they're an offshore snow instead of an onshore flow. that's a good thing. that means the threat of coastal flooding does not exist as we go into high tide this afternoon, because we're now looking at the winds forcing those waves outward instead of inward. the damage has already been done in those areas. here is a look at the temperatures right now. we're above freezing everywhere except for mt. pocono at 31 degrees, good news as we see light precip falling. 41 in philadelphia, mehlville in 40, 41 in dover. redding, 42. lancaster, 43 degrees. the focus of today, not necessarily on the temperatures, although it will be a chilly when you knew it's on watching the moisture moving out. tomorrow, temperatures climb back up. in a few minutes we'll take a look at the warm-up and drying conditions and if they extend into your weekend. >> krystal, thanks. expect to use detowe towert.

county. lighter showers up through camden, burlington, and mercer counties as well, through trenton, extending into bucks county. abington, you see a mix of a few flakes. temperatures at the surface are all above freezing, considerably. in the upper 30s, even low 40s, which means nothing is going to be sticking to the ground. new jersey neighborhood temperatures, just to show off what i'm talking about, these numbers are too warm for us to see anything stick. this is such a light snow as well, not a worry for icy spots. 39 degrees, pitman, 37 for mount laurel. robbinsville in the upper 30s. princeton, 36 degrees. temperatures won't climb much today. we'll see highs around the upper 30s to low 40s. 43 in center city. summer ton at 40. kutztown, 39. if you're wondering when the rain will stop, it will end by the end of today. throughout the rest of today, still some lingering light

showers are possible, misty conditions you might have noticed driving into work. trenton, 39 degrees. atlantic city, 45. wilmington at 42 degrees for the forecast high a little later this afternoon. here is the hour by hour forecast. this shows up pretty well what we're currently dealing with, just a mix of a few flakes trying to fall, only sticking in the poconos. light rain moves off to the east through the afternoon. why? the storm's center is out at sea just to the south of land. so it will continue tracking to the northeast and pull the moisture with it. we're left with lingering light rain into the early evening hours. overnight, we dry out. the moisture completely moves out the and the clouds move out. by tomorrow morning, scattered clouds are possible. we will start to see some shine for our we understand. that wednesday.

here is a look at those wind forecasts for today. what we are tracking are winds that are not nearly as strong as they were yesterday. yesterday we had gusts top out above 60 miles per hour along the jersey shore. and even inland we had gusts right in those upper 40s through philadelphia. today, 17 miles per hour sustained winds. 13 in allentown. peak gusts throughout the region, around 20 to 30 miles per hour. a little higher along the shore. as i mentioned earlier, the flow comes in from the northwest, which is much better for those coastal points. it is forcing waves outward instead of trying to force them inwards leading to coastal flooding concerns. nonetheless, we've seen water washing through. things do get better. today we are still chilly, 43 degrees for the high. you saw temperatures right now in the upper 30s. remember, because it's windy, it feels colder than it actually is. some of us feel about ten degrees colder.

so a chilly day today, and damp. a big warm-up for wednesday with the sunshine in place. clouds redeveloping by thursday morning. spot showers possible, but overall we stay dry at 50. finally we drop back down to for seasonal temperatures through your weekend, upper 30s to low 40s. >> krystal, thanks. up next, the power of meditation. the new study that confirms the health benefits of mindful meditation, that's next. plus soup's on. a brand-new philadelphia restaurant is dishing out delicious soups that's chock-full of generosity as well. find out what makes this place so unique.

dumping cooler air that was ushered in with this system. like we saw the last half hour, still rain lingering over the north and east parts of our viewing area. you see it's a light green, this means it's a light era e eer ra nothing like we saw yesterday. flakes are mixing in but nothing making it to the surface because temperatures are too warm for snow to make it to the ground. rain in parts of philadelphia, trenton, isolated activity stretching into bucks county, even atlantic county where we're still getting reports of a few flakes trying to mix in with the rain but melting by the time it makes it to the ground. this is just a light rain. it will slowly start to move off more to the northeast and pull out of our area as we go into tonight. temperature-wise, definitely chilly. 41 degrees in philadelphia, allentown, coatesville. vine land, 40.

