6:15 am
freezing. the difference this morning from what we saw yesterday and -- let's try that again -- and the day before that is we've lost those gusty winds. so, we're not dealing with harsh wind chills, we're just seeing pretty much cold temperatures especially compared to seasonal averages. we should be in the 40's and right now we're in the 20's. it's another cold morning around the region. we're expecting a little bit of drizzle to start moving into the area first thing tomorrow morning, intermittent type stuff. my concern is for the poconos because temperatures could be cold enough, just cold enough to where at the onset you see a little wintry mix, maybe some sleet or freezing rain before eventually going over to drizzle and then it will turn milder as we progress along through the new work week with temperatures climbing back up into the mid to upper 50's for highs. 32 degrees, freezing mark right now for philadelphia. dewpoints 22. winds are out of the north-north west at 5 miles per hour aren't the pressure reading is falling off slightly at 30.50-inches. numbers are clearly cold but it's nowhere near as cold as yesterday at this time. lancaster reading allentown all 27, trenton 26, 32 in
6:16 am
philadelphia. millville and wilmington 29 and cape may 30 degrees and again wind speeds are generally 3 miles per hour or less. so we're not dealing with wind chills this morning. here's satellite6 along with action radar. we're zoomed into the great lakes states and this is the next system that we're watching. warm enough for rain in places like chicago which picked up snow two days ago and again rain-snow line lifting to the north. it will get as far north as that u.s.-canadian border. as it approaches our region we're talking about a little bit of light drizzle, intermittent stuff, early tomorrow morning and we'll have to watch this part of our viewing area right here because it could fall in the form of freezing rain briefly before going over to rain first thing tomorrow. for today, morning clouds thinning out by afternoon. the afternoon actually looks pretty nice, combination of sun and clouds. overnight this model has the clouds lowering and thickening. we'll stop the clock at 9:00 a.m. now, this particular model doesn't show much of anything at all but several other forecast models show very light scattered drizzle throughout the area.
6:17 am
again the big concern is going to be right there north and west because by 6:00 a.m., 7:00 a.m., temperatures get to the freezing mark of 32 degrees in allentown and the poconos 31 degrees and then again we'll have to see. it's a timing issue here. will that moisture get in soon enough to create that wintry mix. if it hold off a little bit then there won't be any problems in the poconos tomorrow morning. today clouds and sun. it's a milder day. we're up top 48 degrees with a light breeze out of north-northeast at three to 5 miles per hour aren't the idea for today is starting out with a lot of clouds and then those clouds breaking for sun by afternoon so 11:00 a.m., 40 degrees. by 1 o'clock, 44. and then by 3 o'clock, 47. again, we're forecasting a high of 48. and then overnight tonight turning cloudy, it's cold again but these numbers much better. 29 degrees north and west, 35 center city. here's the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, clouds and sun, we lose the breeze so it's not harsh out there, 48 degrees. for tomorrow maybe morning drizzle. i'm going to change that a
6:18 am
little bit. sunshine by afternoon, 51 and then tuesday right through the weekend actually looks pretty nice with seasonable temperatures in the 50's. next chance of rain would be saturday with highs around 58 degrees. alicia. >> all right, chris, thank you time lapse video shows what looks like an ocean of clouds rolling over colorado springs. we're going get you that story in just a moment. the photographer -- all right. we're going to get you that in a moment. we'll be right back in just a few.

6:43 am
afternoon high of 39, yesterday we had an afternoon high of 40. today with a little bit of sun we should get up to about 48 or 49 degrees which is still a good 10 degrees or so below the seasonal average of 58 but it is quite a bit milder than where we've been over the last 48 hours. 33 degrees was the low temperature this morning. actually make it 32. we've dropped a degree. 27 in allentown, 23 in the month he poconos, 26 in trenton. cape may 30 and dover presently checking in at 29 degrees. satellite6 along with action radar so the cold air is still east of the appalachian mountains. all of this is actually lifting to the north and it should brush western portions of new england later this afternoon places like buffalo, maybe as far east as syracuse. you could see a little wintry mix out of that or some light rain later this afternoon. for us we're looking at cloud cover this morning giving way to some sunshine by afternoon. and the wider view shows a couple of systems here, a couple of areas of low pressure. first there's this one just to the west of chicago and then a
6:44 am
secondary low developing right around memphis-tennessee area. both lows will travel east during the course of the day and bring us some more cloud cover overnight tonight and the possibility of a little light drizzle first thing tomorrow morning. these are not big storms. for the most part they're moisture starved and again they won't last very long here. so, for today milder with clouds breaking for some sunshine. then we get into monday. this low by the time this thing really gets going, it's off the coast and all the heavier rains are off the coast as well. so, for monday we'll see perhaps a little bit of on and off drizzle and then clouds will eventually give way to some sunshine again by afternoon and then this high takes over for the rest of the week. that puts temperatures back into the mid to upper 50's for highs and keeps things tranquil. future tracker6 showing by afternoon clouds thinning out, we'll see the sun start to shine through. by 4 o'clock we'll say sun and clouds. overnight clouds increase again and here's the only concern that i have. this is first thing tomorrow morning. so, everybody looking at mainly just cloud cover.
6:45 am
perhaps a little intermittent drizzle for the city and the mediate surrounding suburbs but if you look close enough, this could actually start out, if the moisture gets in here quick enough, it could start out as a little freezing drizzle or perhaps some sleet pellets in the lehigh valley and the poconos. so that would be my only concern here with temperatures dropping below the freezing mark there. some of that could create some slippery spots especially let's say some of the secondary roads, parking lots, sidewalks, things like that. so, the northern portions of the lehigh valley, poconos, that's my concern first thing tomorrow morning for a brief period of sleet or freezing rain. and if you do see it, it should change over to drizzle very, very quickly. 45 degrees is today's high in allentown, reading 46. philadelphia 48. 49 in millville. and then 50 showing up to the south, dover, cape may and atlantic city and then overnight tonight temperatures dropping back down below freezing again north and west, lancaster 31, 29 in allentown, reading 30, 35 in philadelphia, and 32 in millville. here's your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, so it's a nice quiet week once we
