some of that refreezing once again. so you got to watch out once again another night of the same thing happening. and tomorrow, same thing. if the we keep getting the kind of temperatures i'm predicting that snow is going to disappear. the temperature's going down as you can see. philadelphia 28 by 10:00, 25 by 4:00 a.m. the wind will be diminishing so we won't have a wind chill issue. so saturday's about 43, and look at sunday, 54. monday, up to 60. tuesday, 54. and wednesday maybe the warmest of all. how much snow is left? none down in extreme southern delaware and coastal new jersey. but of course the farther north we get, the more we have. the light blue is 3 inches or more. and just a couple days ago they had a foot of snow in wilmington. and philadelphia, 3 inches or more in south philly or center

city. dark blue is 6 inches or more. northeast philly and much of montgomery and bucks counties. have that. and then the purple, still a foot or more in all of the lehigh valley and much of berks county. so there are some places that have a lot of snow to get rid of. this didn't really add to it much. we had snow showers come through the area, most cases temperature above freezing and it melted. and now we are just left with a couple little snowflakes here. flurries. that's about it. as we go through the night tonight temperatures going down. into the 20s, some places even into the teens. so yeah, it's a chilly night but we really are going to warm up as we head into sunday. especially. so clearing and cold with that refreeze late. 23 for low in philadelphia, 17 north and west. during the day tomorrow, we start up with sunshine, the clouds increase, cold morning

but not too cold in the afternoon. especially because there's not going to be as much wind as today so it won't feel as cold. then a big temperature jump on sunday. 54 degrees, beautiful day. 60 with a chance of showers, monday, we drop a few degrees on tuesday but that's pretty mild. and then whoa, that could be a record, on wednesday we could also get thunderstorms before we cool down again. up to sky force 10 over breaking news here in philadelphia's port richmond section. see that red car there, in the middle of your screen. emergency crews on the scene after this accident off i-95, that car was traveling northbound on 95 when as you see right there it went right off the road over the embankment. we don't know if there are injuries right now. but you see there are crews there on the side of the road, obviously working to try to help that person. two lanes are blocked in the northbound lanes of i-95. let's let sky force 10, they are

you're saying? we've been reporting on one of the big concerns in pregnant women. what can happen for those who may not be aware. >> that's a huge unknown is what is going on in brazil. prior to december 2015 i don't think many scientists had even discussed or heard of zika. what is going on did the virus change, mutate is a big unknown. the viruses are what we call an rna virus, that molecule is unstable and can have higher rates of mutation so that's a possibility of what's going on in brazil. >> what about spread here? how easily do mosquitoes travel and or someone coming into this country from south or central america? >> certainly you are concerned of somebody that has recently come back from areas that reported infections. mosquitoes that of course land on an infected person, they draw blood and could potentially transmit it to another person.

does it impact men, women who aren't pregnant and children. >> great question. from what we know again, zika virus has been around since 1947 when we discovered it and it's historically been a mild virus, that's true in adult men, women who aren't pregnant, very mild infection, probably general malaise, maybe joint pain, maybe conjungtivitis, similar to pink eye. very mild. >> dr. gorski we appreciate you being here. if you have a question for the doctor you can ask it on the nbc 10 facebook page, or by tweeting us, you can head to our website nbc10.com or the nbc 10 app for an in-depth look at this virus. mcdonald's is issuing apology over one of its items. >> the missing ingredient that sparked a flurry of complaints. >> the photo that found a case of cancer.

way if you are exposed to the real virus you are protected. that's the basic science. then once you've gotten to that point you can go into the clinical stages of doing clinical trials, testing safety in humans, and there is a multi-year process. >> nothing to help us with this current outbreak. thanks so much. if you have a question for the doctor ask it on the nbc 10 facebook page or tweeting us. she's going to join us again on "nbc 10 news" at 5:00. we had few snow showers racing through the area during the day today. that has moved out. we've got some melting and we're going to see refreezing once again tonight. we are going to get warmer especially on sunday, then it will get even warmer than that as we head into next week. that is not the end of winter. the pattern looks like it may be changing back again. during february.
