back there and you couldn't see it. there it is. five minutes, just like that things can change. the problem is that it's dumped more moisture on the roads and as it's getting cold, it's going to lead to some icy spots. i also recommend clear your driveway and sidewalks before it gets too dark and the temperature gets too low. it's going to be harder to get rid of that come tomorrow morning. it's going to feel like single digits tonight and teens most of the weekend. and we do have a winter storm coming monday night into tuesday. details remain to be seen. but it's got potential for big accumulations for at least part of our area. 37 degrees in philadelphia now. they reported that snowshower that's no longer there. more snowshowers in the suburbs and across much of the area. look at lehigh valley, dark.

and 30 degrees. that's not a good combination with the rain -- or with the snowshowers. west callan, 31. exton, 32. elroy, 31. milford township, 28. bedminister 29. warrenton, newhope at the freezing point. all of the numbers are going down. so any water, moisture, slush, is going to freeze tonight. feels like 20 in allentown right now. 12 in the poconos, of course that's going to be going down by midnight. we're talking about single digits for the feels like temperatures. and we got doylestown down to zero before 6:00 a.m. and a big 7 in philadelphia there. and in the afternoon, it only gets up to feeling like it's in the teens for most of us. so that is definitely a cold night. now the snowshowers and squalls

continue, although it looks like the heaviest one has just moved through philadelphia. so i don't think we're going to be getting anything as heavy as what we just got. but let's see where it is right now. just passed center city. there's center city, south philly, bellmar, new jersey. you got the bulls eye now. getting some heavier snow. just pass cherry hill and continues to move to the south. they're moving fast. that's why the snow is only heavy for a few minutes. there are more snowshowers there but nothing like what we just saw. we've got three days of cold weather. low temperatures and the teens. highs barely getting above freezing. high of 29 in the suburbs, 27 lehigh valley tomorrow. lows in the teens. so the ground is going to be really cold ahead of this next storm. that's going to be one of our problems. because unlike today, and we told you this last night, when

the snow started it was going to melt. because it was so warm. it's not going to melt at the beginning monday night. it's going to stick to any untreated surface. tuesday, this is the day for the potential significant to major storm, a lot of wind there, too that's what we're going to be focused on. we'll have more on that coming up. ♪ ♪ watch out boy she'll chew you up ♪ >> the unmistakable sound of local boys hall and oates. they're bringing a new festival, hoagieville festival. we'll see performances from tears for fears, philly's own g love and the special sauce along with allen stone, candice springs and many more. tickets go on sale next friday. >> who doesn't love them?

down toward the shore. and some of these are pretty heavy. we've been tracking them through philadelphia and into new jersey. gloucester, right now it's almost completely through philadelphia. waterford, about to get hit by that snowshower. and it went right through mount laurel, right through philadelphia. right at the wrong time of day. and some smaller snowshowers still to come. now we watch the temperatures. down to 31 in allentown, and trenton. 32 in mount holly. so now when the sun sets, and the temperature continues to plunge, any slush is going to freeze, water is going to freeze. and it's not going to be so easy to get rid of the snow tomorrow morning. still a few more snowshowers coming through on the future cast over the next few hours. but what we saw today is just minor league compared to the

once the sun goes down. shortly after 6:00. the temperature above freezing throughout delaware. but again, not for long. 34 in claymont. 37 in marshallton and middletown. and 40 in reading, bridgeville. so most of delaware is already down into the 30s. so it's not that far to go into the 20s. feels like 8 in mount pocono. 20 in allentown now. and of course, those numbers are going to keep going down throughout the evening and by later on this evening if you're headed outside, any icy spots, you got to watch out. dress for wintertime. it's about as cold as last weekend. feeling like 1 in doylestown at 7:00 in the morning. and then it doesn't really warm up a whole lot during the day. it's going to be a windy day tomorrow. we're going to be seeing wind gusts close to 40 miles an hour. we had snowshowers racing.

because they're small and moving fast, you only get about five minutes of a heavy snow. when you get it, as we've been showing you with the live cameras, you can't see anything. and all of a sudden the sun comes out. we've got one over sea aisisle y and this one has just about ended at williams town. over winslow right now. and that will be headed to the shore as well. that's the storm itself if you want to call it a storm. it's not a very strong som that was coming through here. the next one will be much stronger. and what's happening ahead of it is a problem because it's so cold, the roads are going to be cold ahead of this next storm. teens at night for the next couple of nights. and even monday morning is cold in the teens in much of the area. lehigh valley, even 16 by monday morning. and a high of 32.

and then you got precipitation coming in overnight wednesday night. yeah, not only is that snow, that snow is going to stick. even at the jersey shore, a low of 20 and a high of 38 on monday after that very cold weekend. so now, this storm that we're talking about develops down in the gulf of mexico, picks up gulf of mexico moisture. becomes a nor'easter, picks up atlantic moisture. the storm that came through today didn't have either. so there's going to be tremendous amounts of moisture with this storm. the track is it going to hug the coast? some models show that which would mean snow to rain, back to snow for philadelphia. mostly rain for the shore. and the heavy snow would be inland. if the track is further offshore, then we could get the heavy snow even at the jersey shore and back to philly with lesser snows back towards the lehigh valley.

those are the questions that remain. we're still four days ahead of that storm. it does have potential to dump big snows on at least a part of the area. with snow on the ground, arctic air moving in, baseball's not really top of mind. >> but it was today in south philadelphia. the battle to be philly's ball girls and it's more than just fielding and hitting. the phils want to see who can think on their feet as well. we go inside the tryouts, next. let's go inside sky force 10 and show you around. this is king of prusprussia, lot the ground. we saw snow melting on sidewalks and roadways. what you see here, it's sticking to the ground and temperatures are only going to drop. and especially meltings taking place later tonight, be careful on the roadways it could freeze. we'll be right back. ♪ we buy any car dot com ♪
