Going to make up for that. Got cloudy skies, had it all day, had it yesterday. Temperatures still above average. 45 degrees, the winds northeast at seven miles an hour. That northeast wind helps to keep those clouds in. And so weve had 45 degrees today, up to 52 tomorrow, 65 degrees on sunday, and then it really plunges early next week.

Do have some showers coming in towards midnight, so a lot of you are going to be sleeping when some of the light showers come in and by tomorrow morning were generally drying out, so most of the day, if not the entire day tomorrow, is likely to be dry and warmer with temperatures getting into the 50s in the philadelphia area and points to the south. Still kind of cool up to the north, but the regular rain, the steady rain, the heavier rain doesnt come until later saturday night, and you can see that coming up from the southwest. Look at this, by sunday morning, it is all over the place. Some of this is very heavy, possible thunderstorms here, you can see even the red, thats as heavy as it gets here, but look how warm, temperatures in the 50s. It is moving out fast, too, limiting any flood threat, and look at that temperature rise in the afternoon. 66 degrees in philadelphia. Its amazing. Cloudy and mild with a chance of some showers late, 40 for the low in philadelphia, 34 north and west, and near the freezing mark in the poconos. Cloudy and milder tomorrow, just a chance of a shower in the morning, but most of the rain comes well after dinnertime tomorrow night, and high temperatures getting above 50 in at least a good bit of the area.

Really nice weather down there during the time of year where they have spring training, its why they go down. We are going to be getting some rain this weekend. Its not a total washout, but some of that rain is going to be heavy for at least a few hours, but sunday temperatures are going to get into the 60s, record breaking temperatures in parts of the area, buttis wevt two different arctic blasts coming in next week. We continue to see the cloudy skies, cloudy skies yesterday, cloudy today, 45 degrees over the northeast at seven, so very similar to yesterday, temperatures are almost identical, too. Were just above the freezing mark in mount pocono and that temperature is going to be critical tonight as late precipitation moves in. Other areas well above freezing are going to stay well above freezing, and so were just talking about some light rain or showers later on tonight. Temperatures range up to the mid 40s in parts of the area. Average high once again is 40. Its cloudy everywhere. But we dont have any radar returns until we get a little bit to the west and some of that in the form of snow in central pennsylvania is mostly in the Higher Elevations and those are the areas that could potentially see just a little bit of snow or some freezing rain as we go through the generally late evening, toward midnight. You can see 5 00 its still well above freezing and even at 11 00, mount pocono is above freezing. The rest of us are just as warm all night as during the day today. Tomorrow is cloudy, milder, generally dry. Thats the best day to avoid this stuff. Sunday morning, we get up early, its going to be raining hard, and as you can see in the future weather computer some of the red here could be seeing some thunderstorms at 7 00 a. M. Some of you might get woken up early with it, but look how warm it gets. And once this moves through, thats the morning rain, so in the afternoon its going to be mainly dry, and its going to be incredibly warm. Maybe a couple of showers, but sunday afternoon is going to be a little bit different than you would expect in the middle of january. As far as the amount of rain, this is kind of the average of the computer models, a half inch to an inch, so yeah we got heavy rain for a few hours and maybe some local ponding on the roads, but kind of widespread flooding because everything is moving pretty quickly. Cloudy and mild with a chance of showers late tonight, generally towards midnight or later, 40 for the low in philadelphia, 34 north and west. Then tomorrow another cloudy day, we could see a couple of showers in the morning, but most of the day is dry. Its milder than what weve seen the last couple of days, getting above 50 degrees from philly southward, then on sunday it gets ridiculously warm. Look, sunday morning the low is 52, then we go up to 65. With the morning rain, some of it heavy, then we get into the 60s, maybe a shower in the afternoon. The arctic blast comes monday. Temperature drops 30 degrees. With the wind its going to feel 40 degrees colder. Thats a drop. Then another arctic blast on wednesday when we may see some snow showers where it gets even colder.

In northfield, im Ted Greenberg, nbc 10 news. I love talking to people about how they pick their numbers, right . There is a strategy, a lot of people have their own way when it comes to picking the numbers. If youre looking to win the largest jackpot in u. S. History, heres what you can do to increase your odds. A mathematics professor says your odds are slightly better if you let the computer choose the numbers rather than choosing yourself. I know you say what, how can that be. Well, its because when people use birth dates or other favorite numbers they generally choose numbers 31 and under and that ignores the fact that there are 69 numbered balls. How much does buying multiple tickets help . Heres a breakdown of that math. If you have a 1 in 292 million chance of winning with one ticket, then you have ten times the odds if you buy ten tickets, but the probability is still incredibly small. You could buy all possible number combinations, but at 2 a ticket, thats going to cost you 584 million, so after the taxes youd end up losing money there. Thats not going to work.
