those will clear so we have a warm sunny weekend in store for the area. also tracking a little rain and snow that will be moving in as early as very late sunday night overnight leaving monday morning so i'll show you that in a second. we're still talking about the nor'easter next week, it looks like we'll have it. i'll show you the time line. overcast skies in philadelphia now. 37 degrees if you are about to head out. the wind is making it feel like 29 degrees. and it's not a very windy day but it's enough of a wind to make it feel colder. actual temperatures in the mid 30s through the lehigh valley. 35 in pottstown, 38 degrees right now in trenton so you want the jacket buffer head out because we're going to say in the 30s. 36 in millville. 35 dover and atlantic city. all of these numbers will be rising to near 60 for tomorrow. a lot more like spring as we go into the weekend. a little weather system up to the north, not a lot of heavy precip but stay to the north. this is responsible for bringing

us all of the clouds. we have remained mostly dry but cloud cover is with us and we can't rule out a little bit of light precip, very late tonight. so we'll keep an eye on that for the area. future weather here showing the clouds hanging around. and this is 3:00 in the morning. notice that little area of pink around the poconos, that could be a little bit of light wintry mix, maybe freezing rain. but again we'll watch that cl e closely. now looking at saturday, 3:00 in the afternoon, sunny, temperatures near 60 degrees. 15 degrees above norm for this time of year. sunday we stay dry, more clouds around. a day where temperatures are in the mid to upper 50s, still nice. closer to midnight now we're going into early monday. there you see some snow trying to develop up in the poconos rain farther south. so this is a very small system we're watching by the end of the weekend. it's going to move through quickly too because now we look at monday. 6:00 in the morning a chance we can see snow across part of the area with this wouldn't amount

to much i think. rain down to the south but it's really going to clear out quickly so it's a fast mover, it's a small system. we don't expect too much out of it. by monday most of the morning commute should be gone. most of the area should be seeing rain. now as we go into next week we're talking about that nor'easter. tuesday not bad then late tuesday night you see the rain creeping up and wednesday there's that area of low pressure spinning offshore and some of the models, but we would have a strong enough onshore wind to give us that coastal flooding concern again. rain and snow possible through areas north and west of philadelphia but we're still many days away we'll be tracking this very closely because we know the track can be a little bit different and cause bigger impacts. off shore this is a look at the storm tracks possibly and offshore track would give the area higher snow chances, farther inland track or closer to the coast line would give more rain coverage through the area. so of course we'll have more updates through the weekend and into next week. for tonight, mostly cloudy, chance of a light knicks north and west, 34 degrees

philadelphia, 30 areas north and west, tomorrow beautiful start to the weekend, around 60 degrees, feeling like spring and it's going to come with sunshine for sunday, looks pretty good. we'll be watching very late showers, then the nor'easter by the middle of next week. >> all right, sheena. lester holt is joining us from colombia, south carolina with a look what's coming up. >> good evening. big weekend ahead. >> it sure is, jim and rosemary. we're here ahead of tomorrow's gop primary, the big headline here is a big slip in the polls for donald trump. a look at what could be behind it. in nevada clinton, sanders in a dead heat for tomorrow and making the final arguments and the government ratchets up the pressure on apple to unplok the san bernardino killer's eye phone. all coming up. back to you. >> we'll see you shortly. >> her super bowl performance sparked controversy. and now there are new calls to boycott beyonce. >> one police union is calling
