Ourselves on land. And there is a very well defined, very clear cut demarcation line between the green and the pink indicating the rain versus the icing. So, we have been hearing from our eyewitness Weather Watcher Networks up in this area of the poconos, that yes, there is sleet falling, there is icing taking place, and if this is where your travels take you, slow down. Thats all you can expect, that you are going to get slowed down, and if you can, wait it out. Because eventually this will get turn over to rain for you too. Meanwhile, besides from Winter Weather advisory that lasts until 11 00 a. M. , just a lot of rain to track. May be few little breaks along the way even through 7 00, 8 00, 9 00, 10 00 a. M. , will still be wet weather to track locally, then just oops gets out of here, basically by lunchtime, things are really starting to wrap up. So, you will still have some ponding on the roads, certainly some spray from vehicles, but it will at least have sees today continue falling from the sky. Look at the temperature change in the last 24 hours. It is colder in the poconos in allentown than it was this same time yesterday. But it is almost ten to 15 degrees warmer across southern new jersey, that tells that you transition is happening as we speak. Youre at 48 degrees in philly, 29 in mount pocono. And heck, youre in the 50s, in ac right now. So it is solo case dependent, but everyone can eventually bank on all of this wet weather, whether it is ice or rain, to be just straight up rain.

But at least there is a light at the end of this proverbial tunnel meisha, a but i know you are in the midst after lot going on right now.

I will say the good news is that the accidents that weve had, they are like i said getting cleared out of the way nice and quick. So this is a look at 95 south, girard, seeing it heat up fairly quickly, still traveling at posted speeds. But i would imagine that that will not last for too much longer.

Thats your call, right . And we put that same camera behind me. And you cant make out even a glimmer of the top half of the skyscrapers here. So, certainly, a lot of wet weather to deal with out there. The sheen off of the road surface, and it certainly is a very soggy beginning to the day here. We get it. So hard when that alarm goes off to give yourself any kind of extra time, right . But just sort of walk out the door knowing you are probably going to get slowed down by this, it may mean you have to get late for work.

Hearing from our Weather Watcher Network off that way telling us there is a the least eighth of an inch of ice on the ground, specifically came from keith in saylorsburg. Thank you for those reports. This is really just location dependent at this point. But it is primarily rain for most of us. And the temperatures tell that story.

Charleston, still in 73 degrees right now. Clearly the cold front has not crossed through yet. But that warmth is getting pushed our way. Thats why we expect to actually rebounds to the 60s today. Now, in terms of rain amount, it looks like it is basically done by lunchtime. But we are already seeing half inch plus on the gown, could easily add to that, especially, right now, this model trying to pinpoint that portions of the shore, shore towns, end up with upward of additional inch of rain. So, we are going to have to see how we do here regardless expect that the rain is going to slow you down. Morning drive specially. Afternoon, evening, though, really just left over with some clouds, maybe pasng shower, but certainly far less of a problem than what we are finding out there right now. So, we drew the short straw with the morning drive. Right . It is turning cooler in the meantime. We have new front that will be crossing through, another warmfront tries to lift in later on on wednesday, so that will likely bring us some showers once more. By thursday, though, High Pressure starting to rebuilds. And we ring in 2016, granted on chilly note, but sunny note. So it is looking better and better with time. Just cooler and cooler with time as well. Today, it is absolutely the headliner it comes to wet weather. Rest of the forecast actually looks pretty good. Just turning colder as the days progress.

And this is one of the rare days where i feel like everyone is affected by this, pocket here, pocket there, really everyone getting a taste of this. Absolutely for the most part mostly rain for most of you. But the further north you go, the better the chance becomes to see a little bit every icing out there. Certainly found. That will but at this point it is pretty much relegated to the mountain us terrain. Thats where it is cold enough. Suns not even up yet. It is warmfront though. So at least it is not snow. Exactly. Unless thats what you were craving. So sore. I not happening this time, though. But yes, if you were to maybe travel to up new england youll definitely find quite a bit of snow falling. Right now storm scan locally you can see how the pink is getting pushed out by the, you know, just sort of being shove the door because the warmer air moving n so, as a result, it is primarily rain. Bulk of which i feel like at this point we can say has now moved through.

But 20s in mount pocono, yes, it will be little dicey for travel when it comes to slick spots. Now around the region as a whole, it looks like this is totally gone. Right around lunchtime. Perhaps lingering shower for some of you. But the bulk of wet wet letter have long since retreated we head to the afternoon perhaps with lingering shower, but milder afternoon, we should hit about 62 degrees, at the height of the day here. So well above average for one thing. But also, certainly, the worse of what we are finding out there right now, meisha, a we will thankfully be gone.

Just take a picture here. Go off to the north, little chillier, john reporting 36 this hour, at perkasie, and again, rain there. Chilly granted, chilly rain, but hes got just rain, and the snowfall if we did have enough colder air, it would be impressive. Because you have so much rain coming down in the last few hours, now thankfully it isnt snow and ice so much for our area at this point. Because these temperatures continue to climb. As the warmer air against drawn north, allowing the temperatures again to just go on uphill climb. So thats all were going to find, even if you do still have icing, yes, finding few pockets of it, here and there, the poconos really is the southern most extent at this point of any kind of icing situation. So it is strictly rain for everyone else. And that does bode well for travel. Although it is still little bit of nightmare out there as you are trying to get out and about. Meisha after course the full update there. Talking future ice, even though again it is just this one little section, just a tent of an inch of ice all you need for there to be major issues. Please keep in mind that at this point in addition to you what already seen you could still see few hundreds of inch of ice come down before the change over to strictly rain.
