cover it acts like an atmospheric blanket that keeps the numbers a little bit milder. you factor in the breeze which really isn't all that strong, it's roughly westerly 5 miles per hour but it's good enough to drop the numbers down a little bit. it feels like 32 in trenton, 32 in wilmington. we're not going to be dealing with a gusty breeze. even though the temperatures are going to be on the chilly side we won't have to worry about harsh wind chills. we started out with just a sliver of sun this morning but now the clouds have quickly rolled in and you can see a little bit of moisture starting to pop up now across the ohio and tennessee valleys. one thing i've been explaining all morning, here's the good news. a lot of this is going to evaporate before it makes it into the delaware and lehigh valley. the air with the high is very dry. so as this moisture encounters that dry area of high pressure,

a lot just evaporates. there could be some moisture that falls overnight tonight but we're not looking at anything too terribly heavy. here's the good news if you don't like the cold weather. this little air mass was sitting right here yesterday morning. it's already retreating north up into canada and this is where things are going to start feeling better especially tomorrow and tuesday. we start tapping into some of the warmth. it's already 68 degrees in new orleans. all that air is lifting north over the next couple of days and we say good-bye to the 20s and 30s hello to the 40s and 50s. tuesday we could reach 56. some areas could get close to 60 degrees come tuesday afternoon. so here's future tracker 6. today it's mainly a cloudy day. that cloud cover limits the warming of the sun. and as we get close to the midnight hour tonight we'll start to see some moisture overspread the area and note the shades of blue. that's the model's way of depicting a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain and it's

mainly north and west of the delaware river. from philly south and east it looks like you'll be fine. north and west there could be slick spots out there first thing in the morning. as we get into the afternoon the skies begin to brighten and temperatures will respond nicely. for today mostly cloudy with a high of 41. overnight cloudy and chilly. this 29 is more like for temperatures in the lehigh valley and getting into the poconos, 34 for center city area south and east. spotty showers likely there. north of the pennsylvania turnpike this is what you have to watch out for. we're going to get into that brief period, maybe a 3 or 4-hour window, we'll see a light wintry mix, perhaps some snow flakes or sleet pellets with temperatures close to freezing or slightly below that there could be icy patches. from the city south and east you're fine, north and west watch out first thing tomorrow morning. 41 chilly today. here comes the warm-up monday. 47, big-time warm-up for

of the nature. arctic in nature to the polar vortex. scenario number one says the east coast is warm, all that cold air holds off to the west, but scenario number two which has shown up on the last several runs shows that cold arctic air pressuring the boundary layer down to the south across the carolinas and that's important because if this is true, an area of low pressure moves into the cold air and it could be snow for most of the atlantic on christmas day. the other scenario if that mild air holds true, it forces everything farther to the north, the cold air doesn't get here in time, and all of a sudden it's not snow, it's rain. there is a shird scenario that it shows the cold air pressing so far down to the south that it takes the low and pushes it out to sea. a lot of christmass we don't even have a chance of seeing a white christmas. any given year the probability of a white christmas in philadelphia is only 8%. i'm going to bump that up to 30%

philadelphia points south and east, a spotty shower is possible, maybe some patchy drizzle. other wise a cloudy night, 29 in places like bethlehem and allentown. this 34 is for philadelphia and the immediate surrounding suburbs. getting into that little period of frozen precipitation north of the pennsylvania turnpike here temperatures are close to the freezing mark of 32. anything that does fall in the form of sleet or freezing rain it's going to stick. therefore there could be icy patches out there first thing tomorrow morning all of this precipitation clears, which i do want to point out it's not going to be much to begin with. but all of it clears by 7:00 a.m. or so tomorrow morning. and then here comes the pattern change. right now we're still holding on to the colder air. it will turn much, much milder as we head into the new workweek as the jet stream lifts all the way up here to the u.s.-canadian border and here comes christmas eve. this is the cold air that's going start pressing. here's your jet stream right here. and this is really, really cold.
