time. now, a lot of us are going to be having a rainy afternoon rush. some will see some of that rain change to snow during the evening hours. we're all going to be seeing uniformly late in the week. we've got cloudy skies. we've got some rain now in the philadelphia area. 58 degrees. very light southerly wind. that's keeping a little bit warmer. look at this variation. 32 and snowing in mt. pocono. snowing hard. pottstown, 47 and raining. atlantic city 52 and just cloudy. all at the very same time. now, let's get a little closer look. it's 3 degrees in mt. pocono. 40 in allentown. 43 in quakertown. 48 in blue bell. yet 58 at the airport in south

philly. 58 in washington township. 48 in trenton. and toward the shore, it's colder with the wind coming in off that ocean but the breeze in louisville, 52. what a contrast. here's the reason we've got those southerly winds to the south. and we've got these northeasterly winds to the north. a front right there. and that front is coming down and it's going to be bringing the colder air with it and changing some of the rain to snow. at least in parts of the area. the back edge of the storm is not that far away so it's not going to last all night. but some of the rain will change to snow. here's the rain moving in to philadelphia and montgomery county, bucks county. chester county had some a little while ago. reading and allentown reporting rain but that colder air will start to come in especially as we get closer to sunset. here's the futurecast showing snow in the poconos now.

dark color indicating a heavier snow. the wind flow and the rain. some fairly heavy rain at times. as we go into the early evening hours. and, of course the temperature dropping as the wind turns into the north. and so by 8:00 down into the 30s and a good bit of pennsylvania and even in philadelphia area we're getting down close to that 30 -- upper 30s mark later on during the evening. then everybody's getting down closer to the freezing mark or even below by day break. setting up for a chilly day tomorrow. so, the rainy evening could change to snow especially in the lehigh valley berks county some. high elevations north of the pennsylvania turnpike. 34 for the low in philadelphia. the only accumulation i expect is in the poconos, perhaps a few inches before it's all over especially on the grassy

surfaces. sunny and cool tomorrow. no snow around then. breezy, kind of chilly this time of year. average high for this time of the year is 58. we're going to be above that on thursday. and a dry day, too. friday is the warmest day. some places should hit 70 but it's also the wettest day. and then we start to dry out over the weekend. temperatures are a little bit lower, but i think we'll settle for that after what we've got now. and here's the chance of some showers for the phillies home opener next week. it will not be bitter cold. we've seen some really cold weather beginning of baseball. >> that's nothing really. >> not too bad. >> thank you, glenn. well philadelphia's broad of an initiative aimed at helping young people reach their potential. it's called my brother's keeper. the program encourages communities to take part in a cradle to college to career

today an argument that turned physical on mass transit. >> now the hunt is on. nbc10's sidly ni long is live in center city, philadelphia. >> you got a firsthand look at surveillance video expected to play a critical role in the search, right? >> reporter: it will. that's because the video is crystal clear. it is very good. septa police tell me this is not a case of a single rider being attacked by a mob of teenagers. that these teens were actually behaving before this victim stepped foot on the train. and this all may have sparked when he stepped foot on one of the teenagers. the video is difficult to watch as a 60-year-old man being

struck on his right cheek, knocked off his feet on the center city 16th street septa platform. >> our victim was knocked unconscious, suffered a broken jaw, got stitches to his face and left laying there on the platform by this group of kids. >> reporter: police say it happened 3:15 monday afternoon. in is the teen police say threw that punch after a 20-minute verbal altercation that took place on the train before the group arrived in center city. >> we have a grown adult engages in an argument with kids who were not a problem before he got on the train. so, there are a lot of questions that have to be answered here. >> reporter: police say watch closely as several of the teen girls in the group try to calm the verbal argument. one of them seated and in a black coat can be seen taking cell phone video of the argument. police desperately want her to come forward about what led to this violent assault. police aren't saying where the group boarded septa in order to visit high schools and gain leads. >> the puncher has some serious

questions to answer. the other kids have no jeopardy of being arrested for anything. they saw something that occurred. they can probably provide very good information. and they can certainly provide great video and audio of what occurred on that train. >> reporter: now, the victim tonight, we can tell you, does remain hospitalized. police have not yet had the opportunity to speak with him. septa police tell me all of their officers are armed with pictures of these young people. they are visiting schools in the city of philadelphia. they're also checking social media. obviously, they want anyone who knows anything about the incident 3:15 yesterday that landed them on the platform at 15th here in center city to please come forward. live in center city, cydney long, "nbc10 news." >> thanks. now to "nbc10 news" at 5:00. >> here's jacqueline london. >> all new tonight on "nbc10 news" at 5:00 -- we're live on the scene of three different breaking news stories still unfolding. one of them is the mystery in lower moreland township.
