Watch the new Eyewitness News starting monday at 4 30. Lets check the weather for that day and others. Yes. Weve got a mixed bag coming up, rider, lots of wind. A lot going on. Its a season of transition and were going to be transitioning back and forth real quick here over the next couple of days with a lot going on. An arctic and active pattern taking over. Two of everyones favorite words when it comes to weather. Not mine. A snow shower possible, another favorite word northwest mainly northwest of the city tonight and then were going to be contending with those high winds late tonight through tomorrow morning and even partial into tomorrow afternoon as well. Cold air settles in for tomorrow, wind chills in the 20s and 30s all throughout the day. Another snow shower possible. I think even in the city as we head into monday night and then cold and windy on tuesday, so, yeah, taking a little bit of a break from spring but soak in these temperatures while you can. 58 degrees in philadelphia, low 50s down the shore but upwind theres this much colder air mass, temperatures in the 20s and 30s across portions of the midwest on the backside of a system that will come swinging in overnight in the Delaware Valley. Because of that cold air in place and were already starting to see some spring growth we have a freeze warning in effect for parts of the area, chester and western montgomery counties, overnight tonight through the Morning Hours tomorrow, so if you have the spring planters want to bring them inside or cover them up and protect them because of these cold temperatures that will be in store. Storm scan3 showing us pretty quiet across the Delaware Valley right now but this is a system we have our eye on right now, an area of low pressure swinging out of the midwest. Not a ton of moisture in association with this system but theres enough t it will move very quickly as well but as we zoom closer in just a couple of sprinkles right now as we head into the overnight period that will bring us a round of mainly shower activity and i think we could even hear a rumble of thunder overnight tonight. Look how quickly the swings through into the 1 oclock hour. I notice your eyes focused on the white and purple. Sans chance of a snow shower in the Higher Elevations of the poconos, maybe into the lehigh valley. I dont think well see anything in the way of wintry weather in philadelphia overnight tonight but its going to feel like winter as we wake up tomorrow morning. Check out some of these numbers, in the 30s, luckily its sunday, we can just lang hg indoors, watch netflix. Temperatures will struggle. 5 oclock still in the 30s and allentown 20s in the poconos low 40s in philadelphia and then we have those strong winds on top of that to make it feel even colder. Future weather taking us into sunday night and early monday morning, a much more formidable band of moisture moving in. Do notice some snow showers breaking out across the poconos. We could see he maybe a snow shower sneaking into the city but again we wont see any accumulation from that on monday morning, just a kind of unpleasant sight as we head into april. Current wind speeds right now a little bit of a breeze starting to kick up but that is going to be an intense wind as we head into the overnight period. Winds gusting a bit but we could see wind gusts potentially as i was talking about at the top of the show 50 to 60 miles per hour. You think about if a thunderstorm has winds potentially of 60 miles an hour, it gets a Severe Thunderstorm Warning so these winds are going to be very strong. If you have the patter yo furniture, i know a lot of us have gotten things and but them outside because of the warmer weather want to bring them all in because tonight and tomorrow well see these winds west to northwest steady 25 to 35 miles per hour, gusting to 50 to 60 miles per hour. That could contribute to some down branches, even downed power lines so do prepare for that just in case we see these things happening tonight. A round of showers, maybe isolated thunderstorm, very windy down to sledge degrees. Tomorrow very windy, chilly, 45 our high temperature. Mostly sunny conditions but thats really not going to help us out too much with the temperatures struggling. We bounce back a bit on monday up to near 60 degrees but periods of rain, windy conditions, its going to be windy all week long. Chilly again on tuesday, highs only in the middle 40s. Still pretty chilly into wednesday, visitor degrees. Another round of rain and storms into thursday. Temperatures even struggle as we head into the end of the week. So,. Oh boy,. Not everyones favorite forecast but, you know i know. Dont shoot the messenger. I know. We still love you, dont worry. Im sorry. Thanks so much lauren. Well head back to houston where Lesley Van Arsdale is standing by with the nova nation fans. Cant wait for this game. Lesley. Reporter oh, im telling you, its already neck and neck between villanova and oklahoma. A chance to play for that National Championship title with a win tonight. We can only hope and keep our fingers crossed. But lets talk about another important game that happened earlier in the day today. That was the flyers taking on ottawa at the center. Theyre still tied with detroit for that final playoff spot. Lets get to that game and in the second period, we have voracek passes to simmonds for his 27th goal of the season. The flyers leading one to nothing. Later on, we had Sean Couturier denied but then knocked in his 11th going of the year. Flyers up two to nothing. And then in the third period, the flyers with a twoone lead, simmonds able to make his second goal of the game. Steve mason with 33 saves. The flyers win this one, threetwo. The guys are playing some solid hockey. We found a way to win today and, you know, we just have to keep building on it. Tomorrow is going to be a real tough test. Theyre playing some of the best hockey of the year right now so we got to be ready. We dont have the luxury of rest. The schedule doesnt afford it right now so its something that we got to take care of ourselves and mentally be ready to go again tomorrow. Reporter well, right across the street we had the phillies taking on their top prospect. This is the final tuneup before the Season Opener cincinnati. Lets get to the game and in the first inning the big fella, ryan howard at the plate and just able to crush this pitch right here. Went off the base wall. Darin ruf is able to score on this one. Ryan with a double. And the phillies take the lead. Then in the ninth inning of the game its all tied up Cesar Hernandez with a walkoff single. Major leaguers win this 16 to five. Will a real gun spring. Guys are swinging the bat wel well. Im anxious to see how it plays out during the course of the early season. Like i said, we take what we did in the spring training very positively and the guys are really ready to play.
