through, we don't really see any kind of cold front passage necessarily out of the storm, just the way it is forming itself, the way it will rotate through the area, but regardless, we do end up with more than anything just cloudy skies overhead. looking off to the west, though, we talked about this system just a moment ago. the rain, the snow, also, up in the higher terrain, on the west coast, this is a storm system that will eventually become our story, by the weekend. so, it will take its time, crossing the ooh needed state by the time it reaches us, talking friday into saturday. specifically. meanwhile future weather, now, again, weaver warmfront passage taking place, just doesn't look all that impressive. what i will show you here, we go from 11:00 p.m. up until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow, not much of anything but cloud cover say for this little smattering of showers. so perhaps you see sprinkle out there. you may even encounter little bit of fog if we get enough moisture, light enough wind. but for the most part this will be a lackluster event in the form of any casino every wet weather issues, really notice what happens here. we get past lunchtime, the kids getting out of school,

skies will have brightened up nicely. clouds lift for more and more sun as the day progresses, we end up with overall nice wednesday, milder one. wait until the seven day, whole reason for this just shift in the jet stream, allowing the warmth to surge north. we end up with multiple things here anywhere from 15 to 25 degrees above average, so we are talking 70s at least one day here in the seven day. now temperatures as they currently stands are generally mid to upper 40's, already cracking ooh though even in the pinelands at millville at 50 degrees there. notice how much warmer it is though off to the south, again, as the warmth gets brought in, we will have 70 plus degrees day of our own to talk about here, like they've got currently in charleston. so, in terms of what we've got going on out there right now, not heck of a lot of sunshine, up north you can see it here the red roof. i love this. just stands out like a sore thumb. up at jim thorpe up in the pocono network. we take you all the way to the opposite extreme outside beach patrol headquarters, haven't

seen too many folks walking up and down the shore right now but you have brighter sky here. generally calling it partly sunny afternoon. temperature that is, again, still above average. still one of the coolest days that we will find of the next seven. 53 degrees under some sun and some clouds. tonight mainly cloudy again, i don't think we have to worry about much in the way of wet weather. certainly won't need the umbrella for the little sprinkle that comes along early tomorrow morning. we warm up. trade off. what you make for with that lack every moisture, is the warmth. seventy-one on thursday. still very mild on friday. leading into saturday, and saturday is the day specially p.m. hours guys that we will see rain and probably even couple of thunderstorms rumble through, very spring like february. >> february? maybe thinking maybe i slept here for few extra months? this is crazy. >> i know, but we'll take it, no complaints. >> well toy makers are showing off their latest and greatest creations at the annual toy fair in new york. kids can get little exercise in this beautiful weather and have fun at the same time with the new think and learn
