hands and doing all those precautions because flu sickness is rampant out there and a lot of sickness. fr frigid temperatures continue all the way through monday. we do have a system coming in here tuesday into wednesday. right now trending towards the lighter side, but i wouldn't be surprised if you see that trend go in another direction. and balmy for the birds it looks like next sunday. temperatures going back into the 50s. but it's a cold right now in center city. it feels like 60 degrees, but that's not stopping the eagles hangover right now. a lot of people out there celebrating. and if you are make sure you are dress accordingly because these numbers are quite numbing. 6 in philadelphia, that's what it feels like. and 14 below in the poconos. just down right painful up

there. 5 in the poconos, 21 in philadelphia, and 25 in wildwood. the breeze is pretty substantial here tonight. a big change from last saturday night. everybody was smothered and covered in snow. now basically no snow except for the snow plows in the parking lot sa lots right now. temperatures in the upper 20s, the wind chills again in the upper teens. so don't look at the car t thermometer or bank thermometer. as we work our way into monday, which is the holiday for many of you, martin luther king day, temperatures 30 to 35. if you're out and about doing some acts of service, it looks like a nice day to be outside. tuesday storm system, our

scenario number one, and this is the most likely scenario, this storm systems stays well-off shore. the coastal storm, that would take the heavier storm well-off the east coast. scenario number two not off the table just yet, this lower pressure develops close to coast, that would mean heavier snow in the delaware valley. again, stay tuned. th that forecast may change. temperatures in the 30s and then there's that warm up for the birds, next weekend 55 degrees. how about that? danny pommels with sports. steve, i love the warmer temperatures. the eagles red hot as well. they've done something none of the major teams in town have done since 2012, advance in the playoffs even while wearing the underdog tag.

lugarret blunt stretches it and scores. late in the half eagles get a break. foles throws a pass and the immaculate knee-ception. birds trailing byjf one. 10-9 at intermission. fourth quarter birds up 15. just over a minute left. fourth and goal for the falcons. matt ryan rolls out, but can't connect. eagles going to championship game 15-10. john clark has more from the link. >> you're wrong again. i guess you ain't never played football. the eagles can't do what? >> reporter: underdogs and just the way the eagles like it. they wore a dog mask, yes, because they're underdogs. and now the birds 4 and 0 in

playoff history. and you know what, they'd like to be underdogs again right here going into the nfc title game. >> me and lane decided we'd order these masks. it was time to put the masks on. we were looking for each other, but i couldn't find his scent. >> it's a lack of respect for the guys that work every day, that we work with, and it's a lack of respect for the team, our fan base. the fact we have these games at home and we're still the underdog. but it's cool. philly always been an underdog. we love that story. we love the fight. >> it really doesn't matter what you guys talk about because that locker room in there is united. i'll go to bat for everyone of those guys in that dressing room. >> reporter: and how big was this win? they were doing the soul train line in the locker room and jeffrey lorry cut ahead of a player to throw it down in the

locker room. how amazing is this video? and if they go to the super bowl, what will they do next? >> while many people were locked in on the birds, thes were coming off -- hoping to climb into one of the two wild card spots. power play goal, second of the game. flyers up 3-2. less than five minutes into the third beautiful pass. flyers over the devils 5-3. in college basketball defeating st. john 71-70 tonight.

and welcome back. your ten day forecast, still in the icebox. 31 on your martin luther king day. and then all eyes on a potential

storm system that may deliver some snow tuesday evening into wednesday morning. interesting to say the least. >> all right. try to stay warm tomorrow. i'm denise nakano. "snl" is next.
