And as we continue our searching of all the neighborhoods in our area, we have woodstown at 44, malika hill, cinnamonson, 47, pemberton at 47, florence 47, and princeton one of the cold spots at 44 degrees. You can see the clouds coming down from the northwest. Not much moisture with them, theyre fairly thin and they will be dying out as the sun goes down just like they did last night. But that moisture down by texas and the gulf of mexico, thats not going to be dying down, that will be moving in our direction on monday into tuesday. Hour by hour through the evening, youll see temperatures back through the 30s, even down below freezing in parts of the area, especially the poconos, where they could see a few snow flurries during the night.

We do have some seasonably cold air across the country, thats the third artic air mass thats come in this season. Its going to reach us by thursday night or friday, could be a quick changeover from rain to even a little bit of wet snow before that arctic air comes in, then it stays pretty cold all the way through next weekend, much, much colder than this weekend is going to be. And this weekends not exactly balmy, with temperatures holding in the 40s across the area, delaware getting up to 50 degrees on saturday, thats one of our warm spots, which is not very warm. And as we go through the rest of the 10day period, you can see, we got strong winds during the day on saturday, some rain from that gulf system monday, but more of that coming tuesday, i think tuesday might be the wettest day. Then we warm up just ahead of that arctic front and then once that comes through, youre going to feel it. Because we could see some pretty strong winds moving in, temperatures in the 30s during the day, teens at night, some snow flurries up toward the poconos, thats going to be feeling like winter starting nec friday and through next weekend. So like i said, this weekend is going to be mild by comparison. Will those winds will stronger than your arm, glenn . Yeah, well, the winds will just pick me up and fly me away.

We have temperatures that have dropped into the 40s, we had a couple of places that got into the low 50s today, but not anymore. 44 degrees in many of the p. A. Suburbs at the moment. The clouds coming down from the great lakes, starting to break up already, as the sun goes down, just like it did yesterday, still kind of windy. We have winds of 15 to 20 miles an hour.

As you go through the night, youll see the temperature continuing down through the 40s as we go through the evening here, and with the wind, it will feel like its in the 30s. By tomorrow morning, the actual air temperature in the 30s across just about the entire area. So that sets us up for a chilly weekend, but a fairly nice weekend overall.
