Many 30s to the north of philadelphia. As we head to the south we gain a couple degrees. Hammonton 41, vineland 43, Sea Isle City just 40 degrees but hockessin delaware one of those spots where its pretty chilly only 39 and wind chills, you take off at least 5 degrees from those numbers. There you see that little clip per system thats bringing snow through parts of western pennsylvania later on this evening but as that sinks to our south it will move over the mountains and rip apparent and the only thing left may be a flurry or two south and west of philadelphia late tonight early tomorrow morning. But no accumulating snow out of it north of philadelphia early tomorrow morning maybe some breaks of sun but then everyone gains that sunshine back as that system pushes off the coast tomorrow afternoon with High Pressure in control but still very chilly with a high tomorrow only at 45 degrees. Then were awaiting a warm front to pass through here on wednesday. As it moves through a lot of clouds will be thrown our way. Warmer temperatures of 52 but also a few afternoon showers before we really hit that warm air on thursday. But for tonight it turns cloudy. There could be a flurry around late in southern areas, 21 to 27 degrees. And your exclusive accuweather 7day forecast will show up and down in the Temperature Department here this week. It turns cloudy wednesday and afternoon shower of 52. Near 70 on thursday. Sounds great but its not going to be very pretty outside. A lot of clouds, on and off rain, maybe even a thunderstorm in the afternoon. In fact, future tracker at 2 oclock in the afternoon showing some steady rain along i95 and theres a cold front to the west which could bring a gusty thunderstorm through very late in the day. That drops the temperature on friday. Breezy, colder only 52. And then bitter cold on saturday. Our high only 39 degrees this coming weekend close to 20 degrees below normal. But then we recover some into the 40s and eventually 50s a week from now but right now at least the weekend does look on the dry side but only really one day out of the next seven we go above normal guys.
