Good Tuesday morning! While you're waking up, take a look at what's going on and what you can count on learning from LehighValleyNews.com today:

1. Sunny but chilly this morning, with a high of 52 degrees for the day, according to the National Weather Service  at Mt. Holly, NJ. Overnight into Wednesday we are creeping closer to a freeze with a predicted low of 34 degrees.

2. Step out of your comfort zone and take a wrestling class in Coplay. The first class is free. So if you've ever thought about jumping in the squared circle, learn the right way to do it.

3. Seems like a logical idea, but it needs to be said: Leave the bear alone. A male black bear was spotted over the weekend in a driveway in Palmer Township. Let the bear move along, officials say. Your safety could depend on keeping it calm.

4. Did somebody say babies? After a two-year break, Lehigh Valley Health Network held a reunion of its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit kiddos over the weekend and they had a blast!

5. Coming up: The mass casualty incident last week that sent more than 30 people to area hospitals helped bring to the surface a problem that could get in the way of care. LehighValleyNews.com reporter Julian Abraham looks at a problem in dire need of a solution.
