And meanwhile in our country weve got parts of the Mississippi River near record levels. Weve got very unusual sets of tornados in the plains states and in the deep south. Weird stuff going on. Weve got snow and sleet coming for some. One of the weird things is, we havent had any in any part of the area, really, so far this season. Were tracking some heavy rain, looks like its going to affect the morning rush and a cold new year out there. We have cloudy skies now, visibility is fine. We have a few sprinkles in parts of the area. 43 degrees now, the wind is east at 15 miles an hour, and it feels like its in the 30s. Weve got the wind chills back. Temperature itself is still 40 degrees at allentown, pottstown, westchester, trenton has a long way to go to get down to 32 and probably lower than that because the roads have been warm because the air has been so warm. Mount pocono 30 degrees, and 41 in mount holly and glassboro, 43 degrees in millville. Some of these places, all these places were in the 60s yesterday, thats why were 20 to 25 degrees colder than at this time yesterday.

Driving possible late tonight, first thing in the morning. Berks county is going to be marginal for any kind of significant threat because even though theres likely to be sleet here, its going to be hard to get the temperature down actually to the freezing, below the freezing mark. We have to keep an eye on it, because that pink is sleet. And if the temperatures gets down low enough, youve got an issue. Thats mostly toward midnight, because its going to warm up towards day break. Another area of heavy rain back to the west. Lets see what happens hour by hour, the temperatures obviously go down into the 30s. In allentown, doylestown, and then maybe even near the freezing point.

M. , temperature keeps going up. Here comes more heavy rain right in the middle of the rush, but temperatures are now in the 50s and plenty warm in the lehigh co valley. Look at that, 68 degrees in dover. So were going to see that is a 24degree temperature contrast across the area at the same exact time tomorrow. So what do we see for the rest of the night . Rain develops, little bit of a wintery mix farther to the north, generally north of i78, temperatures rise 48 in philly and rise to 35 north and west by day break. Heavy rain in the morning, then kind of warm in the afternoon, theres the temperature contrast, 50 to the north, 70 to the south for the high temperatures.
