view jack frost big boulder, at 41 degrees, it is hard to keep snow on the slope but cloud cover will help. not burning it off with any sunlight this morning. just a wintry looking scene there and a glummy one as well. we saw rain showers this morning but i think your showers should be just about over for the the rest of the day which would be good. you don't need rain and all that snow that is, looking so, so winter-like and christmasy. in the mountains. so we have cape may courthouse 47 degrees. very light wind out of the southwest, and you can see that the the sunnies up, it is out there somewhere but the cloud are taking center stage at this point. we have future well not future weather just yet but this is what we're dealing with at the present time. notice how this is now forming like it is a little ribbon here, it is moving on through, and once it goes on through, we're left with mostly dry conditions, for a while. but, not forever today. we will be filling in and as we head into the afternoon

hours we will be looking at other showers but areas to the north, for the most parts, should be out of this mix once this morning goes by. and these showers will be going by, as well. now, our temperatures in the 40's. 44 degrees in philadelphia. and in wilmington and in allentown, anyplace else, nope, 43 in trenton. 48 degrees down in wildwood. this ace i very mild start to the day and even to the north, not finding anybody in the 30's or anything that is cold at all, 44 willow grove. forty-one pottstown and quakertown. forty-two in mount holly this morning. our future weather now says, well, you notice instantly. remember i mentioned the ribbon right through philadelphia with the rain? it does not show that so that is why when you see it not starting exactly, it is the the reality a you to go how right are they helping down the road? this computer model does want to bring in some drying which we applaud that but we want it to be right too. it also says a couple showers

coming in this afternoon. that is what we will fine. a few showers moving through the afternoon. we are in the looking at heavy rain for anybody but just some of these showers out there and a total difference in the day from compared to yesterday when it was so beautiful. a few more showers tonight especially to the the south you will keep those showers maybe overnight as that system goes by, and then right off of the coast and then by tomorrow, we will may start with some cloud we should end up with some sunshine on monday and a temperature will be cooling down. this is warmest day with temperatures in the 50's, that cold front goes through and then we will start to see things change. if you are traveling around, computer model says head to the south, you're likely to be finding those rain showers. they are just rain showers. that is easier to get through. travel over next couple days should not be a problem for anybody, a couple lake effect streamers going on there. fifty-one in philadelphia. fifty at the shore. poconos 45 degrees. 2015 will start coal. we have got dry conditions expected 28 degrees though at

midnight. it will be a cold start to the brand new year, and it is a pretty mild finish at least this weekend has been great temperature wise. 51 degrees with the temperature with scattered showers moving through the day. 38 degrees tonight. maybe an evening shower especially to areas to the south. then over next couple of days notice we will cool down to 45 tomorrow. tuesday and wednesday, we are looking at temperatures in the middle 30's but by the first day of the new year, 38 degrees friday, 38 and next saturday maybe wet weather eventually changing over to rain at 50 degrees. well, do you love watching the weather? we saw some people certainly do our weather watchers and you too can be featured in the new cast. become an eyewitness weather watcher and sign upright now at cbs philly.com/watchers. nicole. >> carol thanks. 8:51. lets check on those road with ann, good morning. >> good morning, nicole. we are looking at 202 near king of prussia exit. in delays offer problems here
