on the way. feels like 18 below in chicago now, 22 below in minneapolis and some of that air is headed in this direction as we go through the next couple of days. so the feels-like temperature by midnight is not too bad. 11:00, 20s. watch what happens as we go through the night and into the morning hours. wow, all of a sudden it's down to single digits the way it feels by tomorrow morning, 3 below in mt. pocono. and then it doesn't warm up a whole lot in the middle of the afternoon it's feeling like barely into the teens. and tomorrow night we're back down to single digits and maybe even closer to zero. the only place reporting snow right now is atlantic city so this is just about over with. there's the live radar. you can see the last gasp of that system that has moved offshore, the heavier snow in new jersey and southern delaware a couple of places had an inch

or two out of that. the arctic air is going to be with us for a couple of days, and then we watch the south later on during the week and there could be a fairly significant storm develop. more on that coming up at 11:00 tonight with more information coming in to us. for the rest of the night tonight, all that snow is pretty much going out. gradual clearing. windy. much colder. 22 for the low in philadelphia, but it's going to feel again like single digits in the morning. tomorrow high temperatures only in the upper 20s with the winds potentially gusting to 40 miles an hour. it's going to feel cold all day, and another bitter cold day on tuesday. not quite as cold wednesday or thursday, and then it's friday and into saturday with that potential winter storm. that's something that we're going to be watching all week. of course it's too soon to talk about amounts. but it does have potential. i'm danny pommells how much