confirmed dead after a tornado ripped through this area sunday afternoon. statewide, 15 people are dead after a weekend of severe storms. and local officials here in albany say their number could go up, because so many people are still missing, including a 2-year-old boy. i'm chris hopper for nbc news. in italy, fire rescue crews have pulled more bodies from the rescue of a hotel that was hit by an avalanche last week. the death toll stands at 15. 14 people are still reported missing. crews rescued people from in and around the hotel. some of them had survived for two days under ice and rubble. more tragedy in italy today, as a rescue helicopter crashed while trying to save an injured s skier. all six people on board were killed. this happened in central italy in the same area as the hotel

overnight there was never an investigation of flynn, and that the calls were briefly scrutinized after being picked up as part of routine monitoring of the ambassador, adding, the matter has been concluded. >> reporter: any other conversations between general flynn and members of russian government? >> not that i'm aware. >> reporter: the backdrop to all of this, broad investigations into russian's meddling in the u.s. election. one former u.s. intelligence officer briefed on the matter says they're looking into certain form campaign aides that had improper contacts with the russians. at the white house, the press secretary downplaying any feud between the president and leaders of the intelligence community, pointing to the response president trump got during his visit to the cia saturday. >> they were excited. they were clapping. they were cheering when he walked in. >> reporter: that cheering audible for many of the 400 staffers in attendance. but not from senior agency leadership, staying silent during parts of the president's

remarks. former agency head john brennan, not in attendance, called the presidential appearance a despicable display. also overshad dol shadoshadowovs from trump. >> we should have kept the oil and we wouldn't have had isis in the first place. but okay, maybe we'll have another chance. >> we want to make sure our interests are protected. if we're going into a country for a cause. >> reporter: can you unequivocally state this administration will not send more troops into iraq to, as the president put it, take the oil? >> i'm not going to talk about what we may or may not do. >> that was nbc's hallie jackson reporting. new this morning, peyton manning will speak at the republican party retreat in philadelphia this week. senate and house gop leaders will gather in center city starting tomorrow. president trump and vice president pence are also expected to speak. a woman sleeping on her couch is very lucky to be alive today. here's why. a car that missed a turn slapped

from parliament? the court ruled that parliament has to weigh in. lawmakers will have to vote on whether or not to trigger something called article 50 of the lisbon treaty. this kicks off a two-year process of effectively negotiating the uk's divorce from europe. d theresa may says she wants to do this by march. they'll have to submit a bill to parliament. the expectation is that it will pass. there was a public vote on whether or not to leave the eu. that makes it difficult for lawmakers to go against the tide. most of may's conservative party at this point supports leaving. and the opposition labor party has said that it won't block article 50, although of course there's always a chance that individual lawmakers may rebel. so it may slow things down a bit in the long run. there will certainly be more discussion of the brexit process. answers the not by any means derailed. nbc news, london. we have a unique new view of pluto today.

through ship bottom. then tracking from tom's river into monmouth county and farther north, lighter rain hitting the shore points, not something we need after the coastal flooding we saw yesterday. fleetwood, you're at leonardsv. for your current temperature reading, not going to see these values rise much more into your afternoon. for the jersey shore, cape may, 40 degrees, woodbine the same. mays landing, the same. hold gate at 38 degrees for the current temperature. and of course in those areas, same deal, just rain that's falling currently. current wind speeds right around the mid-20s to close to 30 miles per hour. these are your gusts that we're looking at. atlantic city, 29-mile-an-hour gusts. philadelphia, 24. yesterday the gusts were way

stronger, 50 to 60 miles per hour for those peak gusts throughout the entire day. it actually was the main cause of the coastal flooding because those winds were coming in from the southeast. when that happens when you have that onshore flow, it forces those waves inland, which is exactly what we saw. good news is the winds have shifted directions and now they're coming from the northwest. and that does help alleviate the concerns down near the coast as we see high tide later this afternoon. your three-day outlook, temperatures do get better and we finally dry out. today through the afternoon, lingering light rain expected. this is across parts of our neighborhoods, mostly new jersey and philadelphia that we're seeing this. on wednesday, we're sunny. we clear out and we just see clouds redeveloping on thursday. temperature-wise, picking back up, 57 on thursday. 54 in the suburbs, only 40 today. upper 30s in the lehigh valley is where we stay today. up to 50 for tomorrow.

sunshine across the map for new jersey, the shore and delaware, right around the upper 50s to lower 50s at the jersey shore. still windy as well. by thursday, low to mid-50s for temperatures. we do see clouds increase, and we may see isolated light rain thursday morning but a dry rest of the day. conditions are much better as we go through the next a couple of days. a closer look at your ten-day on 10 coming up in just a bit. we'll be right back.
