in those areas, it's just going to be rain and melt. so you don't have to worry about that. tomorrow we could start off with snow in shanksville. this is why we're doing neighborhood weather. we have a chance of a little bit of light rain in other parts of the area. watch this. the feels like temperatures this afternoon in the 30s. going down into the 20s, perhaps in some areas. not all that cold. tomorrow morning or even tomorrow afternoon. but look what happens tomorrow night. and into wednesday. single digit windchills across much of the area. i'll let you know when it will warm up and when we have more chances for snow coming up. >> all right, glenn. a wilmington girl has a new set of wheels after thieves scrapped her walker for cash. >> they've always had our back.
