Winds gusting to 40s in the poconos. 28 miles an hour gust in trent trenton. Pottstown 30. Philadelphia 37. In Atlantic City gusting to 36. Guess what . Because of this intense wind we have a wind advisory in effect through tomorrow for gusts to 50 miles an hour in atlantic, cumberland and cape kay counties in new jersey and through dover, kent county and sussex county, delaware, including milford and also of course georgetown. So were talking about very strong winds. Through the night through the morning into tomorrow evening as well. Ultimate doppler you can see all is dry. But lake epp hansed snow showers off of lake erie, lake ontario when you see that lavender color thats two to 3inches of snow an hour. Just think you could be there. Future wind chills showing by tomorrow morning its going to be brutal. Its going to feel like nine below in the poconos. Six in philadelphia. Five at the bus stop in wilmington and new castle coun county. One in reading. Feel like one in lancaster and even in trenton it will only feel like 4 degrees. It doesnt get much better. The noon hour okay it feels like 12 in pottstown. It feel like 14 in philadelphia. But remember whatever is not covered is going to be very cold because that wind takes that warm layer right away from your skin. Temperatures are going to be in the 30s in the afternoon. But look about 5 00 oclock it feels like its in the teens pitt he much everywhere. Then the snow comes in and our new models are showing it could come in earlier. No problems in the morning. But by the evening, after 7 00 oclock at night, the snow moves in. Its snowing at about 10 00, 11, 12 00 oclock and moves out during the Early Morning hours so its dry in the air for the morning rush but the snow will be sticking very quickly on untreated surfaces.

So kristen, theres a lot of buzz about quarterbacks and the eagles, isnt there. Lucy theres been a lot of talk the eagles should bring in a few quarterback with carson wentz out for the season and some of the names are laughable the second we found out that carson wentz was out for the season yesterday, i got texts from friends asking if the eagles were going to sign Colin Kaepernick. Then i had people tweeting at me asking if the rumors were true and tony romo was coming to philly . Then our sports director tom srendenschek heard a you go at the gym saying Peyton Manning should take over here. Are you kidding me . This is some craze so talk and i need to shut it down. Lets start with Peyton Manning the guy is retired for two yea years. Its let him spend his days wri writing jingles for insurance companies. Tony romo. Im surprised eagles would want a cowboys quarterback. Hes doing a good job in the broadcast booth and he suffered a lot of back injuries. Let him stay in the booth. Finally theres Colin Kaepernick this one has got a lot of traction. You can argue hes a better quarterback but it makes zero sense to bring in a guy who hasnt played professional football in year make him learn a brand new offense on Brand New Team and think he can lead the goals on a deep post season run. Eagles have a quarterback and his name is nick foles. Lucy . [ applause ] thank you. I would stand up, too and applaud more but i got to read this. All
