and it is going to continue to feed in to the rest of the area and that's why temperatures are not going to be rising very much during the afternoon. 33 degrees atlantic city international, warm spot. and windchills at best 23 at the shore. but down to 11 in allentown. 3 below in mount pocono. look how much colder than 24 hours ago. 24 degrees colder. it is 11 degrees colder in allentown and reading. 9 below yesterday in pottstown. 5 below in philadelphia. you can see the impact has been felt more to the north than elsewhere. now, we have rain to the south. we have clouds to the south right now this is moving straight to the east and not up the coast. and as you can see, some of these clouds the thicker clouds are still staying well off shore. so the storm that develops out there is mainly going to be far away. but just on the edge of that it

is possible that some precipitation could come up. only one or two computer models are suggesting that they do have clouds coming in tonight. and that will prevent the temperature from dropping as low as it would be if the skies were clear. by tomorrow morning, maybe a little bit of a mix down in southern delaware and then up into the jersey shore. as we go into the afternoon, could be a mix of some snow with even some sleet or rain during the afternoon hours. the atmosphere kind of border line as you head toward the shore. and just a question of how far north and west any of it would come and it is not likely to get up to philadelphia and certainly not going to happen farther to the north and west. as you go through the day today, lots of sunshine in most places more clouds at the shore, of course. cold and windy, highs in the low 30s. not going to feel like that. windchills more like the teens. tonight, very cold with less wind more clouds 20 for low in

philadelphia, 13 north and west. and then with the seven-day forecast there is that shore wintry mix on wednesday and then we dry out throughout the area and by friday we're up near 40. over the weekend, well into the 40s and maybe even up to 50 by sunday. >> all right, thank you, glenn. many heart patients are prescribed aspirin, but do all of those patients really need to take the medicine? a new study can change people's habits. that's ahead. measles outbreak tied to disney parks is widening. there are more cases to tell you about. we'll have those updated numbers straight ahead.

colleagues come and donate? >> we're always looking for that opportunity, not only for donations, but for people to sponsor blood drives organizations. the best way is 1-800-red cross. they can get that information. or fill it out online and put in their inquiry and we'll follow up with them very quickly. >> we saw the story that i read before you came on about ebola in west africa. there is need i'm sure everywhere, and certainly this time of the year it is very much a need. >> it truly is. it is important. it is constantly needed. there is no substitution for blood. it is only by donor to donor. that's why we reach out to it. the hospital patients rely on the hospitals to have the blood on the shelves. hospitals rely on the red cross to provide that blood. and the red cross, you know depends on the donors to be there for us. >> how is the city? how does philadelphia do in terms of donations of blood? >> you know, they do outstanding. we collect about a thousand units a day in this region

outstanding. it keeps up with the supply. we need 15,000. that's a piece of it nationally. we're doing our part but the need will always be constant and will always be there because, you know, every 56 days or 8 weeks is when somebody can donate. we're in need of blood and new blood. >> guy triano from the local chapter, we appreciate it very much. thank you. appreciate that. national blood donor month is the entire month of january. we put all of our -- all of this in full in our nbc 10 mobile app and on nbc10.com. you can find a blood drive in your area. now, your nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. >> yesterday was rainy and cold. but there wasn't much wind. a whole different story today. we have got wind across the entire area. those are cold winds that are coming in. we do have a chance of some snow or wintry mix at the shore or close to the shore during the

day tomorrow. but after that a bit milder pattern as we head toward the weekend. different look than what we saw yesterday, isn't it? a lot of sunshine right now. 30 degrees, but the windchill was 20. and the windchill may actually go down during the afternoon. wind is out of the north, throughout the area and we're going to be seeing the increase during the afternoon. these are the sustained winds, 14 to 16 miles an hour for the most part. and, of course we have gusts that are a little stronger than that. and the temperature's only in the 20s across much of the area. coatesville, pottstown, quakertown doylestown mid-20s while it is 30 degrees in philadelphia. 28 in washington township. 28 in mount holly. 28 in trenton. and as we head into new jersey it is 30 in wrights town 32 in toms river. tomorrow with the potential snow or wintry mix at the shore,

the temperature may be critical and these are the kind of readings we'll be able to show you at cape may airport, 32 degrees. 32 in north wildwood. 32 at cape may point. and as we head into the northern portion of cape may county ocean view 34. sea aisle city 33. you can see the effect of the sea breeze. summers point, 32. north field, 32. and atlantic city marina 34. windchills are in the teens to the north and west. but low 20s to the south. and as we head through the rest of the afternoon you can see the windchills actually go down. so by dinner time will feel colder than it is right now. and by midnight look at that windchill feels like temperatures down to 6 in allentown. 7 when you get up in the morning. so we have got some pretty cold weather here. however, it is not going to feel as cold tomorrow. look at that tomorrow feeling

like the mid to upper 20s. now, the moisture well, we have clouds to the south now. the rain pretty far to the south. but there is going to be icing in southern virginia. areas of snow. the main action is going to be well off shore. so we're just on the edge of this particular storm and that's why it may just graze southern delaware and the jersey shore. this is a bit of a wintry mix tomorrow morning, most likely again, closer you are to the coast, perhaps a little bit of snow mixed in as well. temperatures will be kind of borderline, precipitation at the moment looks like it would be light. so not anticipating serious problems but we'll have to keep an eye on this as we go through the day today and tonight. we have a morning snow chance possibly mixed with sleet and rain especially during the middle of the day. the warmest portion of the day, sussex county delaware cape

may and atlantic counties in new jersey are the most threatened by this particular weather. now, as we go through the day today, a lot of sunshine temperatures only around the freezing point. and with the wind, it is going to feel much much lower than that. 20 for low in philadelphia. 13 north and west. the clouds preventing you from getting even colder than that. and the wind diminishing as we go through the night. there is that shore wintry mix during the day tomorrow. high of about 35 in philadelphia. and then gets a little bit milder as we head toward friday. nothing too big. but by the weekend we're in the 40s and maybe even close to 50 degrees by sunday. we'll be right back.
