It is a chilly rain, that might be falling up towards pocono region but just not cold enough yet but it is instant last check we were at 50, now 48, temperatures are falling, and they will continue to do so. Notice where core of the cold is back through columbus that is cold air coming to join forces with that same storm system. We have cold air coming in for two separate reasons because storm is generating its own and air mass coming into meet up with it. That does mean as the storm starts to turn over to that snow travel will get more and more downhill. The rails, it is mainly wet. That might end up being your best option, vittoria will talk about this. Poor visibility, slick travel as we see rain change over to snow and we can expect delays to backup at the airport as well.

Thanks, katie, good morning everyone. As of right now traffic is moving i would a fairly well, traveling on i95, schuylkill, our majors, Speed Sensors high up in the 50s but as katie has been talking about and we will continue to talk about things will definitely change. What we are looking at here is 202 and route one south, if you are traveling in this intersection you will notice we have an accident, ambulance on the scene as well as police. So righthand lane is being compromised as a result of this incident. If this is where you are headed you want to be mindful to a a avoid it or give yourself more time. As we look at this shot though look at the glare we are seeing on the roadway itself is. That is what we are seeing on our cameras on our majors. Owe we are seeing those slick spots out there. Even ben franklin bridge youll notice lights picking up reflection on the roadway. It is slick out there. Any sort of slickness or wetness you have on the road, it is going to sit you back and never underestimate it because as little as this much can cause incident. No volume problems just yet we are still waiting on the rush. If you are traveling again on our majors and not only pennsylvania and in delaware and new jersey things are moving well, no delays at the airport and a mass transit looks great still so far. Still, so far. Thank you. It is falling as light rain but in just a few hours that will all change to snow. Timing just could not be worth as thousands of drivers are expect to hit the area roads today.

Fortunately for them and for us we have had two warm days and rain is supposed to come before less snow. Road is still quite warm. We dont expect to see heavy accumulation on the road surfaces. You will see more on the lawns. Reporter so again, penndot is asking folks to use common sense out and about on the roads, in addition to adjusting travel times and waiting out this storm they are also asking for folks to decrease their speed and increase the travel distance between themselves and other vehicles, especially those penndot trucks that want to leave six car lengths between you and the plow.

At that time i gave myself, another mental check, and the question i asked myself was i have to, if i dont he will kill will me if he gets to me.

Spirit Airlines Plane headed from tampa to a Atlantic City last night was divert todd Fort Lauderdale after being struck by lightening. Plane landed safely and spirit put passengers on a new plane that arrived in Atlantic City around midnight. 5 13. Heres traffic and more on your weather, katie. We are beginning to see change overtake place from rain through snow and back through virginias now that cold air has started to wrap in and move with this storm system and also it is a storm intensifying with time. Eventually we will see change over too. Right now it is just rain, across our area, but temperatures will continue their decline and as they did we will start to see more of this take place. See what happens on the tail even of the loop through appalachians, rain turns over to mix of pink and purples. We have sleet and or heavy wet snow falling in those location that is will roll our way too as the cold air wraps in. Let me walk you through future weather, it is a guide. That is important to layout first but it is a very good guide of how it will all shake out with the timing. Mainly the rain will overtake the region here, through seven or 8 00 a. M. Or so and then that is what we will see the really cold air wrap n boom, almost like a switch getting flip. We will see that change overtake place where it is not just rain but heavy, wet snow now falling through northwestern half of the area. We will have winter storm warnings in effect here. Dark shades of purple indicating where we will have most thumping snow and best opportunity to pick up most decent accumulation. Mainly rain further south and east you will travel but we have strong winds. By the evening we are seeing that split take shape here so depending where rain snow line sets up anywhere that you have got snow falling that is where we will find it for rest of the event. Tonight storm is long gone. By midnight we should be completely done with this. But snowfall amounts heres our exclusive map we are expecting nothing more than a coat to go a modest inch or two, interior South Central new jersey but we will rapidly increase those totals just a couple counties off to the north and west here. Philadelphia generally slushy 2 inches or so, but you do have Winter Weather advisories posted there and winter storm warnings just heading in to, even western chester up to upper bucks county and points northwest. Moving forward in the forecast we are flirting with 40, but thirst and friday it is quiet out there weekend is also quiet and having a chance to moderate up on the thermometer. We just the good to get through today. We will continue our team three weather coverage with meteorologist Carol Erickson live with the mobile weather lab tracking weather conditions in every neighborhood in which we find her. It is a very busy morning at philly aint national, carol. It certainly is, lets look outside. This is a rarely seen look this hour of the morning but you can see how busy it is. Look at all of the people already stacking up, this is at u. S. Airway, obviously a big hub here at Philadelphia International airport. At this point i dont believe there are flight delays, however, that is likely to be the case as we move through the day, not just because of weather conditions here but weather conditions in other parts up and down the eastern United States especially just slightly in land. So boston that sort of thing. You may be finding these up creasing flight delays later on today but at this point as you can see not that bad out here. The roads are slightly wet, not an issue. Let me she you a graphic on safe travel. This spells it out. This lets you know when it is safe to travel before 7 00 oclock i dont think you have a problem really doing anything. Trains, planes, automobiles, maybe even hitchhiking you should be fine. After 8 00 p. M. We are going to be finding the snow ending but in between that time period that is when we are likely to be finding the most dangerous time of all of this, coming up, just because of the snow that will be increasing and starting to spread to the east. So not gigantic amount of snow but make gigantic flakes. Something to machine torahs a very messy, very busy travel day out here at international airport. Im just driving by, a lot of traffic out here at the airport, vittoria. People are starting to head out of town. Absolutely, you know what, people are starting to head out, if you are traveling on our majors, specifically if you are traveling on i95 around girard avenue. That is where we will start to see that pocket of rush hour delays form. Even though if you are traveling, on the roosevelt boulevard things are wide opened and cleared. We are definitely going to see some volume pick up because we have to travel on i95 primarily to get to the Philadelphia International airport but traveling boulevard not seeing too much of the delay just yet. Moving to the schuylkill express waste reason why this shot is so good because one we are not seeing too much volume but another reason why it is really pick up the reflection on the roadway that it is slick out there and do not underestimate a road that looks like this because with that slickness incidents do happen.

Same thing for your traveling on i95, this area right around woodhaven, travel in bucks county, and even making your way through the north east it is not awful, however, if you are traveling on i95 southbound, you could just field a touch of traffic as you approach the area of girard avenue.
