Yes, could you hear the winds last night and knew how low those temperatures, were and it was just a really uncomfortable night. It continues to be a very uncomfortable morning, too. But it is bright beautiful and the moon is gorgeous, so if your window is situated, that you can see the moon, then look out. But if you dont have to go out, dont do it. Center city philadelphia, looks really really nice, at least first part this morning. The sun will be out too. So it is a bright day today with no clouds over us, one of the reasons that these temperatures bottomed out as they have. We will be finding bright, Beautiful Day all day long, tonight clouds move in little later on, then watch the next storm system start to come into this area. Well detail all of that. Thirteen in trenton right now 15 degrees in philadelphia, wilmington, 15 millville, 18 in wildwood, 15 degrees in atlantic city. These numbers are just chilling, even just to look at them, to be out in them, oh, just terrible. High pressure moves away right now, and then we will be waiting a day that after being calm today and it is calm for the first part of the day on sunday. We watch another storm system start to come in here. And it bridges variety of precipitation types. Anything from rain, to snow, and sleet, and ice. So depending on where you are i think it will be different. There are storm watches in effect in fact in some cases in our area. But they stretch all the way from the midwest. Look at des moines, and then you move overthrew the philadelphia area, and you find that they are well to the north and west of us. But it is through the Lehigh Valley and the poconos that that winter storm watch goes into effect and that is going to be as we go through sunday evening, until monday afternoon. Heres generally what we expect now. As i say every Weekend Storms evolve even when youre in them, but this is what it looks like right now that we, on sunday, on into monday, would be getting mainly snow. This is from the Lehigh Valley, points north some snow and rain, little sleet possibly mixed in through philadelphia mostly rain to the south. So much of new jersey and delaware would be in that. Now, amounts, coating to an inch maybe through south jersey, one to three through the philadelphia suburbs north, and to our south and east. And then three6 inches going into the upper bucks area. Get newspaper allentown and the poconos and you can be dealing with 6 inches plus of snow. So the higher amounts the higher up you go. Snowfall totals, we all love this. This is how it looks through 1 00 oclock in the morning on monday. And it says not much. Not even a inch of snow. None of the models think that that will be happening. But they start to make a little bit after departure by 2 00 on monday, the gfs says that we have just about an inch of snow. The euro says 5 inches. And the other two which ended up being the right ones for that last storm system, they put it at about 3 inches of snow and on sunday, but theyre saying not even a inch of snow through philadelphia. But again the euro says 5 inches, the gfs says one. I think generally you could say one to 3 inches through the philadelphia area. And some ice amount, as well, and thats as go through allentown, and quakertown, and maybe even in doylestown, and possibly out in reading, as well out of this system. So we will time this thing out as fast as we k i know were running out of time here. But i am show this. 3 00 we start to see it maybe tomorrow afternoon to the north, then as we go through time, look at this, it is rain through the southern areas on sunday evening little mix through philadelphia snow to the north and we watch that line move. But we get little wrap around snow also, coming up after that. So, let us see what we are dealing with. And that is that weve got some cold, cold, cold weather. Ill be showing you that eyewitness weather seven day forecast just know that we are dealing with temperatures are going to be very, very cold. And take a look at them. As we go through the week, they are up and down. Look at the bottom numbers. So sun today then wet weather later tomorrow, and on monday.
