current temperature, coatesville, 59. philadelphia, 62. wilmington, your current temperature 64 degrees. hour-by-hour forecast. we're going to start this at 11:00 a.m. and pause this later tonight at 11:00 p.m. you're already seeing clouds and a little bit of a mix approaching parts of berks county, upper berks county, and lehigh valley. as temperatures start to drop, especially for the lehigh valley later tonight into the overhonit hours, you're going to see snow move across the delaware valley. we may see 1 to 2 inches on grassy surfaces. keep that in mind. i have some concerns for that early visibility, especially when you're headed out to work and to school tomorrow morning. you can see here by 7:30 a.m. we're still seeing widespread light snow moving from the northwest towards the southeast

there. by 9:30 a.m., we're still not done yet. it does become a lot less organized by 1:00 p.m. h however we're not done. happening now, jury selection is yurunderway in a c that put our entire region on edge. authorities say eric frein killed a pennsylvania state trooper and wounded another before leading police on a 40-day manhunt in the poconos. >> pam, explain what's going on here. >> reporter: yeah, i just stepped out of the courtroom a few moments ago. eric frein came in dressed in a suit and tie. he was wearing glasses. he appeared to be very engaged. he and his attorney were going back and forth and talking amongst themselves before things got started inside of that

courtroom. we're going to show you some file video to get you up to speed. about a half hour ago, his defense and prosecuting attorneys got the first look at the potential jurors in this capital murder case. 300 received summons for today. 104 of them made it through to the next phase of selection, which is happening right now. frein is accused of ambushing two pennsylvania state troopers in september 2014 in their barracks at shift change. one was killed and another critically injured. there was a 40-day manhunt leading to frein's capture, which is why jurors are being selected here. now, this is just day one. we know about 1200 people have received summons, so this process is going to take a little while. that's the very latest here in west chester.
