we start things off with a look at "skycam 3". you can still tell there are a few left over raindrops out here on the actual camera lens, so it sort of makes for bit of out of focus view of the ben franklin bridge. but anything that is still out there is very, very wimpy in term of any additional precipitation that would be falling here in our area. let's go ahead, take a look how did you last night with snow and the, where it got colds enough that snow had a chance to actually drop down and accumulate. so huff church, and northern new jersey, but outside of our viewing area, but really was locally one of the highest totals we had. new tripoli pick up almost one and a half inches, and couple couple cents of an inch around the rest of the region. here's what's left at this point. it is cold enough that there may be any damp, left over roads that got moisture left on them, they could freeze over perhaps, so you want to watch for maybe some slick spots, also a lot of leaves

that have fallen on the roadway, too, but you can see how this is really making its full retreat at this point. so no additional precipitation in the forecast for us as of today, we will clear out very quickly for sunshine, and this actually ends up being beautiful looking day. the problem is in the wake of this system, you get not just the chill in the air, but also going to be dealing with a chilly wind out of the northwest. so we look at the future feels like, starting off at 7:00 a.m., still will feel like the 20's or the teens in a lot of spots, but notice, even by noon, even by 4:00 p.m., it may not feel any better than the 30's. so particular anily we will hit the mid 40's, that's cold enough for the standards this time of year. again, factor in the winds, of course that's a whole new ballgame. that's what you want to be dress being for, chilly northwesterly wintery winds out there, currently the temperatures 37 at the airport, any precipitation has since long since retreated through the poconos, but coal enough if it were still snowing it, would be just that, snow, meanwhile, we go forward in the forecast, and

still some signs of life on radar, but really starting to dry out at this point. you know, you will have i think some damp leaves on the roads. >> for sure, they can be slippery. >> could be little slick, yes, left over moisture on the roads, has the potential now that the temperatures are dropping down to the lowest, maybe ice over little bit. won't be major ice event, but enough that we can't to gave you a heads up. so be extra careful, just because the system is leaving of course doesn't mean the aftermath issues aren't there necessarily, and that circumstances the aftermath of this system i think maybe come the most notice within it comes to the wind, because that's really going to knock your feels-like temperatures back. so we look at storm scan3, and they are, again, still some activity to report out here. but there really is a back edge to this, pretty much out of here at this point. so we can basically say that we're done with this system. and, as we clear out, we will end one bright sunshine, but the breeze between systems what's going to get us here. and then we end one quiet weather looks like for the better part of the weekends. so we walk you through this pattern, low pressure yields

for high pressure, remember what happens between areas of pressure. you end one that pressure gradient, that can really get that wind cranking and depending which direction it is coming from it could be a warm winds or a cold wind. and because it is a northwest winds, well, you guessed it, it will be a cold wind. soap with the blustery conditions, highs already well below the average by about 10 degrees. and then it may not feel any better than the 30's when you factor in that wind. by tomorrow high pressure settling a little bit more. so the bright sunshine returns, but still cold, at only mid 40's, by sunday more clouds than anything, as a new system begins to develop off to our west, and that will be monday's stormy. so, currently, the winds are not terrible, but again, it is enough because of this cold air mass, to make it feel awfully chilly outside. current temperatures, into the mid 30's, i wouldn't bensalem, cinnaminson, girard college, probably feels no better than the 20's most spots when you factor in the breeze. forty-five is our expected hi, however. we will drop it down later tonight under nice crystal

clear sky to 29 in the city. so, even through the outlying suburbs you might be flirting with 20 degrees, as the night progresses. it will be a coal one, so running that heat on, be safe about it. 44 degrees for tomrrow's high, and again, bright sunshine, more clouds on sunday, and then monday you need the rain gear. looks like next storm primarily steady rainmaker, hint that there may be some mixing on the back edge of this. look at the drop on the thermometer by tuesday after all 39 at best, but at lies the sun already making a return appearance. ukee, back over to you. >> thank if you, katie n sport, the sixers play the rocket tonight in houston it, could be a good thing to get right back at it, and forget that embarrassing lost in dallas last night. noel and carter playing together for the first time. good to see mcw playing first game. season, drivers, slams t first time he touched the ball. nicely done. good to see. but all dallas after that. sixers were down 44-point at half time.

will be still have that sheen to it from overnight weather. so, just give yourselves more time out there. practice extra caution. speaking of, let's talk about the platt bridge for a second. because if you plan to head eastbound on the platt today, we've got closure will set you back from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the eastbound side of the platt, will be closed for making some overhead repairs. so, definitely using the girard point bridge, which otherwise is just 95, is your best alternate throughout that time period in the afternoon. as we take a look at the speed censors, speed censors are great, high up to the 50's, no rush hour just yet. how much, because of the weather, septa's regional rail lines are experiencing system-wide delays at 30th street station due to slippery rales. so plan accordingly for. that will also the river line, having some communication problems yesterday. so today, they are on a saturday schedule, as a result of those communication problems. so, weather really setting us back already this morning, kate. >> i a lot of times these storms roll on out of here. you think okay, we're done with it, no problem, let's get out the door. but a lot of times the
