along the horizon. a breathtaking view here right before that sun is about to set on sky6 atlantic city. and if you look at the sand you still see some white there, so this time of year our jersey shore you don't have to go to the caribbean you got white sand here so go check it out. just go to jersey this time of year. >> the temperatures. >> oh, the temperatures are a problem. bundle up, you'll be okay. not going freeze. as we take a look at storm tracker6 live double scan -- i was trying to be optimistic here saying we got some pretty nice beaches here locally. as we look at storm tracker6 live, no precipitation a-few breaks in the clouds developing again very late in the day but at least you're getting a a glimmer or two of sun before it heads to bed. 23 right now philadelphia, 22 in trenton, 24 in the lehigh valley, so it is really bitter cold out there. but again, we're finally going to escape out of the 20's and even above freezing as we go

into the next 24 hours. satellite and radar, the only bad thing about this forecast is we're going to see a lot of clouds through the rest of the week. there's a warm front coming in from chicago. that front doesn't arrive until very late tomorrow, so for tonight partly cloudy, again, pretty frigid, 12 in the suburbs, 18 degrees for center city with a light south-southwesterly wind. future tracker 6:11 o'clock tomorrow morning, the first band of thick clouds passes through with the initial shot of that warm front with temperatures going above freezing for the first time since last thursday. we'll be in the upper 30's, near 40's at the shore tomorrow afternoon. at the same time some light precipitation will arrive, parts of berks county as well as the lehigh valley up into the poconos very late tomorrow during that evening rush hour there could be a little freezing rain at the onset before those temperatures can warm enough to warm those very cold surfaces so at 9 o'clock tomorrow night dealing with icing north of the lehigh tunnel but for the rest of us we're looking at rain passing

through overnight on tuesday, early wednesday. as you can see temperatures warming into the 40's and staying in the 40's as we get into wednesday morning, a few lingering showers and then we're in the 50's wednesday afternoon. there could be that possible light icing late tomorrow afternoon and evening. again quakertown, pottstown but especially lehigh valley to the north. it's not a lot but if you're traveling in this region tomorrow evening or tomorrow night, just watch for a few slick spots. but then there's a silver lining here. that six to 10 day outlook which basically goes right into the 20th or so of january, the greatest above normal temperatures will be the east coast here, so a long january thaw, normal 40 means it may only stay in the 40's near 50 but still something to look forward to if you don't like the temperatures winter. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast 38 tomorrow cloudy not as cold morning fog. milder wednesday 50. thaw continues thursday into friday, 50's to near 60 degrees. a lot of clouds. there could be a shower. only thing we'll have to watch

on saturday is there could be some wintry mix late in the day as some cold air tries to drain in for a day but then it's raw and damp sunday, 40 still little bit wet here on monday of 46 degrees. so, not the best seven-day forecast to see any sort of sunshine despite ups and downs in those temperatures. >> all right. thank you adam. >> yeah. >> what's the deal is coming up next. >> ♪
