...WINTER 2007 IS HERE AND WILL STICK AROUND FOR AWHILE...

THE COLD FRONT MOVED OFF THE COAST EARLY THIS MORNING AND NOW IT
IS A MATTER OF INCREASING WINDS WHILE THE TEMPERATURES FALL. THE
TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL CONTINUE TO FALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY AFTER
BEGINNING THE DAY IN THE 60S IN SOME AREAS. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS
WILL ALSO MAKE IT FEEL COLDER. THIS COLD ONSLAUGHT WILL CONTINUE
TONIGHT AS WILL THE STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS. BY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY,
WIND CHILL FACTORS ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND ZERO OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF THE POCONOS AND NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY, AROUND 10 IN THE
LEHIGH VALLEY AND THE REST OF NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY AND IN THE
TEENS ELSEWHERE.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE COLDER THAN 
NORMAL, A RARE EVENT SO FAR THIS WINTER. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BE 
DIMINISHING, BUT WIND CHILL FACTORS STILL MIGHT NOT RISE ABOVE THE 
FREEZING MARK.  

WINDS WILL HAVE DIMINISHED IN EARNEST BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT, WHICH 
HAS A CHANCE OF BEING THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE WINTER SEASON SO FAR. 
A SLIGHT WARMING TREND IS THEN EXPECTED ON THURSDAY BEFORE ANOTHER 
COLD FRONT BRINGS COLDER WEATHER BACK IN AGAIN FOR THE UPCOMING 
WEEKEND. 

IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF WINTERS, THIS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO RECORD 
BREAKING OR UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER. BUT, IN A RELATIVE SENSE IT 
WILL FEEL MUCH COLDER SINCE WE HAVE BEEN IN AIR MASSES MORE 
REPRESENTATIVE OF MARCH AND EARLY APRIL THAN THE DEAD OF WINTER. 
PLEASE DRESS APPROPRIATELY IF YOU MUST SPEND TIME WORKING OR BEING 
OUTDOORS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

THE WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC HAS CHANGED. THIS HAS 
MADE IT EASIER FOR COLD AIR MASSES TO FORM OVER CANADA AND TO AT 
LEAST ENTER THE UNITED STATES. THE LATEST CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER 
SIX TO FOURTEEN DAY OUTLOOK FOR OUR AREA IS CALLING FOR TEMPERATURES 
TO AVERAGE COLDER THAN NORMAL. SO UNLIKE BRIEF SPELLS OF COLD 
WEATHER WE HAVE HAD SO FAR THIS WINTER, THIS ONE IS EXPECTED TO BE 
WITH US FOR A WHILE.
