yeah, california and missouri. the number to beat 9,000 people. no word yet if they set a new record, and this was actually planned for last weekend but had to be postponed because of the snow we get so, hmm. they cancelled when it was snowy and had the fight when it's pretty sunny out, right, steve? >> yeah. i guess trying to get there was a little bit challenging last week. i'm glad they got their snowball fight in, a milder day. got hit with a snowball. at least that snowball would member of the temperatures got up into the 40s here this afternoon so it was a nice break from the arctic cold that we've been seeing here for the last couple of daves so as we take a look at the weather headlines you can see we do have spotty light mixtures coming into our area, and that would be mainly north and west of the city. tonight, not everywhere is going to get one of these patches of light mix, but it will be enough to cause a knew spots to get some slippery surfaces. we'll be watching that. the bigger story i think the is milder weather coming our way. monday and tuesday.

monday we get near 50 and tuesday we're well into the 50s. almost a spring tease, and that milder weather will hang around into christmas weekend so the trend is more towards a wet than white christmas. sorry all you snow fans. a lot of you people are getting excited and things can change a little bit, but the trend is definitely for some milder temperatures. so here is your neighborhoods right now. temperatures 41 in philadelphia and 41 in delaware. temperatures in some of the suburbs from chester and montgomery county are cooler so if any of this mix comes in here later on tonight with temperatures right around 32 degrees you may see some slippery spots. again this, will not be a widespread ordeal. 36 in warrington and 36 in new hope right now. temperatures across the area are still not that bad right now. 41 in philadelphia and 38 millville, and the concern is mainly from the pennsylvania turnpike on northward. that's where you have the best chance of any kind of light mixture occurring. radar network showing some of that moisture down to our south.

again, most of this is not reaching the ground, but let's track it hour by hour. as you can see this, little pencil line moving to the north, that is that light mixture there right along the pennsylvania turnpike, i-476 up towards interstate 78 and 80 so just be aware of that, and once we get that out of here we're in the clear here for the rest of your monday. it looks like a nice day ahead of us. so temperatures tonight. 34 in philadelphia and north of west of the city and as we take a look at temperatures tomorrow we start chilly in the morning, mid to upper 30s and look at this. spike it into the mid to upper 40s and not a bad day ahead of us, and the ten-day forecast shows the spring tease ahead of us. unlike this week it will be almost warm in comparison. 46 on wednesday. winter officially arrives on thursday. that's our coolest day of the week and then as we look ahead towards christmas weekend you can see temperatures just a little too warm for snow. let's see what's cooking in
