...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY MORNING 
WITH LOCALLY STRONG WIND GUSTS AND SHOWERS...
...MUCH COLDER WEATHER WILL FOLLOW FOR THE WEEKEND...

DELIGHTFUL SPRING-LIKE WEATHER TEASED THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON,
AND EVEN PRODUCED A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE AT MT. POCONO WHEN THE
THERMOMETER REACHED 55 DEGREES. BUT, THE CALENDAR SAYS FEBRUARY
AND MID-WINTER TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN OVER THE THE NEXT 48
HOURS.

LOW PRESSURE OVER THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY WILL MOVE TO THE EASTERN
GREAT LAKES TONIGHT, AND CONTINUE TO THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY
FRIDAY. THE ATTACHED COLD FRONT WILL BLAST THROUGH THE REGION
FRIDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH ONLY A QUARTER OF AN INCH OF RAIN OR LESS
WILL OCCUR WITH THIS FRONT, THE BIGGER STORY COULD BE LOCALLY
STRONG WIND GUSTS JUST AHEAD OF AND ALONG THE FRONT. LOCALIZED
AREAS, ESPECIALLY OVER HIGHER TERRAIN AND EXPOSED LOCATIONS, COULD
EXPERIENCE WIND GUSTS NEAR 40 MILES AN HOUR FRIDAY MORNING. THERE
COULD EVEN BE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM AS THE FRONT MOVES BY.

IN ADDITION, STRONG WESTERLY THEN NORTHWESTERLY WINDS BEHIND THIS 
COLD FRONT WILL BRING MUCH COLDER AIR TO THE REGION FRIDAY AFTERNOON 
AND ESPECIALLY FRIDAY NIGHT. THE WIND GUSTS FRIDAY AFTERNOON COULD
REACH TO 35 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR.

FARTHER NORTH, INTO THE POCONOS AND EXTREME NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY,
SUSTAINED WIND WILL BE 30 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS REACHING 50 MPH.
A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THOSE AREAS. 

BE PREPARED FOR A RETURN TO WINTER TEMPERATURES. DRESS FOR THE
COLD WEATHER THIS WEEKEND, AS TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 20S AND
30S FOR HIGHS, AND IN THE TEENS AND EVEN SINGLE DIGITS FOR LOWS.
SUNDAY APPEARS AS IF IT WILL BE THE COLDER DAY OF THE WEEKEND.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLET, FOR FURTHER UPDATES.
