5:16 am
with no clouds over us, one of the reasons that these temperatures bottomed out as they have. we will be finding bright, beautiful day all day long, tonight clouds move in little later on, then watch the next storm system start to come into this area. we'll detail all of that. thirteen in trenton right now 15 degrees in philadelphia, wilmington, 15 millville, 18 in wildwood, 15 degrees in atlantic city. these numbers are just chilling, even just to look at them, to be out in them, oh, just terrible. high pressure moves away right now, and then we will be waiting a day that after being calm today and it is calm for the first part of the day on sunday. we watch another storm system start to come in here. and it bridges variety of precipitation types. anything from rain, to snow, and sleet, and ice. so depending on where you are i think it will be different. there are storm watches in effect in fact in some cases in our area. but they stretch all the way from the midwest. look at des moines, and then
5:17 am
you move overthrew the philadelphia area, and you find that they are well to the north and west of us. but it is through the lehigh valley and the poconos that that winter storm watch goes into effect and that is going to be as we go through sunday evening, until monday afternoon. here's generally what we expect now. as i say every weekend storms evolve even when you're in them, but this is what it looks like right now that we, on sunday, on into monday, would be getting mainly snow. this is from the lehigh valley, points north some snow and rain, little sleet possibly mixed in through philadelphia mostly rain to the south. so much of new jersey and delaware would be in that. now, amounts, coating to an inch maybe through south jersey, one to three through the philadelphia suburbs north, and to our south and east. and then three-6 inches going into the upper bucks area. get newspaper allentown and the poconos and you can be dealing with 6 inches plus of snow.
5:18 am
so the higher amounts the higher up you go. snowfall totals, we all love this. this is how it looks through 1:00 o'clock in the morning on monday. and it says not much. not even a inch of snow. none of the models think that that will be happening. but they start to make a little bit after departure by 2:00 on monday, the gfs says that we have just about an inch of snow. the euro says 5 inches. and the other two which ended up being the right ones for that last storm system, they put it at about 3 inches of snow and on sunday, but they're saying not even a inch of snow through philadelphia. but again the euro says 5 inches, the gfs says one. i think generally you could say one to 3 inches through the philadelphia area. and some ice amount, as well, and that's as go through allentown, and quakertown, and maybe even in doylestown, and possibly out in reading, as well out of this system. so we will time this thing out as fast as we k i know we're running out of time here. but i am show this.
5:19 am
3:00 we start to see it maybe tomorrow afternoon to the north, then as we go through time, look at this, it is rain through the southern areas on sunday evening little mix through philadelphia snow to the north and we watch that line move. but we get little wrap around snow also, coming up after that. so, let us see what we are dealing with. and that is that we've got some cold, cold, cold weather. i'll be showing you that eyewitness weather seven day forecast just know that we are dealing with temperatures are going to be very, very cold. and take a look at them. as we go through the week, they are up and down. look at the bottom numbers. so sun today then wet weather later tomorrow, and on monday. now, you can track the weather any time yourselves by download g the cbs philly weather app. you can get live radar. you can track the storms as they move through our area. download the app now on google play and itunes. nick snow. >> carol, thank you. 5:19. still ahead, two oscar winners

get a dealer selling this thing, right? >> well the bmw can but on the buick he, what this do on the concept, they have styling cues see what the reaction of the public; then maybe see that two, three years down the road. so they bring it to the auto show. see the reaction. and then take that reaction back to the clay models, see what they'll be bringing out down the road. >> how big a deal some this for the dealers that do come here i mean, is this one of the main events all year for selling? >> it doesn't sell at the show but it is the event as far as the market area, the philadelphia markets, about the fourth biggest in the country, so this has a huge influence about 360,000 vehicles are sold in our marketplace, and this, this particular show, influences about a third of that market. so that's why it is important to the manufacturers dealers but most importantly to the consumers. >> kitchen, somebody's got to put me in one of these. >> well, it matches my suit. rolling, baby, rolling. >> i love it kevin thank you so much. we'll talk to you in the next half hour. but just get a chance to see
5:45 am
