wednesday morning really sloppy. dry conditions after that for the parade so that's the good news. tonit uiet conditions. live on sky6 taking a look at the center city skyline. still have a lot of green out there, eagles green and now that eagles are super bowl champions, all eyes really on the weather forecast for thursday. it will be dry with a mixture of clouds and sunshine but it will be very chilly. at 9 o'clock when a lot of people are heading out there, 28 degrees. when the parade steps off 30 degrees. by the afternoon only in the low to mid 30's but you factor in those winds out of the northwest up to about 25 miles per hour. wind chills will be in the low 20's so if you're going town to down to the parade bundle up and dress in layers and even tonight it's pretty chilly out there. taking a look at temperatures currently philadelphia 31 degrees allentown 27, cape may 31. trenton 29 but we've had wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour today. there's easing off but still there's enough of a breeze to create wind chills generally in the 20's and teens. so, the winds diminish overnight. the clouds roll in. satellite and radar showing there's asystem that's bringing some snow near chicago. most of the moisture with this misses us to the north but it will spread clouds overnight and maybe a few snow showers in the far north and west suburbs of the lehigh valley and the poconos. overnight low 24 in philadelphia. it's a cold night. allentown 15. cape may 23. wilmington and trenton 21 degrees. tomorrow we start the day with clouds. sunshine is back by the afternoon and temps about ere they should be for this time of the year. 41 degrees by 3 o'clock. the normal high for this time of the year is 42. but then wednesday morning is when our next system pulls in and timing is horrible with this. looks like it will be arriving right in time for the wednesday morning commute. south jersey, southern delaware mainly rain. icing along i-95. accumulating snow to the northwest before the changeover to rain happens by the end of the day, so wednesday morning we're looking at about a coating to an inch of snow and sleet. the i-95 corridor intooer eighty four -- interior south jersey. one to 3-inches of snow and threatt before the changeover to rain. across northern lehigh valley and the poconos we're looking at three to 6 inches of snow before you get that mixing on wednesday so the wednesday morning commute is going to be a problem. we've issued an accuweather alert for that. so the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast clouds tomorrow morning sunshine by the afternoon, the high 42. wednesday morning that wintry mix could really complicate the morning commute with eventual changeover to rain 44. thursday for the parade, it's dry, partly sunny, brisk and chilly, 34. we bump it up to 38 degrees on friday as the clouds build in and it's going to be a pretty mild weekend. on saturday it's mostly cloudy, 47. sunday up to 51. the trade-off is another rainy sunday with periods of rain and then we begin to dry things out on monday with a high of 44 degrees. and i will have new details on the wednesday morning system coming up in "action news"
