Well get a little bit of everything record highs rain and some snow before were done. Wow. Storm tracker6 live double scan shows you that the rain currently is beginning to move out as we take a look at that two dimensional overhead view. A couple sprinkles around reading. In Northampton County and points north theres the possibility of any little sprinkle coming through freezing up on road surfaces. Just cold enough up there in some spots for that to happen. Additional rain in harrisburg and gettysburg on the way. Mainly dry right now including up and down the Delaware River around chester at the Commodore Barry bridge. Temperatures also on the mild side in most neighborhoods. 45 degrees in philadelphia. We have slipped into the upper 30s in wilmington and trenton and were down to 34 in allentown. Again, up in here is where you might have a little freeze upbetween now and say 10 oclock. 49 degrees, no problem along the lines of freezing in millville. Same thing in cape may at 46 degrees so milder the farther south you go. There goes the rain that we had a little bit earlier. Future tracker6 shows you that by about 9 oclock there will be another batch getting ready to push in and through the morning, up until 11 oclock and beyond we do have off and on showers, some of them could be steady. Then we get past about 1 oclock and we really start to dry out. The rest of the afternoon just looks mostly cloudy. A High Temperature up in allentown today, not bad, 50 degrees, mostly cloudy with periods of rain especially through about midday or so. Down the shore same story, rain up until about midday and then 56 degrees with mainly cloudy skies after that. And in philadelphia were going to go for a high of 60 this afternoon, wow, cloudy and mild, periods of rain up until about 1 oclock. After that less and less rain so you can probably get out and get stuff done in the afternoon with very mild conditions. And overnight we only dip to 55 and while were allowing for a spotty shower, there overall really isnt that much rain. Then tomorrow 63 degrees. That will tie a record if we hit it set back in 1925. However, look how it is pushing away from us. Later in the afternoon and evening the temperatures are going really plunge in a hurry and by overnight thursday its going to get back into the 30s, cold enough to produce some snow. This a weird forecast. So, thursday morning at 5 00 a. M. Look for it to be snowing just about everywhere. And that snow probably gets off the coast by about 1 oclock. Now, because its so mild, the two previous days, the snow initially may have a hard time sticking to road surfaces but i would still allow for the potential for slippery conditions particularly since most of the models right now are calling for anywhere from 3inches to maybe up to about five. Now, these models may be overselling that a little bit but this far out even a couple of days out, obviously still a lot of disagreement in the models and kind of hard to hone in on exactly whats going to happen. I think you can tell from this though that this is probably going to be more of a minor snow versus a major event. But again, the thursday in the overnight hours into about noon thats your time period for the snow. 60 degrees cloudy with rain at times today. Drier in the afternoon p63 tomorrow, some sun with the clouds, very mild. And then temperatures plunge overnight to 34 and we do have that chance of snow straight up until about midday thursday. Thursday afternoon we dry out and then were stuck with cold conditions friday, thursday and friday highs of 35 degrees brisk probably feeling like its in the 20s. But Mother Nature of course has no idea what she wants to do this winter so how about 49 on saturday and 52 on sunday . Ill take it. Whatever she wants, she can have. Shes going have it either way.
