and eventually we'll see some clouds and some snow showers spin back through. you can see on future tracker6 how as soon as noon we could see some stuff up north. as we go through the day up until 3:30 there's more snow showers coming through and remember some of that snow and especially up north could be blowing around again in the relatively strong gusts. looks like things clear out later tonight. future tracker also showing you how the wind chills are going to stay pretty raw even as late as 3 o'clock this afternoon it will probably not feel much better than it does now t with the winds building temperatures are rising. by 6 o'clock a lot of wind chills in the teens. several issues to think about today. first, we are going to see some more blowing snow up north that could reduce visibility or put some snow on the roadways at the last minute so you want to be careful of that. also throughout the central portion of the region and points south where we had that icing yesterday a lot of that is still on the branches and with the winds gusty and blowing around we could see more power outages with more falling branches. icy sidewalks and side streets, too, a particular

problem. here's where numbers are going today. 20 by 8 o'clock o we'll climb to a high of 29 probably not hitting that until about 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock tonight. clouds building after morning sunshine and high temperatures across the region not all that high. below freezing everywhere all the way down from allentown to millville. looks like a little above freezing in cape may and dover. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast shows a high of 29 this afternoon. brisk and cold, a snow shower is possible at times and again be careful of more falling branches and of course that blowing snow and the visibility problems. tomorrow mostly sunny and breezy, 37. for saint patrick's day partly sunny 38 degrees and at night into saturday there is the possibility of at least a wintry mix. doesn't look like it's a big thing right now and of course on saturday afternoon we're back up to 46. and 48 with partly sunny skies on sunday. sunshine on monday butterfly ushering in spring 46 degrees the high there and more clouds and 52 degrees on tuesday. starting to get milder.
