Now your nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz. Well, been in the 60s three days in a row, but that is all over with because weve got wind and weve got falling temperatures. Cold, gusty winds. Were tracking snow coming in thursday night and into friday, but thats not going to last either because we could get into the 70s next week. Some warm weather coming back. The flag still blowing hard, but its not quite as windy as it was a couple of hours ago. The temperature though keeps dropping, 41 degrees. The wind 22, gusting to 37 miles an hour, plus its 14 degrees colder than it was at this time yesterday. And as we go through the afternoon, you can see that its kind of leveling off with the temperature. And with the wind were seeing windchills the way it feels to your skin near the freezing mark. And then take a big drop as we go into the evening. So its going to be feeling like the 20s by later this evening. And thats in philadelphia it will be feeling even colder than that north and west where its only in the 30s right now and probably wont get into the 40s during the rest of the day today. 36 in pottstown and lancaster the cold spots. And the windchills, the way it feels to exposed skin, in the mid 20s north and west. And that is going to continue to go down. Its going to be colder this afternoon, at least the way it feels, than it did earlier this morning perhaps when you got up. 40mileanhour gust at mt. Pocono, 30 to 40mileanhour gust pretty uniform across the area. And pretty uniform sunshine across the region. Were watching way out to the west for the next system to be affecting us. Its going to take a little while. You can see on the futurecast just starting to show up on the map. And thats tomorrow morning. By tomorrow afternoon were still dry. So no threat for tomorrow afternoons rush. But then as we go through thursday night and into friday morning, weve got a storm down off the coast. And it should be cold enough for snow across much of the area, right into the morning rush on friday. And even perhaps into the afternoon. So were talking about a lot of hours of snow, but temperatures are marginal. And once we get past sunrise friday, thats a powerful march sun out there to fight against any snow trying to stick on roads. Theres thursday morning. And were in the 20s. And during the afternoon its not that warm. Were only in the 30s. So its plenty cold enough for snow as we go into thursday night and friday morning. But watch what happens here for the friday morning rush. Temperatures very marginal. And farther to the south its well above freezing. To the north and west where there may be a little bit less snow, the temperatures a little bit lower. But some snow should be falling during much of the morning rush across much of the area. And that darker blue indicating heavier snow. So if theres a potential for a good amount of accumulation, even if its just on the grass, it might be in central delaware, up into south jersey, because that will be closer to the center of the storm itself. Of course more coming later as new data is coming in. Gusty winds and colder this afternoon. Temperatures pretty much the way they are now. Sunny and cold tomorrow. And then the snow comes in later thursday night and into friday. A cold start to the weekend, but then look what happens next week. By next tuesday 66, and we could be 70 by wednesday. Amazing.
