You know what, it really is. I actually opened my jacket up today and just walk down the street that way. So you know its not bad out scott. It felt pretty good, lucy and iain. Considering its january and considering what we dealt with over the weekend as well as last week with those bonechilling wind chills. High temperatures today in the low to mid 40s evening but were dry and quiet. Still pretty comfortable once again considering we have 41 degrees right now in philadelphia. You factor in that wind, it feels like the mid theirs. I guess well take it as opposed to feels like temperatures below zero like what we were dealing with late last week. As we take a look at the temperatures across the area right now 40 in wilmington. Upper 30s as we move toward millville. 41 right now in atlantic city. And factor in that wind it doesnt feel as brutal. Were looking at feels like temperatures generally in the low to mid 30s across our area. Were dry but take a look at our next system off across parts of the upper midwest. Not a whole lot of moisture with this. Its an alberta clipper. It originates from canada and once again its a fast mover but it doesnt have a lot of moisture to work with but we are anticipateing its rifle toward wednesday Late Afternoon and evening continuing into early on thursday right now it looks like the timing but where you see this blue, the light blue, thats accumulateing snowfall and that does include sections of south jersey. The i95 corridor as well as points north and west. But it look like north and west well see higher amounts of snowfall expected. But for tonight we stay dry. We stay cold, and quiet. There could still be a few patchy slick spots of ice on the roadways so just watch out for that. Tomorrow similar to today. Its going to be mixture of sun and clouds across the area. With high temperatures topping out in the low 40s and then lets roll the clock ahead to wednesday. Thats the day that well be watching that clipper approach our area. But it looks like wednesday mornings commute its going to be dry and quiet. Into wednesday afternoon. It looks okay. But wednesday evening were going to be watching that moisture approach the area. Where you see the green, that is the rainfall south jersey, central southern sections of delaware. But right along i95, that will likely be that transition zone from the rain into the frozen precipitation. Heres wednesday night north and west. Youre looking at some of that rain changing over to snowfall toward Lehigh Valley and the poconos. And it could linger into early thursday morning. So wednesday night if youre stepping outdoors, its going to be kind of slick and icy and dicey and as well as thursday morning right now with the timing of that system. So how much snowfall is expected . Of course, lesser amounts once you move into extreme southern sections of south jersey as well as delaware delaware. A possible coating but mainly rainfall here. But where you see that light blue were talking a couple to maybe several inches of snowfall likely. One to 3inches on average out of this system as once again its not expected to have whole lot of moisture or pick up a whole lot of moisture either. So for tonight were below freezing partly cloudy, dry and cold. Tomorrow, partly cloudy, its dry, its quiet. Similar to today with high temperatures topping out in the low 40s. Thats actually a few degrees above the average for this time of year which is 40 degrees. So as we take look at the next several days, with the seven day forecast that wintry mix with the clipper once again it look like afternoon and evening into early thursday, thats the timing. Temperatures will be kind of borderline but keep in mine the ground is cold. The concrete is cold. So anything that falls on to those untreated roadways will likely ice up again. Its cloudy and chilly for thursday. Temperatures top out in the upper 30s. We keep mid 30s sunny and dry as we move toward friday the upcoming week and right now looks dry and seasonal. Temperatures upper 30 toss right around 4 degrees. Cloud cover returns next monday mid theirs. There might be some flurries next monday as well. But the next main system that were watching is going to happen wednesday late into early thursday morning. I think you might enjoy i just posted a picture on my Facebook Twitter beige from fair banks alaska 40 below zero back in the day. This is nothing.
