now. let's give you some idea as we have been able to gauge this in realtime. rubio 29 percent, kasich 29 percent and trump at 19 percent. that was before the debate. now let's take a look at the numbers after the debate ended and how they certainly shifted dramatically. rubio went from 29 percent to 43 percent among our local voters. john kasich stayed about the same and donald trump actually saw a dramatic drop from 19 to 5 percent. and when asked overall who they thought performed the best during this debate our group of local voters thought marco rubio certainly did. so, that is just kind of what we've been gauging here in the studio tonight with our voter who's have taken the time out of their night to watch the debate with us and also a person who helped to make this all possible and helped us gauge reaction so quickly and so easily ben with magna legal services. thanks for being with us tonight. tell me what you were seeing there. we were able to see the drops and declines like i said in realtime with voters.

finds those crevices and it is a biting wind. the wind chill advisory still remains in effect. but a beautiful looking night as long as you're in a warm spot looking out over center city. as always check on anyone you know that may need help staying warm tonight and of course we still have that code blue in effect across much of the region. storm scan3 is clear right now. we had snow squalls move through earlier in the day. those slithers sort of speak can really reduce the visibility rapidly but they moved on out just as quickly. nothing going on just a few streamers, a couple snow showers across upstate new york. our next storm will pull in moisture and really approach our area during the day monday into to us. much more on that coming up but let's start with the cold. temperatures right now 14 in philadelphia, it's 9 degrees in allentown, it's four below zero right now in mount pocono and as we head through the overnight hours we'll be down to around 5 degrees. i don't think we'll be near that record because the wind stays pretty strong but within about 3 degrees of the record here in philadelphia and the

wind chill when you wake up will be teens below zero basically just about everywhere. it will feel like minus 32 in mount pocono. that is dangerous wind chill. 5 degrees the overnight low here in philadelphia. tomorrow's high for your valentine's day 19 sunny breezy and frigid. we should be in the mid 40's this time of the year. future weather keeps us pretty clear. lots of sunshine through your sunday but then monday the clouds roll in and by midday monday right around the lunch hour here comes a little snow. it could intensify a bit in the afternoon so the monday evening commute doesn't look great but notice we start to see the rain work in, this big intrusion of warm air and eventually the snow and ice restreets and rain takes over. we could see an inch or two of snow before the rain comes in. a little bit more in our north and west counties. most concerned about the potential for a little bit more ice off to the west and north especially if that cold air hong on hangs on longer. in philadelphia looks like a relatively rapid changeover from snow and again possibly one to 2 inches of snow over to rain around six or 7 o'clock monday night and

then just heavy rain all day tuesday especially heavy for the first half of the day. and look at the difference in temperature. we surge to 50 degrees. if that storm were to stay off shore, guys, this would be a major snow or ice storm for us. luckily it's taking the track that it's taking. it's more of a rain maker and then finally some quiet weather later next week. >> i like the sound of that. kate thank you. >> what's going up next in sports. >> it might be cold outside. number one villanova a 27-point favorite could they cover? plus flyers had a date with the devils this afternoon and lost a key member of the
