK NORTHEAST WINDS
BETWEEN THE HIGH TO THE NORTH AND LOW PRESSURE OFF THE CAROLINA 
COAST WILL CONTINUE TO BRING A REINFORCEMENT OF COOLER AIR THROUGH 
SATURDAY MORNING, WHEN THE HIGH WILL BE MOVING OVER THE REGION.

SKIES WILL BE CLEAR TONIGHT, AND, AS WINDS LIGHTEN SOMEWHAT 
OVERNIGHT, HEAT WILL RADIATE AWAY FROM THE EARTH'S SURFACE. A FEW 
PLACES, ESPECIALLY THOSE SHELTERED LOCATIONS AWAY FROM URBAN AREAS 
THAT EXPERIENCE VERY LIGHT WINDS, MAY DROP TO NEAR OR JUST BELOW 
FREEZING FOR A SHORT WHILE LATE TONIGHT AND UNTIL AN HOUR OR SO 
AFTER SUNRISE SATURDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL BE LIGHTEST OVER CENTRAL 
NEW JERSEY AND THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN PHILADELPHIA SUBURBS. 
HOWEVER, THE MOST LIKELY AREA FOR ANY FREEZING TEMPERATURES IS 
THOUGHT TO BE IN THE PINE BARRENS OF INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, 
WHERE THE SANDY SOIL IS AN EFFICIENT RADIATOR OF HEAT.

ALTHOUGH THE GROWING SEASON HAS HARDLY BEGUN, THOSE CONCERNED ABOUT 
TENDER VEGETATION MAY WISH TO INSURE THAT THEY ARE COVERED OR 
BROUGHT INDOORS.

IF WINDS BECOME LIGHT OR EVEN CALM LATE TONIGHT, THEN TEMPERATURES 
MAY BE COLDER FOR SEVERAL HOURS, AND A FREEZE WARNING MAY NEED TO BE 
ISSUED. STAY TUNED FOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.
