look. we will hold off on that. instead, perhaps we will get the forecast with carol. one never knows. >> why not. our weather watchers are up early, nicole and they are not too happy from what i'm able to sample from their comments this morning. we have a very nice picture here. this person, ron, out in schwanksville, lovely schwanksville, out there friday at a holiday house with gorgeous lights, he has a terrific looking picture this morning of his two dogs out running around enjoying this really relatively mild morning for us this time of the year. but it seems that a lot of his fellow weather watchers are in the thrill with the weather, at this point. even though temperatures are mile, sam says, that it is much too overcast to go shopping. that excuse is not going to work on christmas morning, thanks very much, sam but come on you have to do better than that. lets move over to dean, dean has a picture which is just terrific this morning and this

is a really nice look but it is a very representative look over the the area with a cloud cover that we're fining over us right new. so we have to continue to monitor some of these clouds this morning and we have a temperature of 38 degrees. and let's see, is frank registering a complaint or not. what happened to the sun. frank, it is up there, it is we have something between us and the sun. lets take a walk, shall we. walk over ben franklin bridge and end up in the weather center and wall, and you can see that we've got some clouds over philadelphia, right now and we've got some clouds in other locations as well. it is 40 degrees with some of those clouds and they are out in kutztown right now. temperatures are mild enough for this time of the morning and this time of the year. wind, however that just went from 12 miles an hurry to four, you may find a variation in the wind speed out there but i don't think it should be as windy today as it was yesterday. we have 40 degrees at the airport in philadelphia and in allentown, above freezing now, in the poconos at 33 degrees and we have he got 39 down in

wildwood at this point. feeling just slightly cooler because of the wind to we're getting in some locations. storm scan three is just that graded outlook. we have that grayed outlook outside too with the clouds we are dealing with at the present time. we should be able to muster up a couple of sun breaks later on this afternoon. high pressure is here but it is kind of the clouds that are just sort of trapped here. we're looking at those, but i think, later on today, we should be find something sun breaks and then tomorrow we should have a brighter day, at least computer models believe that, saying that we are looking at a few clouds over the the area, at the present time, and we will put this into motion, 2:00 in the afternoon we have some of these clouds around, we will start to clear out though as we move through the the night time hours and then tomorrow by 2:00 in the afternoon we will have a a lot of sunshine but it doesn't stay for long. notice what happens, tuesday, by 2:00 o'clock we will start to see the clouds rolling in here again and then we will see some showers rolling in here again. warm front, cold front and then these showers, but they leave and we will be left with dry weather again by the time

we will get to wednesday. quiet weather pattern for now so even with a couple of rain showers it should not be a big deal. temperature is at or slight liz above normal, that will take that. and then possible showers, coming here on that tuesday, time line, today, 46 degrees in philadelphia. at the shore 45 degrees. remember there is a small craft advisory for delaware bay and from just about atlantic city and south on the atlantic side because of the gusty wind. inland we will find them along the shore area about 30 miles an hour. poconos 40 degrees, partly sunny here, you are above the freezing mark. winds northwest generally between five and 10 miles an hour. tonight we will drop down around 32 degrees. partly cloudy skies. typical for this time of the year. tomorrow we will have a temperature in the mid to upper 40's. we will do it again, on tuesday with more clouds, and then chances of showers. and then by wednesday, 47. thursday, 40 degrees. notice that we will start to cool down again. friday is 41. then saturday, maybe we will

get some rain, some snow mixed in. this is a system that hasn't formed and we will watch to see whether it goes off the coast, as many people say it will or out to see sees or just bring us wet weather on saturday. still to be monitored, nicole. >> all right, thank you. 8:51. lets get a check of the roads one last time. >> oh, weather watchers. >> lets check on the roads, one last time ann evans is off and meg is joining us in the cbs-3 traffic center. carol, you are clear. >> good morning, thank you. good morning. we have construction on 202 southbound between gulf road and 422. it is hard to see her but you can see construction vehicle pretty much in the center of your screen here. it looks as if only the left lane is squeezing by. so right new traffic seems to be getting bio kay, just keep in mind that as traffic picks up throughout the day that this will jam up. we have northbound construction in the same area, that looks to have cleared. moving on here, we have 95 at
