so, all of this weather is going to eventually move up into our area tomorrow, that's why we have the thunderstorm risk. here is the risk area. locally it's mostly south of philadelphia that has the highest risk of thunderstorms. the severe risk right now lies just to our south, we could see that change tomorrow or even maybe late tonight. even higher risk the farther south you go. you see how strong this next weather system is. so we'll start here with future weather tomorrow. 3:00 p.m. we see the rain around, we see even heavy pockets, but then by the evening commute, 5, 6:00 tomorrow, there you see the reds and the oranges that shows us heavy rain, potentially thunderstorms, temperatures in the 60s which would be fueling this. and then we go even into tomorrow night. 8:00 p.m., we still have the thunderstorm risk around, the temperatures are warm and then each by 10:00 tomorrow night we could see an organized line of thunderstorms developing, so again, with this we could see gusty winds, heavy rain, potential for lightning, we'll be tracking this through the day tomorrow too. coming up glenn will show you a

degrees out there. middle of the afternoon. it's barely above freezing reading and allentown, 36 degrees, 37 in pottstown, just enough above freezing so that it's just rain and not freezing rain or snow. 47 degrees in millville. is the warm spot. not exactly as warm as it was over the weekend. the temperatures as we go through the night tonight if anything it goes up a little bit. so it's not going to be one of those cases where it cools down at night and changes to snow or ice or anything like that. but tomorrow especially late tomorrow and tomorrow night, that's a first alert. we've got heavier rain coming in so localized flooding is possible. and also those gusty thunderstorms. potentially gusts over 50 miles an hour causing some damage. at the moment we have a winter weather advisory for the poconos and northampton county. with some of that freezing rain falling up there, the snow has gone even farther to the north

out of the area. allentown still in the light rain as is easton. we go down farther to the south and we have patchy areas of rain, mostly on the light to moderate side. that's not enough to cause flooding. but the storm tomorrow, this is a much stronger system, you saw the tornado reports in louisiana already, there's going to be a lot more tonight down south before it's over with. then tomorrow's severe weather threat is highest in north carolina. i mean really high in north carolina. it's just slight in delaware and extreme south jersey, and a little higher in parts of virginia. that is going to be part of this warm wind that's going to be coming in. here we go tonight. a little bit of freezing rain in the poconos, near 30 degrees, the rest of the area temperatures level or go up a touch. then here comes more rain tomorrow. patchy light in the morning.

not even necessarily that much at 4:00. but what, this thing explodes in the evening. 66 degrees from this computer model. and then the line of thunderstorms that comes through 9, 10:00 at night. and look at the nighttime. midnight, 62 degrees in february. 2:00 a.m., 58 degrees in february. you don't get temperatures like that without some kind of trouble. the rain or thunderstorms or both. patchy rain with fog late tonight, 40 for the low in philadelphia, 34 north and west. then during the day tomorrow, it gets warmer and warmer as the southeast wind increases, eventually gusting over 40, again some places getting into the 60s as you saw. with some potential damage. and then on thursday, it's windy, a chance of a shower, maybe a snow shower farther to the north. temperatures kind of level during the day, then it gets

as far as freezing threats are concerned. 38 in trenton, 40 in wrightstown and mount holly. 47 in millville, woodbine, and 46 for the atlantic city airport. a first alert for tomorrow. especially late tomorrow and tomorrow night. the rain tomorrow, that's going to get heavier. localized flooding is possible, and gusty thunderstorms are likely over at least a part of the area. tonight's issue, winter weather advisory for the poconos and northampton county until 9:00 a.m. wednesday. a little bit of freezing rain on top of the snow that's already fallen. at least from allentown and reading southward, it's above freezing. just patchy regular rain that's falling. making things wet. we also have some fog issues tonight as well. then we have some patchy rain, a little bit farther to the south. the bigger storm is down in the deep south and you can see the

spin very clearly, a really, really strong jet stream fueled by the el nino helping to create severe storms and tornados down south. and the whole thing shifts up toward the northeast tomorrow, so the risk of severe storms comes up this way. slight risk, mainly for delaware, extreme south jersey, could shift up to the philadelphia area. a higher risk in the delmarva area, much of virginia and the highest risk of really high risk in north carolina, you get probably number of tornados in that state tomorrow. as we go through the night tonight you can see if anything temperatures are going slightly up. don't have to go a lot up, just a little up. and we're okay for any kind of icing. you can see showers around in the morning. not a whole lot. but then later in the day, as the temperature climbs, look at that, 64 degrees according to this computer model. 4:00, there are heavy showers

and maybe even thunderstorms. mid-60s, look at this, 60s in allentown. and then this line of storms comes in. now, if it holds together as a line, then we have the greatest threat of severe thunderstorms out of that. that remains to be seen. partly cloudy tonight or patchy rain tonight with some fog late. 40 degrees for the low in philadelphia, 34 north and west. then tomorrow it's another cloudy day, it's wet, some showers in the morning. the wind not strong to start with but really increases later in the day and the temperature really increases too. and the seven-day forecast, after the warm weather on wednesday it's not all that cold thursday, starts off mild, doesn't really change very much. and then friday and saturday are just downright cold. but then it is february. and then look at the temperature go back up. by sunday and into monday.

as we finish out the month. temperatures back in the 50s. >> there's usually a price to pay. when we get 62 degrees in february, it's usually comes along with something. >> in order to bring that warm weather up especially with a southerly wind, there is generally a strong system that's attached to it. >> we'll be feeling that tomorrow. thanks, glenn. >> a local homeless man's hardships have gotten the attention of a professional football team. >> and it led to a surprise that the man says helped him get through the winter. next, the prank he had to endure that made his story gain national attention.
