jersey and there could be several hours of this including thursday morning rush hour. it depends on some of the computer models with little bit different tracks and amounts of moisture but there is the general trend of near record warmth to snow within 24 hours. here's tomorrow. temperatures into the 60s. langhorne at 57 even easton and allentown at 53, reading at 55 degrees, 62 in voorhees township. 60 long port. 64 degrees in newark, delaware. we're talking about some tremendous warmth and we could be breaking some records. philadelphia's record is 63 predicting 65 for wednesday, even trenton has a chance of breaking a record as does wilmington. more on that snow chance and other dramatic changes coming up. >> okay, glenn.

little about that. now, as we take a look at tonight, it's not all that cold. we're starting off clear. clouds start to increase during the night as you can see and by tomorrow morning, we've got some places allentown even philadelphia, exton, reading trenton with some rain showers. warming up for rain. then later in the morning, most places are having rain, but it's warming up. 49 philadelphia. then in the afternoon you see fewer and fewer places getting rain and by the afternoon, 62 in philadelphia. but at least it's not raining and then by thursday morning, it's snowing. wild weather around here. >> wow, from today to snow. what a difference. >> can't even imagine. >> she bought a gift card but the business closed left her with worthless paper. >> nbc10 responds.
