Ultimate doppler showing the rain really clearing philadelphia, moving toward the jersey shore but it will be ending. Take a look at these totals. Doylestown over an inch. Close to it in trenton. Philadelphia over three quarters of an inch of rain most of that this evening. Allentown half inch and reading only two tenths of an inch of rain. Right now temperatures are mild as i mentioned philadelphia 64. The cold air is in the northern planes. Some 20s and 30s this is moving toward the delaware valley. So we see cold temperatures to start off the day tomorrow in the 40s. But turning colder as this front moves on through saturday into sunday thats when we will be feeling the coldest air of the season beginning to move into the region. 55 for your high tomorrow with sunshine. On the seven day forecast, it gets colder for the temple owls game on saturday, 52. For the birds on sunday 49. Monday will be the coldest day of the fall season. And then temperatures slowly climb. Tuesday, wednesday and even into thanksgiving day on thursday. So far looking pretty good. As we look at the seven day forecast you know the holidays are quickly approaching and so is the colder weather. It has been a mild fall but that doesnt mean well escape winter completely. The fox 29 Weather Authority winter outlook will prepare you tonight. Well start with meteorologist sue serio. Winter in philadelphia, we tend to remember the bad ones like this storm in january of 1996 the biggest ever, 30. 7in 30. 7inches. Just a few years ago the winter of 2002010 was the snowiest winter we ever had. 78. 7inches. Last winter, our coldest night was february the 20th with a low temperature of 2 degrees. It felt like it was below zero. But no temperature ever got that low. As of snowfall, hard al flake fell until january 6th when we got an inch and a half. With only three more storms after that, we ended up with a seasonal total of 27incheinche. During winter ahead we have Something Different in play. Heres dave warren. Thank you sue sue. We have to talk about el nino for this winters forecast. Thousands of miles ocean water temperature very warm and can actually impact our weather. We had two jet streams the polar jet and pacific jet with warmer air to the south it works to push that polar jet farther north and get the strong pacific jet. What does that mean for our weather here . Well, typically we could see warmer temperatures with el nino a strong el nino and frequent storms to the south and they may try to work their way up the coast but the air is so warm its mostly just rain. A number of forecasts for winter early to late with the el nino peaking but dropping towards the end of winter. So we could see more of an impact from el nino for the start of winter as opposed to the end. Above average snowfall across siberia not expanding as rapidly as past winters when you get to situations like this, it could lead to colder temperatures he here. For the specifics on the temperatures month by month lets go scott williams. Thanks, dave. With the presence of strong el nino this season it look like it will be mild start to the winter months. Especially december and january. However, it looks like that el nino pattern could break down a little bit toward the second half of winter allowing some of that colder air for canada and, yes, the polar vortex to head in our direction. In particular, during the month of february. Also, watching the wild card negative ao, negative atlantic oscillation. That pattern could set up shop and also funnel down some of that colder cold arctic air linking up with moisture to provide some snow. So what does all of this mean for the temperature outlook for the winter season 20152016 . Look at the temperatures for the month of december. Running about 4 degrees above average for the month. January about 3 degrees above average and then watching for some of that colder air the second half of winter. So february temperatures on average 3 degrees below the normal. And then for the month of march, about 2 degrees below average. So it does look like we will see some coldest air of the season and likely snow the second half of the season as well. Right, kathy . Absolutely, scott. But as you mentioned, it will be a mild start to the winter season. That means more rain than anything else in the month of december. Even when we have a cold snap its not going to stick. So any snow will quickly change to rain. Not amounting to much. This means there will only be a slight 20 chance of a white christmas. December snowfall below the 3. 5inch Monthly Average. In january, get roar shovel ready there will be a better chance of an accumulating snow but i think the moisture supply will be limited. Once again, snow amounts will be below the Monthly Average of 6. 5inches. Snow lovers theres better news for february. When the impact of he will known know weakens. This will be our best chance of seeing one or two significant snowfalls. February snow will be well above the 9inch average and remember theres always a chance snow could fall in march. This leads to a fox Weather Authority forecast of 16 to 22inches of snow this winter. Slightly less than the annual average of 22. 4inches. So mainly below average, but one or two storms, you know, could get us there. One or 26inch or more snowfal snowfalls. How do you feel. Thats too much for me. I cant wait until were doing the summer outlook. There you go. Big summer of 2016 outlook. Im waiting for that one too.

Son, the Holiday Seasons just like football season. You got your big games. Cheese plates, turkey, appetizers. And regular games. Get it all at a great price. And the Holiday Season is won. Thats my boy fill your cart with everything you need this season, all at one place. My giant. Philadelphia does not have whole lot going on positive with their sports right now. Another tough night for the flyers. They did not score. Now you wont within games without scoring. They face add goaltender that stood on his head as they like to say in hockey lingo. All right. To the wells fargo center. You still got to score. Three minutes left in the game. The flyers, oh, no, Jake Vorachek is stoned by martin jones. But in the overtime just over a minute left two on one and that is carlson against city mason. San jose beats the flyers one to nothing its a loss but the coach is happy with the effort. Couldnt get anything, you know torque fine the back of the net tonight. You look at it a couple of different ways i guess. But i think were again going to take the positives out of it and just make sure that we continue to try to clean up certain areas of our game. Always hate when you cant find a puck to the back of the net. Its clear the eagles will be without sam bradford and Ryan Matthews on sunday. Still not cleared with the nfl conduction protocol. Not a goo good day with chip key at at his press conference either. When asked about bradfords shoulder he said he doesnt know. When asked about jason peters he said he would not practice and peters did practice. Mark sanchez will start at quarterback and one thing that impresses chip is the amount of prep time sanchez puts in every week. He was in this building late every night. He works extremely hard on the game plan. He prepares himself like hes going to be the starter. We dont have to say we have to fill this whole chunk of offense out. Were allowed to run because of marks understanding of what were doing we can run everything that we have in our game plan that week. Fox 29 game day live at 10 00 starts our coverage of the eagles and buccaneers. Double header on fox after the eagles we have the packers and vikings at 4 25. Baseball the National League mvp award for this season was not a close one. Washington nationals bryce harper received all 31st place votes. 330 what he hit with 42 homes runs. Gold schmidt was second. Let me give you a little education right now. Quick notes on the rules of basketball. Each team plays with five players on the court each side. Somehow besides the fact that the sixers are a joke, it seems they cant count. Last night lets go to the wells fargo center. All right. Now theres five is there five guys okafor comes on late. Lets give it the count. 12, three, four, five, six hmm. My gosh. Maybe okafor wants to wint sixth man of the year award. Yeah. After a time out. They were confused. The whole season is confus confusing. I dont know. It just started. But its already over. Were done with this. Were over, too. Speaking of which were out. Well see you later. Have a great night.

He thinks that the underwear ad he was supposedly going to do for urban. Signed a contract saying he was going to do it but then he said he wasnt going to do it. They lost millions of dollars. What if derek jeter wears underwear in his big wiener, they will have a lot of people buying that underwear. I dont think his wiener is that big, dude. Baseball players have big weaners.
