5:16 am
doing. we've got a cold front that is poised to enter our area, coming through quickly, dry, in precipitation, maybe just a few cloud with it. probably by early afternoon to daze and bringing wind of change. if you think it is cold now tomorrow morning if you are up early, we will be even colder. 30 degrees in philadelphia 26 allentown. twenty-four reading. wilmington has 28 degrees. thirty-two wildwood. factor in the wind speeds of 14 miles an hour sustain in the city and get a wind chill of 20. so 30 feels like 20 here. we have wind chill in the teens and allentown. feels like 25 in wildwood. these wind gusts will pick up especially after sunrise. 34 degrees, 34 miles an hour, that is wind speed right the now. 22 miles an hour in philadelphia ultimate doppler no precipitation now. this is not coastal storm we will be watching on sunday. that one hasn't even formed yet. there is snow up to the north
5:17 am
