the poconos. same case down the shore. just brutal combined with these temperatures and your wind chill temperature right now in the teens at most of our reporting z already subzero on mount pocono. a wind gust right now, they're still kicking, not as intense as early in the afternoon but wind gusts still around 30 miles per hour and that will be the trend overnight tonight. feels-like temperatures

15 below in philadelphia and the surrounding counties and down the shore we could feel wind chill temperatures by tomorrow down to about 10 below zero. our overnight low going to be cold enough. 5 degrees northwesterly winds at around 10 to 20 miles per hour as i mentioned at the top of the show, that is near record cold for us. for tomorrow, 19 degrees, sunny, breezy and frigid. winds not going to be as strong tomorrow afternoon but we'll still have a bit of a breeze. storm scan3 quieting down after we had some of those snow squalls today but it's going to become active next week. monday, monday night and tuesday, this is wait looks like so far. i'll give you a brief preview. late show snow arrives on monday midday turning into a wintry mix. the wintry mix becomes all rain. one particular model but they're all kind of starting to come into agreement with that snow breaking out by midday and we'll see that transition over to a wintry mix and then eventually over to rain as we head into the evening and late evening. then overnight monday and then as we head into tuesday pockets of very heavy rainfall following that snowfall. we could see rainfall amounts potentially over an inch maybe even closer to 2-inches through the event on tuesday, so just a mess but hey, our temperatures turn around. up to 50 degrees on tuesday after our high of 19 degrees tomorrow for your valentine's day. things start to eventually quiet down but still a bit of a rollercoaster ride into the end of the week. spotty showers on wednesday, 43 degrees. quiet on thursday, chilly 36. but then
