It will start as snow, the atmosphere is plenty cold enough. But as we go through the morning hours, the warmer air will come in from the south, it will change the snow, the darker the blue, the heavier the snow. You can see that out here at 7 00 a. M. In the Lehigh Valley, in the meantime its raining, perhaps heavier rain farther south, you see the yellow areas from philadelphia to dover, cape may, by 9 30, its raining hard and its changed over from snow in allentown, over to ice. And that may be the Biggest Issue with this storm by the time its over. And thats why meteorologist Sheena Parveen is going to break that down hour by hour and place by place. And just minutes ago, penn dot gave an update on its crews brining the roads for the last in hours, salt truck also head out to try to keep the snow melting, and if it starts to pile up, plows are at the ready. The philadelphia Streets Department was loading up trucks in northeastern philadelphia. Officials tell us they hope to get roads salted before the snow comes down. Theyre saying the salt should take care of most of the snow so plowing wont be necessary. Clearly by the video we just showed you, the roads are going to be the biggest concern and with the roads, the ice will be the biggest concern after the snow if youre in the areas where the snow will be falling. Now were going to looking at the most dangerous times to be on the road tomorrow morning. 6 00 in the morning, the ice already beginning in parts of delaware, quickly trying to change over to rain. Now we look at 6 30, Chester County, parts of Newcastle County, Delaware County into the philadelphia area, some of our new jersey suburbs could be seeing ice by 6 30 in the morning making for very slippery roadways. Now were going to go from 6 30 to 8 00 in the morning. Partses of bucks county, Chester County as well still seeing the ice. And we could be seeing some icing in the philadelphia area as temperatures try to warm up. Closer to 8 30, 9 00 in the morning, the ice starts spreading up to the north. N in berks and Lehigh County temperatures at this time at the surface should still be cold enough to cause freezing on contact, and that is why a lot of the roads are going to have to be treated as we go through the event. And through the 9 00 and 10 00 hour, it will spread farther to the north. Upper bucks county, well keep an eye on as well as the Lehigh Valley, at this point, if youre in the areas south of the pink, you will have already transitioned to rain. In poconos, they may see some icing, 9 00 in the morning, a lot of people waking up and getting out the door at that time. So you want to watch here, well be showing you the temperatures in each of the neighborhoods in the morning, because that temperature is going to be very important as all this keeps falling. What do people know if they are going to be going out on the roads tomorrow morning . First of all, tune in here, were going to be on watching the whole thing. You want to make sure your temperatures are either a little bit above freezing at that point and that were not seeing anymore frozen precip on the roads, because this is extremely dangerous. So you really want to wait until the changeover occurs from ice to rain. But were not talking about a total washout for the whole weekend . No, mostly just tomorrow morning, the time frame from 10 00, 11 00, well see most of this drying. Its really the morning were most concerned about.

Cape may county, atlantic county, youre going to see temperatures already in the 40s about 6 00, 7 00 a. M. , meanwhile philly metro areas are going to see mid to upper 30s. And as those warmer temperatures climb from the south to the north and start to climb into the 40s, of course thats when you start to see the changeover, snow, wintry mix, some ice, a little bit of sleet and then widespread rain for entire area. The First Alert Weather Team is tracking the latest developments on this weekend blast.

Good afternoon. Reporter in his last press conference of the year, he side that russian hacking got in the way mr. Obama adds that he warned president Vladimir Putin directly.

Will retaliate at a time and place of its choosing. Our goal continues to be to send a clear message to russia or others not to do this to us. Because we can do stuff to you. Reporter president elect trump on twitter reminded voters that his election was a movement, not the result of russian hacking. Republicans on trumps Transition Team say this is just sour grapes on behalf of obama. We won fair and square, even if they did something to hack or do something to the election, we won anyway and it didnt really have an impact. Just looking at that makes you feel cold, and listen to that wind. Stream Winter Weather hit upstate new york, snow along with 50mileperhour winds created blizzard conditions. Our winter boost caused trucks to be filled with tons of rock salt. This truck can hold 100,000 pounds of the ice melt. They will hit each main road and side street in the township. Typically the police will call us up and tell us that the street getting slippery. So well immediately call the guys in and start to salt the roads. And if you see a salt truck or a snowplow, be sure to stay far behind, give them plenty of space. The main concern tomorrow morning is going to be ice. If youre heading outside and you have the friday night plans, were dry and were in the mid 20s. It feels about 10 degrees colder now when you factor in the wind, its still going to stay well below freezing, but at least were not feeling like Single Digits currently. But were very cold. The snow is back off to our west, and its heading in our direction. Later tonight, and were talking close to midnight, that is when this snow start to move in, not for everybody, but for parts of the area. For philadelphia, and parts of new jersey, mostly interior new jersey and northern delaware, thats where this first alert is going to be briefly, then longer for the pa suburbs, especially Lehigh Valley and berks county. At 11 00 p. M. Tonight, it will start through saturday with a very icy. If youre going to head out on the roads tomorrow, you want to wait until a little later. Were going through tonight. There you see the snow, by midnight, temperatures well below freezinging, anything falling from the sky would be snow by midnight. Could see some snow in pennsylvania suburbs, Lehigh Valley, maybe a little bit in new jersey too. By 5 00 in the morning, 5 350, thats when we see an even bigger area of moisture moving in. So snow falling for the poconos, pennsylvania suburbs, philadelphia area, even parts of new jersey. Then well see rain farther down to the south, cape may 42 degrees. Even much of delaware. 6 30, we start to get warming condition, so interior new jers jersey, a little bit farther north through the pennsylvania suburbs, snow still falling in the Lehigh Valley, 9 30, the icing moves farther north. Now were talking about the Lehigh Valley, even by 9 30, well see icy conditions, elsewhere farther south, well start to warm up a little bit. It quickly cuts off. So by midday tomorrow, we could already be looking at drying conditions. We keep on getting warmer throughout saturday night and sunday morning we get more rain moving in and this will last through sunday afternoon. So tomorrow morning is going to be the biggest concern out of the weekend. Here are some of the snow totals, around the philadelphia area, up to parts of mercer county, maybe around an inch. Pennsylvania suburbs, one to two inches, plus the ice that will also be a concern for a while. Lehigh valley including berks county could see two to four irmgs, and the poconos, three to six inches. Heres your entire weekend forecast, tomorrow morning, the first alert, icy conditions, wait until its over, were going to be tracking the temperatures very closely starting very early noerj, well be tracking them through the entire event so you can see when its above freezing so its safer to get out on the roads. But well warm up do 60 degrees in some areas, but then temperatures start to drop late in the day sunday, we get cold again on monday, back in the 30s.

