Back to your fox 29 Weather Authority now. Absolutely phenomenal off the hook day today, and then comes wednesday. Yeah. Chief meteorologist Scott Williams, what are you tracking . Were tracking spring to winter in a matter of hours. In fact in less than 48 hours were looking at rain changing over to some heavy wet snow in particular north and west of the philadelphia area. Still a few factors to consider. Well get into that in just a few moments, but winter storm watches posted along i95 north and west. This is where the main impacts will be. South jersey will still see some rain change to go wet snow but mainly rain especially once you move down the shore. But this afternoon, 72 degrees. That was the record high. Beating the old record by 1 degree. Temperatures still very mild for this time of year. 67 in wilmington. 66 in trenton. Low 60s right now in millville and atlantic city. So 56 degrees was the low. The afternoon high we made it up to 72 degrees. And by tonight, still pretty comfortable. So overnight lows in the 50s. Tomorrow cooler than today. But still pretty comfortable temperatures in the low to mid 50s and look at the clock on wednesday. Temperatures will be stuck in the mid theirs. That rain will be changing over to wet snow across the area. Really throughout the day. So factors to consider. Warm roads temperatures today, of course, in the 70s so that snow will have hard time sticking on the roads. Were looking at mainly mainly accumulatioaccumulations on they surfaces. Car tops and elevated features. Banding that could bring some cold air down banding basic physical we have a burst of some heavy snow that will mean that snow will like al accumulate a little more. The track, still a little uncertain as well but we are going to watch a storm system develop for the middle of the week. Tuesday night looking good. If you have travel plans throughout the entire day tomorrow no problems. Early, early on wednesday, before, say, seven, 8 00 oclock looking pretty good but then that rain begins. Changing over to wet snow. Especially as we move toward the lunch time frame and beyond right around philadelphia. Down the shore well take some time to change over to that snow probably until after the sun sets. But the sunsets pretty early before 5 00 oclock so were looking at that rain changing over to wet snow pretty much area wide but the system will be progressive moving out of here by 10 00 oclock and midnight and on thanksgiving day drier but staying chilly across the area. So the early call, this once again could change but were looking at mainly rain down the shore. Interior parts of south jersey, say, around the medford area, moving toward willingboro, deptford, one to 2inches on the grassy surfaces. Philadelphia were looking at about two to four on the grassy surfaces. North and west were looking at anywhere from four to 6inches from doylestown just to north of norristown and west chester and then the Lehigh Valley and the poconos. We could see six or more inches of snowfall. So as you see lehigh and poconos, change owing that wet snow between 9 00 and noon. Staying snow through the balance of the day before tapering off in the early evening for the philadelphia metro area, starting as rain staying rain until about the afternoon to early evening time frame but once again that rain will be changing over to wet snow. 39 thats it for the high on wednesday. Low 40s for thanksgiving and staying chilly for friday shoppers. And then temperatures moderate a bit as we move into the upcoming weekend but stay tuned. New information, new model runs tonight at 10 00 if we need to update those totals. Scott, thank you. Howard eskin. Little football. And that chip kelly, this is interesting.
