Heres, but we can prepare you for t so heres whats going to be happening. It is another arctic invasion. Weve got cold front coming through tonight. And after that happens were getting an air mass right from the north pole. Thanks, santa claus. Yes, thats going to happen tonight, and tomorrow. But, in the meantime, right now, we have made it to 20 degrees. In philadelphia. Probably only gained ten more degrees before the day is through. 6 degrees in lancaster, 13 in pottstown 17 in dover. Whopping 21 degrees in wildwood. So if you think it is cold right now oh, just wait tomorrow high of 17 degrees after the combed front comes through, friday, we wake up to new record low temperatures, but zero friday morning. Record for friday morning the 20th is 1 degrees so if we reach that projected low of zero well have new record for that date. Then during the day even with sunshine, we only get to high of 18 degrees. Over the weekend gets little bit milder, get some rain actually on sunday, back to cold weather by tuesday.
