Right now we recovered some from the this morning but still a brutal 23 in philadelphia, 19 in allentown 25 in dover, 10 in the poconos, Atlantic City 24 degrees but you factor in the winds, which have calmed down some since this morning but even with speeds of 10, 13, 15 miles an hour around the region, it is dropping those wind chills. It feels like seven in allentown and reading, nine in lancaster, 11 wilmington, 14 in millville and four lonely degrees in the poconos. We are timing that system for tomorrow. Again, its an arctic front but this one has a lot of energy with it and as it pushes through, well start to see some of those snow showers and snow squalls developing in the early afternoon far to the north and west and then it will start to break out around 3 oclock along i95, wilmington philadelphia, trenton and they will drop a general one to 3inches across our region and then well start to see some bands set up during the evening hours. This is 6 oclock and those snow squalls in the small bands will be very intense as they pass through and at 8 30 it clears to the west. Were still seeing some of those snow squalls east of philadelphia and with a lot of folks out and about tomorrow afternoon and especially in the evening, if youre heading out to dinner for valentines day you need to watch these snow squalls want to 3 oclock and 8 oclock.

Tonight eight in allentown, 12 in trenton, 10 in millville. The clouds will be picking up and there will be less wind overnight tonight so we get a little break tonight and as we look at the four day at 4 00 snow squalls tomorrow and temperatures theyre going to be in the 30s and then as we head into sunday, wind chills will be below zero through much of the day with sun and clouds and then on monday wind chills near 10 degrees. That is it for the holiday with a high of just 19 after starting at 2 00 in the morning and then clouds will be thickening up as we get into the afternoon on tuesday so overall it is a brutal weekend hopefully have that loved one that will keep you warm at your heart despite Mother Nature giving us the cold shoulder.

Double scan live radar all is quiet locally here right now and for tonight but another clipper system is near Lake Superior and you see limited moisture with this right now but as it sinks to the south and east, because it will have such a powerful force of wind behind it well really get the atmosphere excited to bring a band of snow quickly through here tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening. It wont last long but it will quickly drop 1 to 3 inches of snow so a Winter Weather advisory was just issued for saturday afternoon and saturday evening basically for the entire viewing area, meaning that some slick travel will be expected during those hours so what to expect any time after the lunchtime hour tomorrow, through the early evening hours were looking again at a general 1 to 3 inches. All the models have good consensus saying its between that one and a half to two and a half inch range for philadelphia and its going to be that light fluffy snow because temperatures will be so cold and then behind that come sunday morning the winds will really crank up.

If youre trying to get to the new jersey turnpike in salem county you cant do so by 130. I would go up to 295 via harding highway and get drown toward the delaware Memorial Bridge. Overturned vehicle crash on on the northbound side of 95 at 896 taking out the right lane. 95 in pennsylvania locked up with speeds at 10 Miles Per Hour. At the schuylkill is the moment its very dark but if we could see trust me its jammed in both directions by the vine street expressway. Well check it again brian and shirleen at 5 oclock. The worst traffic conditions ive ever been. Right. Were losing apparently. Thank you my gleaned meteorologist adam joseph back with a slightly brighter accuweather 7day forecast coming up next. Yes please. Grab your loved one hold them tight this weekend cause its going get nasty cold out there. It is. Ive been trying to think of different adjectives to talk about the cold coming in. Ive run out of them. Its just cold. Just down right cold and eventually dangerous. As we take a look at double scan live radar all is quiet. We got a lot of sun out there today but doing very little to warm us up. 19 right now in allentown, 20 in trenton. The poconos 10 degrees. 25 in dover and even at the shore between about 23 and 24 degrees. Wind chill, though, this is how it feels. This is the number you want the look at the next few days before you step out. Feels like 11 in philadelphia, seven in allentown and reading, 13 in wildwood and only 4 degrees in the poconos. We are tracking another clipper system and this particular arctic front and associated low Pressure Center once again doesnt have a lot of moisture with it right now but it is very intense with its cold arctic air behind it that its going have a lot of power with wind and that is why this is going to get a little extra lift in the atmosphere to squeeze some moisture out. So at noontime tomorrow well see some of those snow showers breaking out in the far northwestern suburbs. Then they approach philadelphia wilmington, trenton around 3 oclock. Now, the initial snow showers may be on the light side. But as the front approaches Late Afternoon and evening around 6 oclock you starter to see these bands setting up. Those are what are called snow squalls. Theyre known as snow squalls. They can quickly drop one to 3inches of snow as they pass through and by 9 oclock theyll be pushing off to the east and well be drying out but a lot of us will be out and about tomorrow with valentines day and dinner dates in the evening and when these snow squalls pass through between about 3 oclock and 8 oclock they can create quick whiteout conditions. That he reduce visibility. The winds will be very strong with the squalls and it will create some dangerous travel for a very short amount of time so you want to be very cautious if you start to see a wall of whiteheading your way tomorrow afternoon and evening. Then the winds behind the squalls really kick up all night long. Saturday night into sunday morning 50 miles an hour in allentown, near 56 in millville and dover and clocking in close to 45 to 50 across much of the area and with those powerful winds that will pick up overnight saturday into sunday, they could reach speeds of near 60 miles an hour. It could bring down some branches and trees very easily. That could create some Power Outages and with such intense dangerous cold, following that front and the winds, you may want to have a backup plan in the back of your head just in case you lose power with wind chills like this on sunday morning, six below in allentown, nine below in philadelphia, 12 below in millville and close to 20 degrees below zero in the poconos. Not too bad tonight when you look at eight to 16 and light winds as clouds thicken up so we get a little break tonight and then on the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, 36 tomorrow. Well watch those snow squalls that will be intense in the afternoon and then the arctic invasion arrives on sunday. Wind chills all day zero to 15. Below zero with air temperatures at 19 and then overnight sunday night into monday morning, were forecasting a low of 2 degrees. Records to watch. It could tie or break a record from the late 1800s and were also expecting temperatures from wilmington to trenton to be close to that 0degree mark and at record and it stays cold on monday for the holiday. Wind chills near 10 all day. Clouds thicken up on tuesday of 34 and the system that wanted to come through here tuesday and wednesday looks like it may miss us to the south give us a few snow showers wednesday morning. Right now not a big deal but then were become into the 20s again thursday and friday so it seems like one arctic outbreak after another is kind of marching in from the north and west guys.

Hi, monica, hi rick. Cold moved in today and it sets up shop as we head into the weekend. The worst of the cold moves in saturday and sunday. Check out morning wind chills. Allentown this morning you woke up with temperatures feeling like they were 15 degrees below zero. Philadelphia this morning it felt like 9 degrees below zero and Atlantic City down the shore it felt like temperatures were close to 10 degrees below zero. And not much recovery this afternoon, even early this evening, most spots still feeling like they were in the low teens along that 95 corridor. Areas to the south and east it feels like 11 in the city, feels like 7 degrees only in allentown and it feels like currently a wind chill of 4 degrees in the poconos along the coast in wildwood feeling like 12 degrees. So, the core of that arctic air moves in as we get into saturday afternoon and saturday night and heres part of the reason why. Were tracking a clipper system thats going to be working its way eastward. As this clipper system moves through we could find anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of snowfall but in the wake of this clipper system moving on
