the understanding that sun is breaking through and 39 is the forecast high, a flurry and more likely than up north and down south. 44 in atlantic city, and cloudy and cool there, we'll go for a high this afternoon of 42 degrees, below average temperatures certainly and a flurry not out of the question, winds not bad at 6 miles per hour. tonight patchy clouds and brisk and cold, we'll go down to 28 in philadelphia, suburbs in the low to mid-20s, the winds are not all that bad. the cold overnight low, is with you at 5:00 in the morning. if are you among those planning to go out and get your shopping go, 32 by 11:00, we are looking at a cool shopper forecast for tomorrow morning. lots of layers and gloves and scarves and all of that. sunny breaks and cold, and 39 in the afternoon, we start out the

above the average high, that was set in the 1890s, oh my. and the low is below average and that gives an indication of what we are facing tomorrow, tomorrow is the day where a lot of you get out and go shopping, that is about where you'll be at at 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning, and the freezing mark at 5:00 or 6:00 or so. as we look at what we are looking at for the rest of the afternoon and evening, those of you traveling to families and celebrations, 42 by 2:00 and by 5:00, 38 degrees and 9:00, 32 degrees, and you only likely to see a flurry for precipitation and that won't affect the roads. taking a look at temperatures to the west, can you kind of get the picture there is a trough of cold air to the west and we stay

stop in michigan six months later. cochran initially called the hotel posing as another doctor and telling him to set up a house account for an out of town doctor, and then he did the same thing in michigan, telling a hotel he was doing work for a local hospital and the hospital would pick up the tab, that stay lasted 47 days, apparently the idea is not so far fetched. 20-year-old matthew shite was imprisoned for impersonating a doctor in 2011. and he took the charade further. he was interviewed in sports fox
