off to the north and west most notably, i don't need the umbrella on the skydeck, but go ahead, jump over to storm scan3, we want to show you what's happening. what you will find here in the last three hour loop is that this precipitation has been very, very lackluster, actually the very tail end of a warmfront, that's lifting into our region, so mainly just stuck in the clouds. now you're finding little hint in the shades of pink, beginning to show up here on some of the north and west most suburbs, so most notably, through lehigh, northampton counties, and across the river into northern virginia, freeze rain advisory still in effect until at least 1:00 through the lehigh valley and as late as 4:00 p.m. depending how far not you travel. poconos see it last little later simply because temperatures remain at pretty cold level. take a look, flirting with freezing in allentown, 27 at mount pocono, miler by comparison here in fill points south and east, how much, you still have enough cold air that even though it is very light precipitation, it could freeze on contact, so that's the imme

. >> katie is out on the skydeck with today's forecast. katie, hopefully you have some better news for us? >> well ... depends on how you define good, right? >> you know, i feel like i have is a silver lining type weather to tell but here, you know, if you have got to deal with one thing, at least you have this, and that is you have to deal with bit of breeze, quite noticeable, i'll say, and also couple of showers, eventually working their way through. but the trade off is some serious warmth today. although it doesn't last forever. it never does, right? so, it keeps me in my job, right? we have ever changing conditions, in the weather, and right now, it is a cold front that's crossing through. at the moment, not bringing too much in the way of precipitation, eventually find showers still in the radar. not widespread wash out by any stretch, but it will be something that we track in the next couple of hours, look at some of these wind gusts. as i'm standing here on the skydeck, i can actually see my monitor just inside shaking, my hair fly

but at the moment, pat, it is awfully cold on the skydeck. i need your sweater. >> yes, exactly. i heeded your visible i knew the winds was coming, i knew it would be cold so i went with a sweater. i don't see a problem with it, fashion forward guys common. this is a look at 95, where the city of philadelphia usually a problem spot, right around 6:30 a.m. not so today. cruising toward downtown, no problems here, no problems on any of the major roadways, thumbs-up going through this area and the vine. looking beautiful this morning. you see people doing off the ben franklin, piling up little bit. but really not slowing you down very much once you jump on to the vine. no delays here. no delays, well, there aren't really much in the way of delays here. but, it is kind of slowing you down, been out here for awhile. columbus boulevard, water main repairs, they say they'll get out on that today. hopefully cleared up. talking about this for far too long, like broken records here. there are accidents to tell but in wilmington. because of the icy conditions, that katie mentioned, 95 north

katie fehlinger live on the cbs-3 skydeck with the winter warm up, katie. >> reporter: i like that, it will be inning up here. not talking about any kind of below torch type warming trends here. it is only going to be a little bit above average for the next couple of days, and then a little bit more than that by the time we hit the holiday weekends. so i'm just going to break the news to you now, no white christmas this year. i think many of you probably anticipated that or chances for white christmas in philadelphia, anyway, are typically pretty low, about 20% or under. but regardless, it is nice that we've got some pretty tranquil days looking ahead here. so we take you out first and for most, storm scan3, at the moment featuring more clouds than anything, some sun filtered through that, that's what you will find the rest of the afternoon. our temperatures have since cracked 40 degrees at philadelphia international airport, low four's around southern new jersey, southern delaware, obviously little colder as go to the outlying suburbs here surrounding the city. look ahead to the rest

let's get out to justin drabick live on the cbs-3 skydeck, with more on what you are headed out today. quite a change from yesterday for sure? >> big difference, up around 60 greeks today struggle to get back above freezing, at least the sunshine going for us it, won't help much. the colds he is day at least through christmas, as we set up the nice warming trend, headed into the official start of the winter season, but yesterday, at noontime, we were signature at 69 degrees, officially at the airport. today coming in at 31. soap, big drop in temperatures, and like i said, struggling to make it back up to freezing or maybe few degrees above that for the warmest spot. that's about it, upper 20's still in the lehigh valley, berks county, still machines in the poconos taking advantage, cranking out snow guns this afternoon, near 30 degrees now in palmyra new jersey, upper 20's in mt. holly. went chilled values better down to the mid teens earlier this morning, with warmer temperatures, and slight less, well, breeze, still have the windchills through the 20's, throughout the afternoon. and

morning, actually sleet g very briefly as i was out here for one of my morning weather hits on the skydeck, that's all long gone, take a look, ac. not bad over achieving at the a.c. airport, at the immediate shore, little bit cooler, but currently at 50 there, and 47 in philadelphia, and the afternoon is obviously still pretty young. so we've got few more hours, with that lower sun angle at this time of the year. to actually evening out few more degrees, again, at the immediate shore not as mild as your finding in atlantic city at the airport, specifically, little further inland, but here in the city, i think we've got shot to do harmless flirtation with the 50 degrees mark today. >> obviously had snow here and north earlier today. >> skies continue to clear out nicely. gradual warming trend, really is one of the overriding themes of the forecast. but coming up, we do have to worry about a little bit of wet weather that may put damper on your holiday weekend, and we will talk much more about timing on that, a little later on, guys. >> katie, thank you. >> well, fans will be dealing with so

meteorologist, justin drabick is out on the skydeck. most people probably at home right now enjoying time with their families. but if they want to go out a little later today looks like a great day to? >> if you got the new christmas coat, probably won't need it so much this week. temperatures will stay above average, little chilly, though, this morning, compared to yesterday. just because we have clouds out of here. so, whatever little heat we had yesterday, usually goes right back to the atmosphere, 10 degrees colder millville. same temperature, 24 hours ago in philadelphia. but the trends will be cooler morning, but nice afternoon, shaping up. here we are, almost 40 at the airport, in philadelphia, and up in allentown, but look at wilmington. you guys are below freezing at this hour. 29 degrees, low 30's in millville at this hour, near freezing in quakertown, willow grove, pottstown, checking in 33 degrees, and 29 in mt. holly, new jersey. the good thing is, looks like we're fog-free. it could be few patchy areas, locally dense fog,

now out to katie on the skydeck with today's forecast, you may need the umbrella little later today. apparently not now? >> i wouldn't say right now at least not over philadelphia. but there is a line of some showers, that is moving our way. and with time, you know, it is scattered in nature. yes, you may be finding yourself flicking your windshield wipers or if you are standing out waiting for bus or train, potentially needing the umbrella i would say the breeze is a lot more noticeable than any kind of wet weather that we will face here today. because this frontal boundery is so potent in that regard. also, very, very mild air, currently in place. so if you stepped outside already this morning, you probably already notice, just how mild it is. here, quick peak of storm scan3, in the the bulk of the precipitation off to the wells. lancaster county, chester county, even portions every new castle county i59 starting to see couple of raindrops right now. looking at the temperature change, okay, you know your actual air temperature, wouldn't be unheard of to see 20's, teens. this is the
