country, outside of a hurricane, to see storms moving at 75 to 80 miles an hour. and a little bit amazed there weren't more tornados and even more damage than what we saw. that was an incredibly powerful system that came through last night. then it caused flooding as everything slowed down. we have light rain and snow moving through the area now. pales in comparison to yesterday. colder winds moving in tonight and into tomorrow. but we've got some weekend warming on the way. temperature is 43 degrees. been cloudy about all day. look at that, 31 gusting to 39 miles an hour. feels like 32. it's 21 degrees colder than it was at this time yesterday. now, some of these folks are happy about that in blue mountain. they got messed up yesterday. heavy rain and they had warm weather. and they are going to get a chance to make snow over the next few days until more warm

weather starts coming in. it's not so warm now. 33 in mount pocono. it's 43 in philadelphia. 37 in pottstown. 39 in reading. so even in the areas of seeing the snow the temperature is well above the freezing mark and just melting. it is windy everywhere, that's for sure. gusts of 36 miles an hour in atlantic city, 38 in northeast philly and the wind isn't going to die down a lot tonight as we showed you earlier. we have light rain and snow moving in from the west. this is with an arctic front. we have cold air coming in behind it. we're going to see some snow here. this is western chester county, it's not progressing eastward because it's elevation-related. the higher up you are, the better chance there is of it snowing rather than raining in a situation like this. so, it's going to about coatesville but hasn't made to the westchester even though everything is moving west to east. because westchester is at a lower elevation than the western portion of the county.

there is more back to the west. it's going to be moving through pretty rapidly. now speaking of moving through rapidly these are the storms that developed last night. and as we look back on the radar in lancaster county, there's coatesville and chester county, there's that notch in the radar indicating where the tornado was. ef-2, 125-mile-an-hour winds, about 5 miles long. extremely rare for any tornado in february, let alone an ef-2. that was really freaky situation here. as we go through the night tonight, the temperature drops into the 20s, it's still windy so it's going to feel pretty cold when you get up in the morning, it's still going to be windy. we're not getting out of that four little while. we got early light rain and snow, then turning windy and colder, by morning 30 at philadelphia, 26 north and west. and then during the day tomorrow a windy cold day.

similar move in a simulator. the report also states once the aircraft hit the ground it slid for about 200 feet. as you may remember at least two people of the 154 aboard sustained minor injuries. the faa report which gave detailed information about the captain says he had been take prescription medication and shouldn't have flown. u.s. airways declined to comment. for the investigators, harry hairston, "nbc 10 news." >> the fbi director says the battle with apple over whether to unlock an iphone is the hardest question he's seen in government. >> james comey testified before members of congress about the benefits and problems with encryption. denise nakano is live with more on this privacy battle. >> james comey says the question at the center of this case, who do we want to be and how do we want to govern ourselves. the fbi director appeared before the house intelligence committee, just one week after a judge ordered apple to unlock an iphone from one of the san

the hill it's snowing, the bottom of the valley it's raining. that's what's happening in chester county right now. still snowing in coatesville and a little more in the higher elevations. not really going to accumulate, this is going to race through and that will be it for the night. as we go through the night, the temperature continues to go down. the wind stays up, so remember, we've got temperatures in the 20s here, it's still going to be windy so may be feeling like the teens by day break. in areas north and west. during the afternoon it may not even get to 40 degrees, and it's still windy all day. okay. that's a cold day. then tomorrow night it's cold too. down into the 20s. but then the warm-up begins. and by sunday you're not going to be cold. early light rain and snow, windy, then turning colder, 30 by morning in philadelphia, 26 north and west. during the day tomorrow a lot of
