For a slight second i thought you didnt like me anymore. Hibernating. Ive got to say this. It reminded me of a meme that says i live somewhere where the wind hurts my face. Right here right now. Lets go live on sky 6. Look at the ice on the delaware river. In the accuweather 7day forecast, we have 41 for the high on tuesday. My goodness, thats going to feel unbelievable. Youre going to have people running around in shorts because of how cold its been here. Look at some of the size of the chunks of ice on the delaware river. A buddy of mine i dont know if youre familiar with the southern tip of cape may. Theres a half sunken ship made of cement of all things. The ice is so thick they were able to walk out to that ship yesterday. Its unbelievable to get that kind of ice on the delaware bay. Thats what theyre seeing right now because of this right here. Look how brutal these numbers are. Its 1 degree above zero in allentown. 2 in trenton wilmington is a new record low too. Your 1 degree below zero in millville. Believe it or not your record low is Something Like 7 or 8. Not quite record territory but you factor in the winds and it gets ugly. 8 degrees below zero in philadelphia. As weve been saying here for the last two weeks, if youre going to be outdoors, you need to bundle up. Make sure youre covering the extremities. 19 degrees is todays forecasted high. The normal is 14. This is coming off of yesterdays 16 and only 17 the day before that. 6 is where we started out this morning and thats actually the present temperature reading. Wind chills later this afternoon may actually get above zero for a change. We didnt manage that at all yesterday but if were lucky by late morning, lets say 1 below in allentown, 3 above in philadelphia and during the course of the day the wind should start to relax a little bit. That means its not going to be nearly as harsh as yesterday. By 3 00 it will feel like 10 degrees above for philadelphia, dover wilmington and millville. 8 in allentown and 5 in the poconos. As we get into the evening hours tonight, the numbers are pretty much camping out in the single digingth than this because the winds begin to calm and the temperatures aloft will start warming. You can see the process here this bitter cold is starting to retreat up into canada where it belongs and were seeing 40s and 50s down to the southwest. All of these locations were down into the 20s and 30s yesterday. What were seeing is the milder air aloft starting to race across the lower 48 squeezing some moisture here. So all of this pushes east. So well look at future tracker 6, well skip over today since today is a quiet day. By 11 00 tomorrow morning were looking at mainly cloudy conditions temperatures are in the 20s and here comes this little band of moisture. By 3 00 it is snowing to the west and maybe a wintry mix of snow freezing rain over thei95 corridor just in time for the evening commute. Once that passes the next couple of days after that actually look okay and much, much milder with high temperatures in the upper 30s to mid 40s. So what you can expect for tomorrow mainly cloudy day from 2 00 to 7 00 in the afternoon is when all of this precipitation begins. Its all snow for the Lehigh Valley actually north of the pennsylvania turnpike. Anyone north of there its probably all snow. South of that mark is mainly sleet with snow mixed in possibly freezing rain. There could be a coating, perhaps a little bit more thats going to create slippery roads. The ground continues to be frozen. So if you get freezing rain everything is going to stick and glaze over so be very careful tomorrow afternoon. Sun few clouds today, less wind 19 hit that right around 3 00, oon. A lot of sun just bitter cold temperatures as we go hour by hour.
