philadelphia. temperatures stap start to drop monday, tuesday, still well above average, still talking 60s for highs, then by the end of the week, getting closer to average by next weekend, overall still another warm week ahead for the middle of december. so, record warmth. records high 65, setback in 1923, for today, our forecast hi, 72 degrees. so we can crush that. even tomorrow, our record high of 69. here's our forecast at 67. so we will get close. so even monday, with clouds, showers, it is still warm. and here's why we're dealing with these warm temperatures. tim i cannily in the summertime, you get the set up. high pressure, just off the coast of the mid-atlantic, call it the bermuda high. clockwise flow. so southwest winds flow, between cold front and this high. so a lot of warm air in place across the southeast, and mid-atlantic. cool start to our morning, but still, not bad for early december. fifty in swedesboro, dover, delaware, 52, thicker fog, millville 49 degrees, around philadelphia, similar numbers, low and mid 50's, and gets little colder to the north and west, look at that berks county lehigh valley mid

four's, but mount pocono right now at 56 degrees. so you can see, not even close to being able to make snow up into the resort. some clouds streaming in from the west. that's our next storm system impact us later today during the day, cold front will bring some showers. until then just dry, warm, partly sunny skies. so here is the set up. that front moves real slowly, warmfront to the far north, allowing the warmer air to continue to push on in. tomorrow, the first half of the day, stays dry, just clouds thickening up. we will get some of the showers in here looks like late monday afternoon into the evening hours, may impact the evening commute. then once this front passes, we dry out for tuesday, back to some sunshine, but doesn't really bring in a loft cold air. highs on tuesday, still going to be around 60 degrees. so heading through time, again, model spreads kinds of all over the place, generally about quarter of an inch maybe up to half inch of rain potentially from tomorrow evening's system. so through today, partly sunny skies, dry warm afternoon. then tomorrow morning, once again, some fog, clouds, to start during the day, clouds thicken up throughout the afternoon. here come the showers.

especially during the evening hours. some of those could be heavy in some spot. we'll start to tape off during the overnight. another warm day today, this model showing upper six's to around 70 for the high, wouldn't be surprised some spots reach the low 70s. this evening, still mild, 8:00 temperatures, 50's to around 06 degrees. into tomorrow, still, 60s for afternoon highs. here's the trends. jet stream to the north. a lot of warm air, continues to pom innocent across the mid-atlantic. it stays warm through the middle of the week. talking about highs in the 60s, finally, by the end of the week into the weekend here is a shot of some cooler air moving in from canada. that should bring the temperatures back down to average. nothing terribly cold. report warmth today. seventy-two, tonight, partly cloudy, 54 the low. here is the extended forecast, rain tomorrow evening, once again, thursday, but look at the highs this week. fifty's and 60s, finally by next weekends talking highs in the mid 40's, nicole, back to you. >> thanks, it is now 7:18. let's check in with ann evans in the traffic center. good morning, ann. >> busy shopping day, busy day for errands, with the holidays

purchasing health insurance. but, if you don't have coverage next year, expect to take a big hit at tax time. consumer reporter jim donovan explains. >> until the fourth week of open enrollment almost 395,000 people selected insurance plans using the healthcare dot gov website totalling over 2 million plan selections since november 1st. but the deadline is fast approaching. >> if you want coverage for january 1, you have to sign up for health insurance coverage by december 15th or you will not have coverage. >> if you have purchased insurance through the federal marketplace, it is important to update your personal information on the healthcare healthcare.gov site each year, even if you are not making any changes to your coverage. >> financial situation changes or your household competency changes, you could be eligible for more or less financial help. so you don't want to take the chance that you have attacks liability at the end of the year. >> finally if you choose not to be covered by health insurance, get ready to pay up

in the form of a penalty. >> if you can afford health insurance, but you choose not to have coverage in 2016, then you are subject to a fee or a penalty when you file your federal income taxes. >> this year that penalty is substantial, up to $695 per adult in your household or 2.5% of your taxable income, which ever is higher. that's the key thing to remember, which ever is higher. so if you are making $40,000, and don't enroll in coverage, the penalty would be a thousand bucks. now again, december 15th is the deadline to obtain coverage for january 1st. if you miss that deadline, open enrollment is open until the ends of january and beyond that that's when the penalties kick in. reporting for three on your side, i'm jim donovan. >> all right, it is clock 21 right now. still ahead on "eyewitness news", sitting on santa's lap isn't always easy for children with autism. our stephanie stahl shows us
