Develop homes have no water pressure and six of them still have no heat. Still cold today but hang on. Hang on. Were looking at that big warmup over the next couple days relatively speaking. Storm tracker6 live double scan right now shows we are dry. Taking a look outside we have sky6, the battleship new jersey lit up nice and pretty but pretty cold out there, too and you will want to bundle up once again. Here are the numbers across the region and theyre similar to yesterday. 15 degrees in philadelphia, 15 in wilmington, 13 degrees in allentown, 16 in reading, nine in trenton this evening degreetrenton, 3 degrees inmill. Satellite shows you how there could be some early sun but like yesterday the clouds are going to overtake us fairly quickly. Most of snow you see out by pittsburgh will probably fall apart but well be looking at precipitation coming in through our Northern Tier later tonight and some of that could be of the icy variety. Up in the Lehigh Valley mostly cloudy and then in the evening any time after about 6 oclock or so theres the chance of some freezing rain perhaps a little bit of light snow. 35 degrees is the high there. Down the shore, it looks like its going to be a mainly cloudy day, chilly with a high of 40 degrees and some rain arriving later at night and in philadelphia mostly cloudy with temperatures slowly rising. 38 is going to be your high but we probably wont see that until about 9 oclock tonight so youll be slowly climbing through the 20s and 30s during the day and winds do stay light today out of the southeast at six to 12n terms of precipitation, the latest model run from future tracker6 is holding it off until later tonight but again any time after about 6 00 in northern suburbs including berks county and allentown and the poconos id be on the lookout for some precip. Once it does arrive do slow down because you might see a snowflake but you might see what just seems like rain it could actually be freezing rain. All the way up until 11 oclock that is app possibility up in allentown and even reading. It will probably be changing over to rain in northern bucks and Montgomery County by then if you do see something. And then later in the overnight hours, warm air sweeps up from the south as i said, those temperatures the highs are going to be hit later tonight and overnight well see a changeover to all rain. Our big concern then is for some possible light icing from pottstown through quakertown all the way up through allentown and the poconos starting later this evening and going into the early overnight hours. Cloudy skies overnight in philadelphia with some rain eventually arriving, 37 is the overnight low. Winds picking up a little bit and tomorrow morning well it looks like by the time you get out there you might have wet roads even though the active rain is quickly clearing the coast and then the rest of the day clouds maybe some sunny breaks. And milder air coming. Your exclusive accuweather 7day 38 today, cloudy, light freezing rain is possible in the northern suburbs later today maybe a little bit of light snow mixed in as well at 38 we dont hit until later this evening. Then tomorrow mostly cloudy with rain shutting off quickly. 51 the high. That will be good. But the pick of the week is thursday. Clouds and sun, very mild and a high going all the way up to 60. Then on friday, 53 but there will be a couple of showers around and through the afternoon and evening colder air is going to start marching back so that high of 53 might wind up being kind of early in the day and then it gets cooler later in there afternoon. And back to brisk and cold conditions a high of 38 saturday and perhaps a little wintry mix later saturday. Got you david. Thank you. 5 11 now and stranger danger.
