cooling down upper 30s into next monday morning. again, the weekend forecast definitely something to watch. until we get there, a pretty good dry stretch after tomorrow morning. a closer look at your neighborhood weather, coming up. the nbc 10 first alert weather team kicked off severe winter weather week now. shoppers got an up close look at our mobile radar vehicle storm ranger and our weather center on wheels, storm force 10. we chose the oxford mall because it earned a designation from the weather service. >> we did a series of training courses to recognize when bad weather is moving in, how to communicate that:"zv$ our shoppers and retailers and being prepared with emergency supplies. >> all week long the first letter weather team will be visiting malls across our area to show off the full power of nbc 10's forecasting technical. tomorrow we'll be at philadelphia mills. stop by to meet the first alert
