11:18 am
dropping, 41 degrees. the wind 22, gusting to 37 miles an hour, plus it's 14 degrees colder than it was at this time yesterday. and as we go through the afternoon, you can see that it's kind of leveling off with the temperature. and with the wind we're seeing windchills the way it feels to your skin near the freezing mark. and then take a big drop as we go into the evening. so it's going to be feeling like the 20s by later this evening. and that's in philadelphia it will be feeling even colder than that north and west where it's only in the 30s right now and probably won't get into the 40s during the rest of the day today. 36 in pottstown and lancaster the cold spots. and the windchills, the way it feels to exposed skin, in the mid 20s north and west. and that is going to continue to go down. it's going to be colder this afternoon, at least the way it feels, than it did earlier this morning perhaps when you got up. 40-mile-an-hour gust at mt.
11:19 am
pocono, 30 to 40-mile-an-hour gust pretty uniform across the area. and pretty uniform sunshine across the region. we're watching way out to the west for the next system to be affecting us. it's going to take a little while. you can see on the futurecast just starting to show up on the map. and that's tomorrow morning. by tomorrow afternoon we're still dry. so no threat for tomorrow afternoon's rush. but then as we go through thursday night and into friday morning, we've got a storm down off the coast. and it should be cold enough for snow across much of the area, right into the morning rush on friday. and even perhaps into the afternoon. so we're talking about a lot of hours of snow, but temperatures are marginal. and once we get past sunrise friday, that's a powerful march sun out there to fight against any snow trying to stick on
11:20 am
roads. there's thursday morning. and we're in the 20s. and during the afternoon it's not that warm. we're only in the 30s. so it's plenty cold enough for snow as we go into thursday night and friday morning. but watch what happens here for the friday morning rush. temperatures very marginal. and farther to the south it's well above freezing. to the north and west where there may be a little bit less snow, the temperature's a little bit lower. but some snow should be falling during much of the morning rush across much of the area. and that darker blue indicating heavier snow. so if there's a potential for a good amount of accumulation, even if it's just on the grass, it might be in central delaware, up into south jersey, because that will be closer to the center of the storm itself. of course more coming later as new data is coming in. gusty winds and colder this afternoon. temperatures pretty much the way they are now.

glenn "hurricane" schwartz. >> yeah, it certainly felt like spring over the last few days, but that has changed. it's all ready changed. it's gusty and colder today if you haven't gotten out since early this morning, it feels colder now than it did at that time. we're still tracking snow, but it looks like it could be affecting the friday morning rush hour. and at the same time we're really going to warm up next week, we could hit 70 degrees at least one of those days chlgt bright sunshine out there now. it's not really helping to push the temperature up. it's actually been going down. 41 degrees, the wind 22 gusting to 37 miles an hour. that adds to the chill of course. it's not even to 40 degrees north and west. temperatures in the 30s, 28 in mt. pocono. it's 40 in wilmington. 40 in millville. 39 in glassboro. 42 in dover and atlantic city. those are the warm spots. and the feels like temperatures
11:52 am
generally in the 20s north and west, low 30s across delaware and south jersey. and that's not really going to change very much during the day at all. the wind still gusting 30 to 40 miles an hour, strongest gusts right now at mt. pocono we've had gusts of 45 miles an hour in parts of the area this morning. you can see the dry air here, the cold air coming over the great lakes cause those clouds and snow showers not making it across the mountains under these conditions. the next area we're watching still pretty far away. hasn't really built up that much yet, but it's going to move quickly. and the storm is going to develop along the east coast. it's going to move fairly quickly, so there's not going to be one of those long lasting ones, but it's going to be cold enough. look at this. there's tonight temperatures dropping into the 20s. and as you can see during the day tomorrow it doesn't really warm up much, may not even get
11:53 am
to 40 in much of the area. so that's cold air mass. and then later thursday night the snow starts to come in. at first it's light of course. there's 7:00 a.m. friday. the darker blues indicating a little bit heavier snow. of course there's the rain farther to the south, so just north of this rain/snow line could be the area that gets the most snow out of this, but a lot of this would be melting as you can see with temperatures above freezing and the strong march sun having a double impact on that. here's one of our latest computer models as far as how much snow is going to fall out of this. an inch or two, perhaps a little bit more in southern delaware and extreme south jersey. we'll update that this afternoon. temperatures into the low 40s this afternoon. not really moving very much. we're cold tonight. cold tomorrow. there's the snow tomorrow night and into friday. the weekend is cold especially the start of it. and then look at the temperatures skyrocket next
