sunshine, some cumulus clouds out there and there's still quite a bit of snow out there as well. here's what you can expect over the next six hours. lots of afternoon sunshine, so that's going to contribute to noticeable melting happening today along with temperatures that will be well above freezing. making their way slowly but surely into the low and mid 40's. wind chills, however, throughout the afternoon are going to be in the 30's and we'll see some clouds on the increase later this evening. let's recap some snowfall records from yesterday n philadelphia around 6.1-inches of snow fell, that beats the old record by about 2.1-inches, the old record set back in 1969. also a snowfall record in wilmington. record snow of 4.6-inches fell yesterday. that's a new dailyathat's 2-incd record that was also set back probably with the same storm back in 1969. 38 degrees right now in philadelphia. again, we're on our way up into the 40's. 39 in trenton. 37 in allentown. we're at 31 degrees in the

poconos. 38 in reading. it's 37 in wilmington. right around 40 degrees now in millville. also 40 degrees in atlantic city. heading into the overnight hours tonight, we could deal with the potential for black ice, refreezing. temperatures are going to drop very close to freezing or just slightly below that. you can see 30 degrees, that's the forecast low temp in philadelphia. 29 in allentown, 30 in reading, 29 in lancaster. some of these locations are areas that i'm concerned about as we move into tomorrow morning especially given the amount of melting that's going to be occurring throughout the day today and a lot of it really has already happened as well. the sunshine helping with that, too with high pressure building on in. here's a look at the storm system that caused us all of those problems yesterday. look at it spinning counterclockwise flow there causing issues up into portions of new england even still but that is a distant memory for us right here in the delaware valley. however, as we head into the overnight hours tonight, we

will have the risk for a couple of flurries to move on through, maybe even a snow shower. fast forwarding into the overnight hours i'm thinking anywhere between the time frame of 1:00 a.m. and maybe 6:00 a.m. tomorrow is when we could see a couple of those flurries or a brief snow shower. otherwise sun and clouds with snow showers up into the poconos as we head into the afternoon. now let's fast forward sunday night into monday. i'm going to take you through two different models here and show you the difference in their solutions. let's start with the american model. this brings a potential nor'easter right up the coast and then rain snow potential even right here at home. you can see that will white blue shade and pink shade. that's where we're going to be dealing with that risk for some wintry precipitation but the european model is a totally different story. this system actually moved down to our south, then it swings off shore. maybe we're just grazed by a little light rain. there's really two solutions we're keeping an eye on. i think with another model run

or two we'll really have a better idea of what's going to be happening as we head into sunday night and monday so stay tuned. your eyewitness weather seven-day forecast, 43 degrees as we head into friday. couple morning flurries and sun and clouds, some snow showers up in the poconos. a very quiet saturday in store. then we spring forward. sunday looks relatively quiet as well. again, ironing out the details for what could happen sunday night into monday. for now we're watching the coast on monday leaving the chance for a wintry mix maybe some rain or snow in the forecast so stay tuned. >> all right chelsea. >> don't look at me like that. [laughter] >> don't look at me like that. >> meghan markle is now a full-fledged member of the church of england. the fiancée of prince harry was reportedly baptized in a secret ceremony in london this week. markelle was brought up protestant. she you lovers her man. >> kate did the same thing,

totally agreeing but i think but i think another model run or two will have a better idea of what's happening. partly sunny on wednesday. no real big extremes when it comes to our temperatures so even though maybe some precipitation in the forecast we can still enjoy that. >> models are supposed to be attractive. i don't like that. >> do say. >> that's "eyewitness news" at noon. i'm jim donovan. >> and i'm rahel solomon. for chelsea and all of us here thanks for watching. >> ♪ >> "eyewitness news" continues at 5:00 and we're always online at cbsphilly.com. >> "the young and the restless" is coming up next. have a great day, everyone. >> ♪
