2:00 in the morning to 30s and 40s, much colder with a westerly wind blowing that's at 8:00 tomorrow morning. then the rain moves out of here completely and our attention turns back to the midwest. another storm system together. another one with rain and snow, but this time when it moves into our area, the colder air will be in place. we'll likely see some snow probably coming through early friday morning. this is thursday afternoon at 5:00. the snow will be moving in from the west at 10:00 in the evening very light snow possible falling in southeastern pennsylvania and maryland, into delaware and south jersey, some light accumulation during the early morning hours friday. when you get up for the morning commute friday morning, may have to dust off the car even to a possibility of little bit of light shoveling possibly on friday. there's still a couple turns that storm can take so we'll be watching friday closely and enjoying the sunshine today.

sunny skies, light breeze, temperatures 50 to near 60 degrees this afternoon. tomorrow forget about 60 degrees, 40s in fact 46 in the morning, getting colder as the cold wind kicks in during the afternoon. then sunshine on thursday. but it will be cold enough that we will see light snow developing early friday morning. that cold stays with us through the day on friday. by saturday we're drying out, partly sunny and a warming trend over the weekend. not a huge warmup, but upper 40s on sunday when there's a chance of a brief shower sweeping through the area. by monday back to sunny skies and mild weather will return. high of 56 monday afternoon. we'll be right back.
