pottstown 3/4 mile visibility. that's accumulating snow. reading is fairly heavy and coatesville is very heavy snow. you can get an inch or more an hour at that kind of rate. wilmington itself a half mile is certainly accumulating snow. but in philadelphia, so far not quite there. wait until the band of snow gets there. and no snow in much of south jersey including the areas where it is raining. as we go through the next several hours, the temperature is going to be very critical. but it's also not going to be dropping a lot. and as it drops the snow is kind of moving out. so, again i'm not expecting any widespread problems for tomorrow morning. how much snow? we're still in that target area to the north and west, but less than an inch farther to the south. 1 to 3 inches around the philadelphia area, bucks, montgomery county may get a quick inch this evening. but chester county, parts of berks county, 3 to 5 inches. then watch what happens here. the cold air comes in later in the week. and then it gets even colder. this is arctic air. it's not just arctic air. we trace that air back across the north pole all the way to si

morning, but by afternoon you'll think it's march or april, as temperatures climb into the upper 40s and low 50s throughout the area. 31 is the number for pottstown29. saint davids 31. chester, 34. we have a breeze this morning so the windchills are a good three to four degrees colder than the actual numbers. glassboro, 35. vineland, 32. woodbine, 35. hammonton, 34. satellite and radar, we'll start out with a decent amount of sunshine and see the high, thin clouds overspread the area from south to north. later this afternoon as the coastal storm gets going off the coast of cape hatteras, north carolina. it is heading out to sea. if it was coming 0 up the coast we would be shoveeling 6 to 1 inches of snow. 36 degrees. 11:00 p.m., 42. 46 by 1:00 p.m. 3:00 p.m., 48 degrees shooting for a high of 49. again, some areas south and east could hit 50 degrees and maybe a little bit warmer. looks what's waiting in the wings to the north. up on the horse of the hudson bay -- up on the shores of the hudson bay it is 40 below zero. wait until you see what it does to temperatures by valentine's day. it's not a pretty sight. guys? >>> we're two days away from th
