34 degrees, the wind 16, gusts in 25 miles an hour. it diminished a little bit an hour ago now back up. below freezing already in pottstown and allentown. reading. 31, 32 degrees in mount holly. and as we head closer to the shore, just about as cold. wilmington, atlantic city, 32 in dover. and millville and in glassboro. as we go through the night tonight, we're going to be seeing enough wind to make it feel colder, so by 11:00, 27 degrees it will feel like 20 in philadelphia. but by 7:00 a.m. there is no wind left, so the temperature is 25. and the wind chill is 25. we've had a lot of sunshine today especially compared to yesterday. the clouds are not that far off. it's just clouds. we're not seeing much precipitation. couple little blips in wisconsin, that's about it.

so as that system moves across during the day tomorrow the chance of precipitation is pretty low. we start off the day very cold. it's going to be in the teens, then the clouds come in during the day tomorrow. also benefit from being warmer than it would be if we had another day with sunshine. could be some light snow showers across the poconos. and then yeah, temperature just does not go up a lot. as we go into tomorrow afternoon. but it does go up a lot over the weekend, then we watch to the south for next week. we're talking about in the tuesday to thursday time period, a nor'easter developing, you see the winds coming onshore. we have a full moon early next week so. the tides will be high. and so the stronger the storm is, the more problems will be at the coast. there is a fair amount of arm air at the start. a better chance of snow inland, the higher elevations as we go into wednesday and thursday.

so, of course it all depends on the track, more inland track would create more rain. offshore track would give us a better chance of some snow. especially at the end of the storm. clear and cold, 23 for a low in philadelphia. 15 north and west. during the day tomorrow we've got a lot of clouds developing, and high temperature near 40. maybe snow shower up in the poconos, and look at saturday, no snow showers. too warm for that. 60 degrees, some late showers sunday or sunday night. and then colder air comes in next week. with that nor'easter, affecting us tuesday and into wednesday. >> all right, hurricane, i'm liking saturday. i'm john clark. coming upg first day for phillies workout. aaron nola talks about possibly being the opening day starter and president obama honors a former flyers great.