some of the coolest stuff. this again none a -- not a con s but his carry can't even describe it, nicole, it is so, so beautiful. >> you would look great this that car steve. you got to talk kevin into it. meanwhile, tell him i'm impressed, running off fumes after that black tie ball last night. i know he was up late. so we're thankful to have him this morning. >> yes kevin kevin does not drink, but he was up until what, 1:00 in the morning? running around doing that, and now he's here doing live shots with us. so unbelievable guy. >> double duty. steve, thanks, we'll check back with you in just about a half hour. >> once again the auto show kicks off today and runs through february 8th at the convention center f you're planning to go out we have put everything you need to know on our website cbsphilly.com. it is 5:45 right now. and with everything you need to know about the weather here's carol. good morning carol. >> yes we need a dollar can make good werth, not just one that can go in bad weather. we've got a nice morning but
5:46 am
unbelievably cold out there. you heard the winds. we have temperatures in the teens. they feel like they're in the minus numbers this morning. it is that cold. but, it is that bright and beautiful. storm scan3 showing no problems in our area today. and tomorrow, later on in the day, we start to see some wet weather moving in here. and it comes through in a variety of forms depending on where you are. the farther north tomorrow the more likely you are to see seen a winter storm. but as you move toward philadelphia, those chances start to diminishment we'll get weather but won't be getting the amount they could be getting through the lehigh valley and points north of that. 15 degrees right now in philadelphia. we have 11 in allentown, nine in reading, 15 in millville. it is a cold morning, you factor in these winds that are around 30 miles an hour, and we have windchills of minus two, through philadelphia. and there are other things out, there as well. like winter alerts, and they start over in the midwest. we've got des moines, with lots of snow expected, and
5:47 am
then go all the way toward our area, and you can see the winter storm warnings, shaded in blue and that's the lehigh valley and point to the north of that from sunday evening right until monday afternoon. so, we could be dealing with inches of snow there. but probably much less than that as you move to the south. future weather just take a look at this, i'll stop this a million times. today, no reason real toy stop t but then tomorrow, this is a look as we get to 3:00 in the afternoon, chance of some snow up through the allentown area it gets close to philadelphia, might not be here at that point. by the time we hit 7:00 notice the warmer air that gets drawn into this system areas to the south start to pick up some rain, we still see the snow, through allentown and reading, through the philadelphia area, we've change today mix maybe even by sunday night. so, just be careful of slick spots, every place. because there could still be some freezing rain mixed in a few spots south as well. but, looks like at this point according to this model that we get rain to the south. the mix through philadelphia,
5:48 am
snow, continuing through the north. that's why the totals pick up there. we see this change-over line, slowly moving to the north it takes a long time. does it ever even make end it to allentown? that's why snow totals will be higher. through philadelphia this computer model says we ends up with some rain, and then on the back side of this, as we often seep, we pick up little bit of snow even through philadelphia. so let's see what we've got. mainly snow, the precipitation expects from that sunday night through monday after noon to the north, snow and rain through philadelphia, mainly rain to the south of philadelphia, coating to an inch possibly, through south jersey and delaware, one to three through philadelphia, three to 6 inches through our northern and western suburbs you get to allentown could it be 6 inches? could it be 10 inches of snow? i think that's the range and in the poconos where it is very slow, if it even ever does change over, do you have a chance every getting ten to maybe a foot of snow. our computer models, let's compare them all. all named on the bottom. the one that says a lot of
5:49 am
snow for philly, there is only one every them, the euro, says 5 inches. but everybody else wants to put not much around our area at all. but, let's also remember, the chance every getting some icing mixed in there as well. if you see some sleet or some freezing rain and that's specially true to the north. you can't totally rule it out in philadelphia either. so 25 today sunny very, very cold with these winds gust to go about 35 miles an hour, feeling like the sickle -- single numbers all day long. the pets better be in tonight and they better be in now too. it is cold and mitt err recall out there. tonight 20's, partly cloudy skies later on, looks like generally much the day sun stay a quiet day. later on in the afternoon we start to pick up the wet weather. again it starts as maybe little bit of snow. but we should be transitioning over to sleet and rain through philadelphia, one to three again, preliminary amounts through philadelphia, much more though, lehigh valley, to the north and even less than one to three to the south of philadelphia.
5:50 am
that should be ending by monday afternoon and then look at those temperatures, after monday gets to 35, monday night is 5 degrees tuesday's high only 20, and then maybe a little moderating trends wednesday at 39 degrees, but another chance maybe of a snow shower by the time we get to thursday, nicole. >> all right carol thank you. it is 5:50 right now. and the sixers look for back-to-back victories coming up next on "eyewitness news" and from domestic violence to deflate gate. roger goodel talks about the fate of the nfl days before the big game. seahawks fan so excited about the superbowl he's detectives out his house in the team colors. wow. we'll slow it to you coming up next.