And it took a swig of hot coffee to try to stay warm in olney today. This construction worker in windfield had no problem. Look at his breath there. You can see it in todays frosty temperatures, layering clearly key to staying warm outside. Temperatures are going to warm up bigtime before the weekend is over, but first we have to get through some snow, some ice and some rain. Combined, the extreme cold we had with snow moving in and then you get the probability of it sticking as soon as it starts, we have issued this first alert a couple of days ago for this event. And now we have expanded it to cover almost all of our area, except for extreme southern delaware and extreme south jersey. This is for 7 00 p. M. Tonight through saturday morning, for accumulating snow, an icy mix and some slippery roads and some icing conditions, especially 4 00 to 8 00 a. M. , the later you sleep, the less of this youre going to see. Changing over rain, by rain, it is dry and at night, its warming up. So you dont have the travel issues there other than potential fog tomorrow night. As we go through the evening, as you can see, temperatures are going up, but we dont see the snow generally until after mid, and it will be snowing early in the morning. A lot of you are going to wake up, wake up 6 00 a. M. Or so, its going to be snowing. But not at the jersey shore. You see temperatures already up into the 30s. Now we have the clouds already in the area. The snow area is growing and moving a little closer. And its still on target to be coming into the area, generally a little after midnight, starting off light but of course it would stick to untreated surfaces pretty quickly. As it gets darker blue, thats the heavier snow, by 6 00 a. M. , we have got a solid area all across the region. But warmer air is coming in, and as we showed you with the timetable, this is all going to be changing with the rain as we go through the morning hours, of course the biggest threat with this storm is the icing, and meteorologist Sheena Parveen has more on the timing of that. The biggest concern, the ice in the morning, starting off with snow, well eventually see a transition to ice. At 6 00 a. M. , were talking about the most dangerous time to be on the road. If you have to be on the road, if you want to be on the road, wait until this all is over and it warms up. Snow for most of the area, north and west by 6 00 a. M. , then we see the ice in pink. Rain farther to the south, but north Newcastle County, delaware, sections of Newcastle County, there is ice on the roads. 8 00 on saturday, now moving into berks county, chesters county, Montgomery County as well, parts of berks county as well with still some snow falling. Now were going into the 9 00, still berks county and now up into the poconos and even we could still see it in parts of upper bucks county. Again, you dont want to be on the roads when this ice is falling. Surface temperatures will be very important at the time this is all moving through, so we will be here tracking those temperatures for you neighborhood by neighborhood, because as they start to rise, conditions will start to improve, once they get above freezing. Until then, were looking at an icing event through much of the weekend. Coming up well take a closer look at the rest of your weekend.

Everybody feels like the teens when you factor in the wind. Feels like 14 in philadelphia, 16 wilmington, 18 degrees in mt. Holly. As we go through the evening, by 7 00 p. M. , actual temp 25, by 10 00 p. M. , 27, so were going to start to go up a little bit with our temperatures overnight. And thats because of a south wind. The feels like temperature at 10 00 will still be in the low 20s, but that southwest wind continues to tomorrow and that will start to warm up the atmosphere, so when we see snow falling, it will eventually freeze into an icy mix. Thats going to be an issue in the morning. Philadelphia, new jersey, northern delaware, pa suburbs and the Lehigh Valley. It will start around 11 00 p. M. , and go through tomorrow morning.

Rain farther to the south, but that pink area in between, that is the biggest area of concern, that is going to be ice, it gets even larger as you go farther south towards baltimore and d. C. So that could a pretty significant icing event. You notice temperatures start to warm, that all transitions to rain. Philadelphia area by 8 00 a. M. Could still be seeing some icing, close to 10 area, the icing area continues into the Lehigh Valley and the poconos. Most of the area changes over to rain.

In the afternoon, well see a pretty good dry stretch through the second half of your saturday, but by sunday morning, the rain comes back, rain comes back, near 60 degrees across your region tomorrow morning. Snow totals. One to two, pennsylvania suburbs, plus the changeover to ice, in the Lehigh Valley, two to high. And the poconos are going to love it, about three to six inches of snow.
