this whole thing boogies off the coast. it does sort of park there. retrogrades back a little and maybe a quick dusting of snow or rain showers out there on the jersey shore. let's take a look at hour by hour what's going to happen. we're going through friday. you're going to wake up. it's going to be chilly in some places because we'll have clear skies tonight. however, we get into friday evening, things are quiet. we've topped out somewhere in the midupper 30s, 40s around the area tomorrow. here comes the snow. everywhere that's freezing or below you'll be looking at snow. philly is at 33 so it's a rain/snow mix. saturday, light snowshowers, sporadic snow squalls. not heavy snow coming down. certainly nothing like we saw tuesday. this will continue into saturday evening. you can see rain has muoved int philly because the temperature gets into the upper 30s. it doesn't support the rain. as we head through saturday evening, all of this is pretty

well gone. sunday we get sunshine back. we'll have a few clouds out there but we'll be just a little bit cooler on our sunday. let's go ahead and take a look at some of the snow totals. the model is not projecting a lot. you can see stretching to maybe getting an inch by chestnut hill. we get rain, it's all going to wash away and melt. let's take a look at what's going on in montgomery and bucks county, you can see the same thing, 1.7 inches. richland, you have to be in upper bucks county. chester county same thing, less than an inch and a lot of that will wash away. now it gets interesting because we get out to the lehigh valley and the berks and that's where we could pick up an inch and a half, mount pocono might pick up a lit more. this is a forecast model so it can change. out in south jersey, pretty much nothing because it's going to be rain. the same thing for delaware. and the same thing when we head out along the jersey shore. so we're not going to be looking at a big dump of snow at this

point. the forecast models are kind of keeping it on the light side. here's your ten day forecast. 44 for tomorrow. we may get quite warm tomorrow. should be fairly pleasant during the day before we drop off in the evening. clouds will keep us warm at night. 46 for our saturday. raindrop in there for philly but snow for the lehigh valley. 42 on sunday with that rain/snow mix early in the morning. then we hit some 50s. we'll get some nice melting in there. even a 60 by next weekend. not this weekend though darn. >> we got to wait a little while. a diamond on the diamond. a 14-year-old discovered a massive diamond after traveling to southern arkansas for a baseball tournament. the gem he found weighs 7.5 carats. a typical one carat diamond that's uncut sells for $2,000. his is 7 carats. the teen says he's keeping his stone as a souvenir. he might change his mind as
