average there, over 2-inches where we should be. highest temperature so far this month 68 degrees, the lowest coming down to 11. i don't know if we'll hit that 68 for the rest of the month. looks like that will be our warmest. maybe a few flurries southeast pennsylvania southward into delaware, new jersey possible. elsewhere just cloudy skies. once it passes it rushes in colder air tonight and already temperatures taking a dive at freezing allentown and reading 38 in philadelphia, 29 in pittsburgh, 27 in cleveland so that cold air will move into our region overnight so we're talking about low temperatures down well into the 20's for the entire delaware valley. sustained winds out of the northwest 20 miles per hour in philadelphia that's not factoring in the gusts so that's bringing the wind chill values down into the teens and 20's this evening. good news is for tomorrow if you don't like the wind it does lighten up. they'll be out of the northwest those winds still a cool wind but still around 10 miles per hour so a little bit better there. notice the

arrows, they change directions for monday. now they're pointing to the north and east. that means a southwesterly wind. that's a milder wind so that tries to bring in some warmer air for the start of next week. tomorrow still on the chilly side, mostly sunny though so that late march sun is pretty strong. it will feel good upper 40's for the highs. monday looks like we make it into the upper 50's. there will be more clouds as a cold front approaches. there could be a stray rain shower in some spots. another disturbance tuesday maybe a couple showers in the afternoon with temperatures in the 50's. so let's time everything out for you. lots of sunshine tomorrow, so not a bad day to be outside just a little cool for this time of year. here come more clouds for monday, maybe a scattered shower or two, same deal on tuesday, it's not an all day washout no, big deal there. temperatures slowly climbing back to the 50's. cold start tomorrow, historic look at that. mid to upper 20's for those morning temperatures, this is 7:00 a.m. sunday. into the afternoon we go, we get into the mid 40's, maybe some upper 40's if we see those mostly sunny skies. monday looking much better a lot of 50's showing up to the

delaware valley. that's where we should be for this time of year so we'll take it. overnight partly cloudy, breezy cold, center city 26 for the low temperature. you know it's colder in the suburbs. overall cool day on sunday, lots of sun though, 48 degrees for the afternoon high. monday up to 58 degrees. could be a stray shower. i think a better chance for an afternoon shower on tuesday. little bit cooler at 52. we'll go mostly sunny wednesday, mid-50's. thursday that's probably the best day out of the next seven. lots of sunshine. looks like we'll crack the 60's and then some showers move in for friday and looks like saturday still some shurs around especially in the morning with highs in the 50's. >> oh, my goodness. >> a little warmup coming up. we got to get through tomorrow. >> we're looking for the 62. >> yes, that would be good. >> i wish it would stay there. thank you justin. let's check in with lesley. flyers action. >> that's right flyers began the afternoon nine points out of the playoff with seven games left so barring a minor miracle probably not going to the post season but we are paying very close attention to jake voracek who is battling to finish the season as the

nhl points leader. the sharks in town today the first period flyers down one moving the buck. voracek to grossman raffl to put the rebound that. that's good enough to earn the fifth for voracek. third period powers on the power play michael del zotto to claude giroux. another assist from that play and flyers come back to tie the game at two. this one's going to go into a shootout. we know that's the big problem for the flyers. converted one chance and lost this game three to two but voracek keeping pace with sidney crosby in the race for the trophy. >> i think jake's -- jake's a very competitive guy and his priority to win hockey games first and foremost. and he has to produce for us and he has all year. i mean, he's going to continue to try to do that. >> to march madness we're down to the final eight teams of the tournament.
