Through the streets of philadelphia tonight part of a 20 year tradition that raises money for local charities this year the running of the santas was on north 7th street in Northern Liberty the santas ran about three blocks then back inside as is the tradition. Melissa magee joining us now and for a few folks who kindly shared their destain with the snow with me on social media most people i talked to today loved this. Its nice its pretty its the first snowfall of the season and fell on a weekend. Perfect. If you didnt have to be out sit back and enjoy it and that is what we had outside and show you what is going on sky six live and hd as we are looking down the ben franklin parkway and you can see the flags are gently blowing in the wind we have gusty conditions through the overnight hours the snow is ending in the city just a few light flakes in south jersey sky six live and hd looking at Commodore Barry bridge on saturday night and clouds starting to clear out as we go throughout the rest of the overnight hours so just some light snow showers left over in some spots. As we look at the visibility across the region visibility right now is down to about five miles some improvement in reading up to 7 sevens and gives you an indication that conditions are improving and the back end of the snow is moving east west and up to 8 miles in dover and nine in beach haven the winds are a factor and that is going to have an impact on our temperatures its 31 currently in philadelphia, 27 in allentown, 17 in lancaster, 27 degrees in reading at this hour and 31 degrees in dover. Here is what is going on the big picture as we look at the snow we have seen and in the month of december today in philadelphia we picked up 3. 3 of snow. Its been four years in the city since weve seen an inch of snowfall in the month of december, the last time we had more than that was back in 2013 when we picked up 11 of snow at the airport. As we look at Satellite Six with action radar the snow is thinning out in the midatlantic and heading to new england and clouds are breaking overnight and clearing once again take place from west east direction so for the next 12 hours the snow will start to end i see spots however will be a concern as we go throughout the overnight hours 24 allentown the overnight low and 27 dover and trenton and 32 at the coast and cape may so future tracker six showing 1 00 in the morning and overnight house the snow moving to the north and east and temperatures just 19 in lancaster, 23 poconos 28 important or 34 in wild wood as you wake up tomorrow morning most locations will be below the freezing mark with the exception of wild wood so that is something to keep in mind and that is a bit of a concern what we need to watch out for tonight the secondary roads the cars the driveways and the sidewalks so snow slush, covered can be very slick and its a good idea right now to clean the snow off of the cars because anything that is wet will surely refreeze and freeze up overnight. Here is the set up for us as we get in the second half of our weekend on sunday nice mixture of sun and clouds high of 41 the sun tomorrow will be a bit deceiving we have a gusty westerly wind so wind chills tomorrow afternoon will be only in the 30s. Exclusive accuweather sevenday forecast showing you the High Temperature tomorrow 41 its breezy though the wind chill in the 30s monday sunshine to clouds a High Temperature of 42, Tuesday Morning snow showers likely especially north and west otherwise showers giving way to some sun a High Temperature 45 with hanukkah beginning at sun down wednesday an arctic blast moves in and wind chills midweek only in the teens and wendy even though the air temperature reads 30 and thursday partly sunny high of 35 friday light snow showers and high of 38 saturday sunshine and clouds, not bad, High Temperature of 41 and next weekend could be the beginning of a nice little warming trend headed our way but now we are stuck in the chill and its going to be cold tonight brian.
