for our region. so we have to watch. still a lot of things as far as the tracking the time willing, and what exactly we do see for the threat. but will stay cold. average high 50, 51, won't even see the 50's probably at least a week and a half at this point, maybe longer, have to depends, see how the pattern sets up. poconos are loving this. taking advantage of the colds arctic air in place, big boulder cranking out the snow, with this forecast, coming up, no problem staying open until april if they want to. with ideal snow making conditions and the potential for some more natural snow. so here are the headlines, looking on tap on the menu, extended arctic blast, talking highs stuck in the three's, pretty much for the next seven days or so. like i said, not even close to 50 degrees for awhile. so feels like the middle of winter, january, actually much colder, running good 20 degrees below average, and we have to watch the potential nor'easter threat for next week specially monday night into tuesday at this point. so here is the set up. just like last weekends, if you remember, saturday, we had the jet stream dropping to the south, still a lot of cold air in canada, deep snow pack, able to seep southward, that's a trough, dip in the jet stream stay in place over the jet stream the next few days. colds air isn't going anywhere. that's why. time it out with the nor'easter potential, easy chance to see snow for part of the region. nineteen in cherry hill, 23 in the capitol city of delaware at this hour. swedesboro coming in at 20 degrees. so cold everywhere. look at that, teens now showing up 16 degrees, 18 malvern, gets cooler the further north you g mount pocono checking in at 7 degrees, half the battle. we have the winds can be kicking up, windchill values are

afternoon hours. here's what's happening. not much. cold flow coming in out of the northwest, lake effect snow showers, central bucks and pennsylvania, have sunshine today, few clouds build up for the afternoon, system to the south and west, that passes by to the south. through the weekends. so no threat of any precipitation today or tomorrow. here is the set up. yesterday's storm moving across northern atlantic ocean, high pressure builds back in for later today into tomorrow. that locks in dry, pushing the storm system to the south. then we watch the next disturbance come in off the pass i can i can sunday, by moon day afternoon central us, tries to develop a coastal storm. that's likely on the carolinas, later monday night into tuesday. so tuesday threat, likely we will see some heavy snow for parts of the area where that's still the question. all about the track. again, this storm hasn't formed yet, right now, so virtual storm. but even mention any numbers as far as snowfall amount, also going to be watching the potential for rain-snow line. could be sleet/rain mixed in, but nonetheless, high winds expected with any time you get coastal storm. today though windy, cold, partly sunny, 32 degrees, high temperature tonight very cold again at 20. extended forecast, like january, nothing but 30's. we have the snow threat on tuesday. and stays cold all the way through next
