middletown delaware. that's what happens when you get clouds and wind on the same day. nothing more than a couple of light snow flurries out there. but the big change is going to be this cold air coming in and it's going to be much colder over the next two days and then it gets seriously cold. as the arctic air comes down and it's actually beyond arctic. as we go through the weekend, these are the high temperatures in philadelphia and the low temperatures in blue. 4 degrees sunday morning. that would be close to a record. and the air that is coming this way, going from north pole and beyond. it's coming from siberia. we called this the siberian express. it does not happen often. but we're getting it this weekend. how cold? atlantic city, 13-degree temperature. 30 mile an hour win. feel like minus 9. millville, 10 degrees. 25 mile an hour, feeling like minus 11.

4:19 pm
