Many locales experienced their first frost of the season early this Morning. Numerous towns dropped to the low-mid 30s across PA, N. NJ and SE NY. The October 7 date is somewhat average for a lot of spots. Ironically, the NJ State Climatologist points to 10-7 as the average date for then Northern climate section (excluding NE NJ). Of course this varies greatly from Sussex to Morris Counties. Some of the cooler temps found were Mount Pocono at 30 degrees and Sussex, NJ as well as Westhampton, LI at 31. The always cold Bradford, PA in the Northwest Mtns of the state dropped down to 24. I think that tonight will be slightly colder everywhere as the center of the highs sits right over the area. Winds should be calm and with slightly lower dewpoints. Look for some widespread frost over interior areas across the Northeast.
