off to the west in, fact, pittsburgh is around 60 degrees and all that warm air is heading our way but we have to get through another chilly evening before we get to it. today was a cool day, once the cloud came in we had sun this morning as promised but then cloud rolled in and it got chilly outside with that warm front lifting through. breeze pick up, temperatures today did not get out of the the 30's, again, but a big change, on the way for tomorrow. lets go ahead and take a look what is happening outside in bethlehem tonight in the lehigh valley everything is quiet here looking live along main street from our camera atop hotel bethlehem. again, quiet friday night but it is cold if you are out and about, you still need gloves and hat and warm up is not here just yet but it is on its way. here's a live look as well and another area off to the north, broadheadsvillain live neighborhood network. it is only 31. you can see why i'm concerned if a stray sprinkle, rain shower or snow shower moves through in the poconos, lehigh valley, temperatures below freezing and we will continue to drop through tonight and there could be a few isolated

icy spots out there but most of us look generally dry through remainder of tonight. lets look at the that warm front, lifting through, trying to bring a few rain and snow showers. that did not reach the ground, zooming out on storm scan three you can see this large warm front, here it is, it is almost through the area, you can see skies are clearing in western pennsylvania, that is where warm air is, already arriving, and we will finally get it in here tomorrow, and that is going to stay warm throughout the weekend and then changes sunday night into monday. after a spring-like weekend some folks could wake up monday morning to wet snow on the ground, and it will be surprising for folks if you tune out in weather over weekend and enjoy springtime conditions and wake up monday morning to a reminder that it is still winter and still february. but feels like it the right now. 39 degrees in philadelphia 37 degrees, that was our high off in lancaster. you can see highs off to the south and west, 72, in nashville today. seventy-six in st. louis. seventy-one witch take. eighty in houston. all this warmth is already

starting to sneak into western pennsylvania, and it is heading our way, can't get here soon enough if you ask me. the here's your weekend forecast, 60 degrees is the high for tomorrow. up 15 above average. and then sunday in the bad a few more clouds in the sky sunday and tomorrow is the better day but tomorrow is more windy then sunday. but little trade off but both days nice to be out and b you don't need heavy coat and gloves. that is great news. so lets talk about rain/snow threats over next several days. tonight minimal threat a sprinkle in one or two spots, if you are below freezing could be ice, i don't think it is a big deal we are dry tonight. sunday night, moderate threat a system supposed to stay where it is at and staying suppressed and now creeping further north. i'm concerned sunday night mainly overnight we will see rain and mixed possibly even light snow off to the north and then mid week a high threat for this next system. we have been talking about this for days. we have been talking about this late tuesday into wednesday and probably into thursday. there is indication it may separate in one lows, one coming in tuesday night into

wednesday, second one on thursday this looks like mainly rain, guys but some snow is still possible. the lets start off with the sunday night system. tomorrow 5:00 p.m., skies clear, beautiful afternoon. sunday a few more cloud, 3:00 p.m. we are still dry. 9:00 p.m. still will dry. go to bed sunday night and overnight here comes this little system, comes through quickly, indication that a little snow could fall from allentown to the northern suburbs. rain in philadelphia, even a few snow flakes at 5:00 a.m. monday and then off to the coast at 7:00 a.m. but some spots could wake up to wet snow on the grass monday morning. it looks like wet snow, very warm so not expecting major problems with this, then we will move into late tuesday and wednesday, coastal storm is still possible, does look like mainly rain but can't rule out snow on the front end tuesday night and probably on the back edge on thursday, gusty wind and tidal flooding, concerns. i want to show you a quick look at this, cyclone wins exton, category five, about to slam in the most populated island of fiji, the worst case scenario for fiji not a good
