a coffee, i feel like i can't get warm. just the way the perception, coming off, ya, we ended up hitting 64 degrees, overall, after all. so i gave you a pason that one for sure. i'm going to take it, too. but what we are experiencing definitely much more after dose of reality for this time of the year. mid 40's, where we current are, not going to move much more the rest of the day, we have had little bit more cloud cover than originally anticipated, having hard time breaking in every location to up here around the network cameras, shot outside burn ville, where you can see the streaks of sun rays, breaking through the clouds, and it is 36 degrees, because of the clouds, overhead, having harder time rebounding out here, to the north and west serbs, but it is clear as a bell, outside beach patrol headquarters in margate sit. so it is just dependent upon where you are, through the afternoon, what you will find overhead, but everyone at least stays dry, catching break between systems, courtesy of nice pressure,

wide zoom on storm scan to show the next big thing, really frankly not all that impressive looking at least on the radar, but it will be rapidly intensifying storm system. those words going together don't often bode well for us but we get somewhat of a glancing blow from this, really going to ends up being much more of issue for new england, as it intensifies, drags in cold air, but we, how much, are going to see this come early tomorrow morning, that's why we jump ahead in future weather to 5:00 a.m. we start to see this cold front cross through. there is area of low pressure that develops on its tail ends, so a lot more moisture to work with this time. lou the course of the rush, see the moisture moving in. model we are looking at, not gospel, comes early enough we will see some snow possibly as far south as philly but the best chance goes to the northern counties with the rain-snow line continuing to lift north, with every passing hour, as the milder air takes over. even though we may not end up with very slick conditions, from wintery weather, you will

still get slowed down by what promises to be periods of some steady rain at times it, will likely even last us through the better part of the day. some co-4:00, 5:00 at night, p.m. driver looking better than a.m. drive, but see puddle on the roadways, that kinds of thing. good sort of synopsis, pick your spot, this is what you will ends up with. perhaps, this is still question mark, in philly, we see that brief mix. it is mainly rain in the city. i would keep your umbrella ready to go, though, south and east of that, nothing but rain. and, as long as it hangs on long enough, lehigh valley region, one-2 inches of snow, we showed you earlier, winter weather advisory posted for the poconos, as of 5:00 a.m. tomorrow. so, here's our official snow map. not all that impressive for wintery know, but two-4 inches, enough to shovel away. meanwhile we have got new years coming up the next couple every days, for the mummers parade, looks like may be isolated shower, not enough it will cause major issues for the parade, but looks like on the cool side. meantime take a look, friday, we will not hit 40 degrees,

windy day, colder day, and in the wake of this cold front that crosses tomorrow, so winter chill like you said, jim, you know? it is in the air. >> could be worse. could be 20. so, i mean? >> that probably would be a good day to go on a cruise. >> well there is story might make you feel a lot better. >> it may sounds like no big deal, but two florida police officers returned to their job yesterday. >> back on the beat after experience that will no doubt link them together forever. there were plenty of hugs, officers reported for duty. last august, miami dade officer, diana castillo, donated her kidney to fellow officer. but now both officers are back and feeling better. >> got to feel better and better and better. >> kept asking me, are you sure you want to do this? i'm like can we get this done already? stop. >> all right. well, officer's kidney failed your called by a genetic condition. both officers back on routine duty and expected to be just fine. this story, little earlier, jim, got quite the social

media attraction when you said would you not give me a kiddy? >> you said -- >> i'm giving you another opportunity to correct this. >> sorry. no, i just have a thing, i like pieces of me to stay in. now when i go i'm an organ donor, when i'm living, i want them all in the same place where they are right now. i won't share my lunch either. >> yikes. >> tough crowd. >> give my heart -- pick my heart up off the floor. we'll be back in two
