>> okay. >> just a different ballgame as of this point that cold front we saw cross through last night brought in the rain. that is just the beginning of these pulses of cold that will continue to come our way. in the next couple of not just days but probably weeks. i think this is the setup through mid december or at best up to what's seasonal or below for daytime highs. so very chilly air in place and where there's cold there's at least opportunity if any precipitation decides to roll through that could in fact be snow. let me get out there and show you first view of a bright and beautiful and sunny main street here in downtown bethlehem, and it's really pretty shot from hotel bethlehem, but you can -- you really be deceased by looks on the camera. i think for the rest of afternoon. those clouds how we started the morning off. but now they have lifted the problem is the cold is also catching up at this point. so temperatures for the better part of the morning thus far have actually dropped. they're starting to rebound now that we have at lost had the chance to see that sun break through. let's go next to nice wide zoom
12:18 pm
on storm scan3, however, when you look at this broad image, what you're noticing first and for most i think this first front is getting out here also this big batch of wet weather rolling through parts of gulf coastline. this is eventually going morph if into our next storm season and roll northeast. where it ends up is absolutely critical to what it means for our friday night forecast. we've been talking about the possibility of snow. it may in fact be the first official snow we see specific to southern delmarva peninsula and southeast new jersey. this is what interpretation of what will end up taking place friday night nearly saturday morning. i like this for the most part based on current guidance. i don't think we're talking about lot of snow. probably a coating to an inch as it currently stands. the thing is, should this track shift even 50 miles, you're basically talking about the possibility then of this is bypassing us or bringing flakes to philly. however, going with my gut i really think the best chance will go to southern cape may
12:19 pm
county, parts of sussex county and the chance does continue to see minor modest snowfall accumulatioaccumulations a littt further inland from that off to the north. the storm is to our southeast. the track is obviously critical. we're really just on the outskirts of it any way. even if it does hit us. it will would be a modest event. that's the expectation. but we'd be talking about a coating to an inch and it's very like until pennsylvania does in fact stay dry out of this based on the way it looks like the storm will track. we'll monitor it for us. stickies with us in the men time it's gotten a heck of a lot colder since the same time yesterday. look at this deficit. 23 degrees colder by comparison to new time gloucester dover. as that translates to the thermometer, you're now held back into much more seasonal territory frankly but coming off the 60s from yesterday this feels so much chillier. 45 in atlantic city. 43 at the airport. made to feel like it's about 10 degrees colder. when you factor in that west
12:20 pm
northwest wind which is blowing pretty well at 16 miles per ho hour. so you will notice that. now, beyond this point heading into the upcoming weekend army/navy which you can see right here on cbs3 that game taking place. down at the linc at just 41 degrees for kick off temperature. so it's not terribly atypical but it is colder than average and that's general wal this forecast has up its sleeve. comelier than average conditions for most of the outlook. looking ahead to tuesday, that would be our next chance to see a new storm system develop. that is seven days away. but it is a chance for to us see maybe a mix of rain and snow. stay tune. it's busy pattern. >> all right. katie we've been warned. thank you. making a difference with a gift of song and a hot meal. >> meisha is here with today's love it. meisha. >> selfless cleveland man was in philadelphia to be stow a gift on a couple of deserving veterans a garth brooks concert for free. before he left to go back home he was adamant to do one more thing for them. take look. jeffrey bubba straws loves three
