They were also irish song, bagpipes of course and philadelphias irish mayor jim kenney helps lay a wreath at the memorial honoring the sigh rish immigrants and their pivotal role in philadelphias history. Its not that unusual to get snow during the st. Patricks day period or even after that. We had snow in april, many times, even some flurries into may. So, some snow from may 20th, the first day of spring, not that unusual. Were tracking showers, we still have some around but they are not as much as what we saw. A colder weekend, then a sunday snowstorm. Its going to be affecting the entire area. Sunshine now to end the day. Clouds for much of the day. 58 the wind is north at 8 miles an hour. Were in the 50s and most of the area, even mount pocono is 50. We did get in the 60s. Many places especially in delaware and south jersey where its 60 degrees in millville and also in dover. Weve got up to 63 degrees today, were going to be close to that tomorrow. Its going to be windy. Then the wind brings in the colder air for saturday and on sunday. Its really cold. Because its going to be snowing. Raining much of the day. So that will keep the temperature down. Showers left racing west to east. Generally much, much lighter than what we saw. Even an hour ago. As the sun goes down all that is going to fall apart totally. Through the rest of the night, its not all that cool for this time of the year.

As a storm develops along the North Carolina coast, going to be one of those kind of classic noreasters. Its going to be providing plenty of moisture. This is from the european model which has been consistent in the track of this storm, the development of the storm, the fact its cold enough for snow in much of our area.

And new england, looks like its going to get hit the hardest. A little too early for specific amounts for specific places. To give you an idea of the potential relatively low to the south because a lot of it is rain or melting. And the rain and melting question is the only reason its at medium from philadelphia south and east. Its going to be a lot of precipitation, a lot of hours of precipitation and so if more is snow, youve got a better chance of getting that four inches or more. Its a high chance. North and west because just about all of it is likely to be snow anyway. More on that coming later on tonight. Showers early, clearing late. 44 degrees for the low. During the day tomorrow, windy day, gusts over 35 miles an hour. Temperatures in the 60s.
