...DANGEROUSLY COLD TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILLS EXPECTED THURSDAY 
NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND... 
...A MODERATE TO SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND...

THE AREA OF LIGHT SNOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ONE TO THREE INCH 
ACCUMULATIONS THE REGION RECEIVED LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY 
EVENING CONTINUES TO MOVE OFF THE COAST. THE ASSOCIATED LOW PRESSURE 
SYSTEM, CURRENTLY OVER LAKE ONTARIO, WILL DRIFT EAST OVERNIGHT, AND 
MOVE OFF THE COAST OF MAINE AS IT STRENGTHENS EARLY THURSDAY 
MORNING. EVEN THOUGH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE WELL NORTH OF 
THE IMMEDIATE AREA, IT WILL HELP TO GENERATE AN INCREASED NORTHWEST 
SURFACE FLOW AND REINFORCE THE COLD AIR ALREADY IN PLACE.

AROUND DAYBREAK ON FRIDAY, LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM 0 TO 5 
DEGREES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN POCONOS. ELSEWHERE, INCLUDING COASTAL 
COMMUNITIES, LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE BETWEEN 10 TO 20 DEGREES. 
WIND CHILLS VALUES AT THE MORNING BUS STOP WILL RANGE FROM 15 BELOW 
TO 10 ABOVE. FRIDAY'S HIGHS WILL CLIMB INTO THE TEENS TO MID 20S, 
BUT WIND CHILL VALUES WILL REMAIN BITTERLY COLD, RANGING FROM 10 
BELOW TO 10 ABOVE. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE EVEN COLDER BY 
SATURDAY MORNING. IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE THAT SOME POCONO AND NORTHWEST 
NEW JERSEY LOCATIONS COULD SEE ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURES DIP BELOW 0. 
WIND CHILL VALUES WILL CONTINUE TO BE DANGEROUSLY LOW AT THIS TIME. 
SATURDAY HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE WARMER THAN FRIDAYS, 
BUT STILL BELOW NORMAL.

BESIDES MONITORING THE COLD TEMPERATURES, THE NATIONAL WEATHER 
SERVICE IS ALSO TRACKING A STORM SYSTEM LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN 
PACIFIC OCEAN. THIS AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DIVE INTO 
THE WESTERN STATES THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS AND BE ON OUR DOORSTEP 
THIS WEEKEND. WITH THE COLD AIR ALREADY IN PLACE, FORECASTING TOOLS 
CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT AT LEAST A MODERATE WINTER STORM COULD 
AFFECT THE IMMEDIATE AREA. WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SEVERAL 
THOUSANDS OF MILES AND DAYS AWAY, TIME IS CURRENTLY ON OUR SIDE. IF 
YOU'VE POSTPONED WINTERIZING YOUR HOME OR VEHICLE, DUE TO THE LACK 
OF SNOW THIS WINTER AND ALMOST SPRINGLIKE TEMPERATURES AT TIMES, NOW 
WOULD BE THE TIME TO DO SO. 

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK THIS FEATURE AND 
PASS ON THE LATEST INFORMATION AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.
