6:15 pm
previous to that storm, so pretty crazy that we matched that number exactly but our snowiest month in philadelphia on average is february with about 9-inches of snowfall on average. so, we still have to get through that. as we head into the next several days the precipitation chance is going to be rainfall. chance on monday with a few late day showers possible looking dry tuesday and thursday. and a pretty much good bet for rain on wednesday. even a few thunderstorms are possible with some very warm and moist air building in but temperatures today we hit average right on the head, 41 degrees in philadelphia, topped at 40 in allentown, 42 in atlantic city, so temperatures pretty consistent across the area. starting to cool off now, 38 degrees in philly. we're in the mid 30's in reading and calling in at 40 degrees right now in dover. wind speeds have a little bit of a breeze in some areas. winds picking up in wildwood at about 15 miles an hour but you notice that wind direction out of the south and that southerly component to our wind flow is going to drive in more mild air as we head into

6:17 pm
shower on monday but check out that high temperature. 56 degrees. heading into tuesday still well above average foreground hog day, a few morning clouds, otherwise sunshine. tuesday afternoon looks great and will feel great as well had well. wednesday up to 62 degrees. that would tie a record high temperature set back in 2006. we're not going to be spending a lot of time outdoors unless you have all the rain gear with you as heavy rain will develop and that possibility of a few rumbles of thunder, could even see a thunderstorm with some gustier winds wednesday late day and then cooling as we led into thursday back down into the middle 40's. >> wow. >> big warm upin store. >> boy. i happy. let's get that snow out of here. >> i know. >> you can barely park in the city. have you guys notice idea. >> i still can't get into my parking spot. >> i still can't find a space. i digress. i'm sorry. let's get right to sports. >> interesting game going on right now at a soldout wells fargo center. battle between first place and last place. the world champion warriors with the best record in the league right now are taking on the team with the most losses,

6:20 pm
>> a lot of teams are going into the playoff push right now but three on three you can go a little harder and there's not going to be a lot of hits and your percentage of being hurt is not as high so maybe guys will play a little harder and -- but it's going to be a lot of entertainment i think. >> to college basketball lasalle taking on dayton. explorers came into the contest way five game losing streak. second half lasalle down by six. price makes a triple. lead down the three. but the fliers take control. palmer scoring 18 points, eight rebounds and dayton beat lasalle 59 to 44. kerber upsets serena williams. williams was trying tie steffi graf's record of 22 grand slams single titles. this is the first grand slam title for kerber who was playing her first major final. that was a shock. >> that was definitely a shock. >> wow.
