It is near chilly weather right now, rather than bitter cold. It is still about ten degrees below average, but yesterday was 20 to 25 below average. Were tracking snow and that southern storm looks like it is getting a little closer. And also looks like it is going to affect the morning rush during the day tomorrow. We have a lot of sunshine out there right now. The temperature, 34 degrees. 17mileanhour wind doesnt exactly help it feel balmy. But it is better than it was. 29 in allentown. The rest of the area is 30 or above. Several places already above the freezing mark. And with sunshine it is going to be some melting today. And then some refreezing tonight. Were 16 to 20 degrees warmer than we were at this time yesterday. So that is quite a change. We have some clouds in the area right now. But theyre not really directly related to this southern storm. A lot of rain down there, snow on the north side and gulf of mexico, moisture moving in. There is ice in parts of mississippi. Ice and snow in alabama. And in georgia, and huge amounts of snow in north carolina. Even up to virginia beach. Here is how it is going to affect us.

And it is barely getting up to the philadelphia area as we go into the 9 00 10 00 hour continuing in delaware and south jersey. And then it just tapers off to a few little snow flurries by early afternoon. Thats the latest computer guidance. Here is my latest forecast for the amounts of snow 3 to 6 inches before it is all over with in much of Sussex County and delaware and perhaps right around cape may and up to wildwood. 2 to 4 inches in central delaware kent county also much of atlantic county. And then about an inch as we head towards the philadelphia area. And well look at that map here. Perhaps a coating, up to an inch in and around philly. As we go further to the north and west less and less of a chance of any kind of measurable snow, though there could be some flakes falling in even some of the northern or western suburbs. And a little bit of a change in the track of that storm could make a big difference in those snow totals. Well keep watching it. Today, mostly sunny skies, high clouds temperatures in the mid to upper 30s. The average high is 47. So were still below that. One of the warmest days we have seen this month. Tomorrow, the snow mainly south and east. And mainly in the morning. And there is some accumulation there, the visibility is knocked down during the rush hour especially in delaware and extreme south jersey. It is going to be have an impact there. Friday and saturday were bitter cold, at least into saturday morning. And then we get into a pattern that is a little bit wetter not extremely cold but on the border line between snow rain and in some cases some icing threats.

And about 1500 little girls will be in the audience watching those others on stage and they can bring their doll to the fashion show. Im sure theyre wishing they were on the stage as well. They get to be on stage during intermission. Some of the girls and dolls are inspired by different eras. Right. Does this help them in any way, shape or form, learn something about history .

Now your nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz. Looks like were going to end up as the fifth coldest february ever recorded in philadelphia. But we have a little bit of a break today, a little milder. It is merely chilly and not brutally cold. We continue to track snow that will affect a part of the area tomorrow and it is going to affect the morning rush in those parts of the area. Now, i have a lot of sunshine now, high clouds in parts of the area. 34 degrees, 17mileanhour winds, makes that 34 and not exactly feel like 34. This is one of the areas most likely to see snow on the ground and on the beach by this time tomorrow morning. And visibility probably wont be anywhere near as good as this. This is cape may from the Marquis Delafayette hotel. You can see the temperatures are generally in the 30s. Many places already above freezing, 29 in allentown, though. And with the stronger suns rays, were seeing some melting of the snow. And then thats going to refreeze tonight. Just some high clouds up in this area. This is fairly large storm, back across the south, the northwestern colder edge of it is seeing the snow. And thats pretty far south. Thats louisiana, getting snow now. Mississippi, alabama, georgia, going to get some significant snow, at least in parts of the states. Were not going to see anything through midnight tonight. But as we go into the Early Morning hours, here it comes, up from the south. And the darker shades the heavier snow of course thats in southern parts of the area. We have valley berks county not going to see anything from that. Maybe a couple of snow flurries by afternoon. So it is not going to last that long. But the timing isnt exactly great for this. Once again, well go in real detail here Sussex County getting the heavier snow along with Cape May County. Thats at 6 00 a. M. Some light snow getting up pretty close to philadelphia. There is 8 00 a. M. Were showing this hour by hour here. And it is covering a good bit of the area. By 9 00 it is starting to get a little bit lighter and then it is breaking up by 11 00. And were just left with a couple of flurries by 2 00 in the afternoon. Expecting a total of 3 to 6 inches in much of Sussex CountyRehoboth Beach one of those places to get it. Much of kent county and delaware, 2 to 4 inches. That also includes Atlantic City and ocean city and millville and vineland. But just a little bit of a shift to the north in the track of that storm brings these higher amounts farther north. And the trend over the last day or so has been more to the north. And then farther to the north in the philadelphia area right now, were expecting somewhere around an inch with less or nothing to the north and west. Again, a little bit more to the south. Little bit of a change of track, brings some of those higher amounts, even up through the philadelphia area. So we have to watch this very closely. New computer information continues to come in. Well have an update on that at starting at 4 00 this afternoon.
