Weather Authority: Cold temperatures to return Thursday with potential for wintry mix, ice

PHILADELPHIA - Wednesday's weather will be spring-like with sunshine and above-average temperatures close to 70 degrees, but it won't stick around long. 

Looking ahead, Thursday will be cold again, with temperatures in the 30s.

Thursday night into Friday morning has the potential to bring ice as temperatures will drop.

Some parts of southern New Jersey and Delaware will see rain, but there is a potential for icy roads near Philadelphia and along I-95.

Areas north and west of the city are more likely to see ice. "Whatever it is, Friday morning's commute will be very tricky and in many places very slippery," FOX 29's Sue Serio said.

A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for Carbon, Monroe and Northampton Counties from Thursday evening until Friday afternoon. Those areas could see snow and sleet.
