6:24 pm
out there. a few clouds moving in from the north. there were a couple sprinkles in the poconos and this is the cold front that will introduce more winter-like air as we get into the weekend. right now it's 49 degrees in mount pocono. that number dropped basically 10 degrees in the last hour. still fairly mild reading allentown, lancaster in the upper 50. 63 millville and dover and pretty equal to that in wilmington but we've had those very strong winds ahead of that front out of the westerly direction today, 9444 miles an hour in many locations. most of the scattered showers are off to our north and you can see they're really starting to fade as we're losing that daytime sunlight and once the sun sets, the clouds will fall apart and then our eyes are way to the south. you can see moisture starting to pull together here. it is still rather a fracture so he to speak but it will pull itself together and develop a storm off the coast and that will send a lot of precipitation through the
6:25 pm
midatlantic and eventually the northeast. but for tonight, we've got there clearing sky. it turns brisk and colder. 20's in the northern and western suburbs, the majority of the region buffer the freezing .38 philadelphia, 36 wilmington, 39 cape may and toms river at 36 degrees. as we get into your saturday, it starts bright in the morning. a little chilly with temperature in the lower 40's. 45 at noon and then clouds really 36 ken up quickly during the afternoon hours and even a few showers developing late in the afternoon from the south working its way north with a temperature coming in at 48. as we look at future tracker, tomorrow evening at 7:00 p.m., you can see some mixed rain and snow showers in southern areas it's just cloud deal. north of philadelphia tomorrow evening into tomorrow night and then the real bulk of the precipitation as this nor'easter develops pulls in. sunday morning this is lunchtime that wet snow north and west, temperatures well above freezing so melting on most surfaces throughout the day on sunday with rain south and east. that continues 5 o'clock
6:26 pm
sunday afternoon. wet snow north and west. at this point it will start to accumulate on some of the grass, the trees, the cars but again, wet pavement south of the city, still only seeing that cold rain and that continues into sunday night with that wet snow north and west. mainly rain south and east but even in southern areas it will change to some wet snow before it ends. those far southern areas of new jersey, delaware at the very end sunday night a quick coating to an inch is likely but for the majority of our area, we're looking at one to 3-inches of that wet snow and some of the higher terrain in southeastern pennsylvania like chester county near elverson or montgomery county up in the lehigh valley there could be some pockets of 4-inches. so, it's that very heavy wet snow, mainly melting on the roads and elevation plays a big role in march snowstorms. the higher you're up the more snow that can stick and then the rain/snow line very tricky as we go into sunday and sunday night. exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, 48 tomorrow sun
6:27 pm
giving way to clouds and again that wet snow and rain south and east kind of a mixture here on sunday of 38 degrees. but then by monday it's brisk chilly, the sun is back of 46. near 50 come tuesday. and then wednesday and beyond spring will officially arrive so to speak of how it feels outside with those temperatures getting near 70 degrees. >> thank you adam. abc's "world news tonight" with david muir next on channel6.
