squalls into tomorrow afternoon in spots. and future tracker wind chills nine below for saturday afternoon in the lehigh valley, three below philadelphia, even below zero at the shore. and by saturday at 8:00 p.m., right around zero philadelphia. if you are going out tomorrow evening, wind chills generally below that freezing point and same thing as we go into sunday morning, 10 below philadelphia, 17 below trenton and near 30 below in the poconos. that four day at 4:00 forecast we're in the freezer here for the entire weekend and very windy tomorrow with temperatures dropping into the lower teens by the afternoon. record lows on sunday morning but it's sunny on valentine's day a-high of just 16 and then a round of light snow comes in in the late afternoon and evening on monday of 33 and it changes to some sleet, freezing rain and eventually a soaking rain with highs going into the 50's on tuesday, so a pretty active four day forecast and we'll have that seven day coming up in the next half hour. >> all right, adam, thank you.

19 degrees but again, the timing is anywhere around 11 o'clock those far northwestern suburbs to around 5 o'clock philadelphia to the south and the east. after that front passes early in the morning, it is a freefall here on saturday with the temperatures. our high should come in right around 7 o'clock in the morning of 20 degrees. by 10 o'clock, dropping to 19. 1 o'clock, 17. 15 at 4 o'clock and by 7 o'clock tomorrow night, the air temperature already down to 12 degrees. and that's only one side of the story. then a wind chill advisory kicks in at 6:00 p.m. on saturday. future tracker wind chills already going below zero north and west. early on saturday morning one in philadelphia, two in millville. and even into the afternoon, they will continue to drop. two below in philadelphia, three below at the shore. 21 below up in the poconos. and then saturday night into sunday morning, that's when records will be broken across some of the area and wind chills as you can see will be below 10 degrees below zero. so, you're talking 13 below,
