6:16 am
seven. sixteen in allentown, five in millville, and the heart of south jersey, 12 in wildwood, nine dover, six atlantic city, just little bit inland off the coast, at the airport there and 15 in trenton. so, we new it would be a very cold morning this morning. now, i'm showing you this, this is a look at the area shade in the blue, where we have the winter weather advisories that goes into effect at 1:00 a.m. for everybody. it stops about 10:00 in the morning through philadelphia, about 1:00 in the afternoon through the lehigh valley, and 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon through the poconos. so just a lot going on, as we go into tomorrow. not a lot of precipitation expected out of this. but, in some areas especially as you head toward the lehigh valley poconos, trace of ice maybe an inch of the snow and sleet mix, could be coming in. now, we've got sunshine for much of the day. the clouds do start to build as we go through the day. by 9:00 clouds cover around the area. we'll take this bit by bit. i know so many people get out early monday. this is 2:00 in the morning
6:17 am
in the way the computer model is pegging it right now that you would be finding this to the west of even the allentown and reading areas. by the time we hit 6:00 a.m. though, we start to see at least chances of some of this wintery mix coming into the allentown area, you may find it even to the south. so we'll watch for that, some rain is also mixed in, maybe some freezing rain is mixed in, as well, with temperatures. then by the time we hit 8:00 in the morning, through philadelphia, you might see that light wintery mix we're really not expecting anything in the way of accumulation, but you know just take it east if i there is ever freezing rain or sleet involved in nick. you just take it easy. but notice if there is also rain as the temperatures will be starting to warm little bit. this is a look at 8:00. we're still under the winter weather advisory, by the time we hit 11:00 the advisory is over for us, it does continue through the poconos until 5:00. looks like this computer model says we get some rain up through the allentown area at that point. then generally this pushes off the coast but notice this. we may get little backlash
6:18 am
here and you see snow flurry or two, if you did it would be brief and that would be very early into tuesday. so i think generally the transition is from ice to rain. and how much ice? well about 7:00 in the morning, this computer model says 100 of an inch through philadelphia, .03 through allentown, by the time finished with this, about .01 an inch most through the philadelphia area if that computer model is accurate. i think just use your own common sense tomorrow morning. temperatures may be below the freezing mark and if you see precipitation, assume it is probably little bit icy. temperatures today though, are going to be not all that bad. because they will be in the 30's. they'll be in the 30's tomorrow with the moisture, by the time we get to tuesday, in the 30's again but it will be dry. which we're so happy about. thirty-seven philadelphia, shore, 38 today and the poconos, 28 degrees. it is dry in every single location. our temperatures, not made that much worse by the wind, only about 5 miles an hour
