6:47 am
tuesday. >> in this business we have a snowstorm. we're busy. >> you were in on your day off. >> we were both working together and tracking the snow. forecast yesterday verified very nicely. now we're looking at the next potential. before we get to that, cold conditions. take a look at the jersey shore temperatures right now. we're at 20 cape may courthouse and 23 in ocean city. go inland there are the teens. 16 for may's land. i know it's march. i know we thought we lucked out after the warmest february on record. we're paying it for now with these cold conditions. further inland to our new jersey neighborhoods. clayton you're at 19 right now. 19s and 20s on the board. lower values in princeton at 11 degrees. 15 for hopewell township. here's the weekend forecast for our saturday and sunday. doesn't matter where you go across our region it's going to be cold.
6:48 am
60 or 32 rather for the temperature on your saturday in philadelphia. 27 only for a high in lehigh valley. 34 in delaware. on our sunday 36 for philly. 29 for the lehigh valley. jersey you're at 34. along the shore 36 for the forecast high temperature. both days we look at mix of sun and clouds. mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. most days are dry as well. but that doesn't last too much longer. let's look at the hour by hour forecast as we go into your monday because we're going to be tracking two set ups. storm system that will move in from the west. this is going help pump in colder conditions. we're already going to be cold. it will consistently push that cool air in. then a coastal low that forms down to our south. this kind of system can grab a lot of ocean moisture and pull that in from what we call a nor'easter. we start tracking this. these two won't merge perfectly but have a perfect storm.
6:49 am
by 8:00 a.m. on tuesday we see all this moisture dragging in. what will happen it looks like the freezing line will cut close to our region. meaning some of us could see heavy rain and thunderstorms potential. others of us could see heavy snow potential. this continues as we push this forward and tracks off to cut off the coast rather as we go into tuesday night into wednesday. this may be the biggest snowstorm that we see this season. that's the potential. a little early to talk totals got to track where the system sets but that's something we're closely watching. every show will have updates. here's the ten day forecast starting the first seven days. goes to mid-30s tomorrow. there's the cold. 37 monday and only 34 tuesday. this is the day that we're talking about. have to watch closely the center of that storm closer to the coast. heavier snow north and west of philadelphia.
