39 in new york city and 28 in binghamton so that is why this will not be an all snow event. Here are the times that it will begin where you live. From millville wildwood, south of wilmington, between about 6 oclock and 8 oclock this evening, the greater philadelphia and the northwestern suburbs interior southern new jersey 8 oclock to 10 oclock tonight. So if youre heading out on the town the snow will begin before you head home and between trenton and allentown that vicinity around 10 00 to midnight. Those are the start times but what type of precipitation will you see when it begins . Depends on the location. Meteorologist cecily tynan has that part of the story. Thats exactly right add today. As the moisture moves in philadelphia areas north and west it begins as snow. For southern jersey and delaware this is a rain event. Could have a few wet snowflakes mixed in. The location is really key as to what youll get and as weve been saying all weekend long the higher snow amounts will be farther up to the north. So the far northwestern suburbs including easton allentown, quakertown, pottstown downing ton reading were looking at it beginning as snow and staying as snow as an extended period of time. Then there will be some mixed precipitation, some sleet some freezing rain in that. Minimal rain. Youll probably see a bitter of a changeover to rain during the day tomorrow but by then most of the moisture will be out of here. The i95 corridor, this includes philadelphia, trenton, mount holly media salem and wilmington were looking at a brief snow event tonight into about 2 oclock in the morning by about 4 oclock, this is all rain and were looking at about a half inch to an inch of rain so that rain will be washing away a lot of the snow. And as i said, south jersey and delaware a few snowflakes at the onset but generally this is a soaking rain. Could get more than an inch of rain. I think the most of the problems tomorrow as far as traveling will be the possibility of freezing rain. We found out last sunday just how dangerous freezing rain will be and were looking at the potential for up to a quarter inch of icing from easton quakertown, downingtown reading and lancaster tomorrow morning between about 6 oclock and 8 oclock in the morning. Ill talk the specifics of totals. Adam, will too coming up in the full accuweather forecast. Shirleen. Thank you cecily.

Reporter last night penndot crews brined the major interstates in delaware and philadelphia counties. Today they put brine down in montgomery bucks and Chester County. Have our state and contractor trucks positioned late tonight with loaded with salt so when the snow enters the region well begin salting and well continue salting through the morning as long as the snow continues to fall.

Going to be nice to look forward to that. Yes. Some time before were going to see those flowers again outdoors. Weve got some snow coming our way tonight and tomorrow. Yes, we do. Lets deal with the now i guess. Lets go over to meteorologist adam joseph if we must. You must. You cant stop the beast coming in from the south and west. You can see the amount of moisture from pittsburgh to charlotte. Noreaster moving to the north and east but this go round even though its the end of january we have a lack of cold air to kind of interject this storm across much of our area. So as we take a look at the Winter Weather advisories, earlier the National Weather service had dover and Cape May County within that advisory. They have taken them out which is more in line with our thinking which is that far south thats not going to be that much snow. Starts as rain, ends as rain. For the rest of our region with those Winter Weather advisories in place well see some snow changing to sleet freezing rain and eventually the majority of us will seaplane old cold rain. Right now 37 in trenton, 38 in philadelphia, 37 millville, 37 dover so air temperatures are above freezing areawide and as we look at satellite and radar again you can see all of that moisture to the south and the majority of this storm at this point as you can see is in the form of liquid, not frozen precipitation. As we look at future tracker with the time, around 11 oclock that snow will be as north as reading and just south of the Lehigh Valley. Awful Lancaster CountyChester County on the verge of wilmington but to the south you can see the rain already pushing up from the coastline at 11 oclock approaching philadelphia, then bust over that i95 corridor around 2 oclock in the morning and by 4 00 a. M. , it is a heavy rain, most of the area from reading to central parts of bucks county south, Lehigh ValleyStill Holding onto some wet snow mixing at times with ice and sleet and then by 8 oclock in the morning the heaviest precipitation is already gone and we just have some leftovers to deal with tomorrow afternoon in the form light rain showers and could end as a quick period of some snow showers saturday afternoon but at that point any accumulation would be done. In fact as we look at the expected snowfall totals a coating to an inch dover millville, just north and west of Atlantic City to southern parts of camden and Gloucester County before it washes away by tomorrow morning. 1 to 3inchs from wilmington, philadelphia and trenton and in that vicinity were looking at the lower end as opposed to the higher end of that range and the same thing for those northwestern suburbs. More likely closer to the three than 5inches p we see a little mixing going on in those far northwestern suburbs. The heaviest precipitation is between 2 00 a. M. And 8 00 a. M. With that period of icing to the north and west that accumulates on the already packed snow cover. And then light precipitation throughout your day on saturday, so saturday roads may be a little slushy north and west but if you take it slow you should be able to get to point a and b during the day tomorrow and then a few flakes to end saturday afternoon. As we look at your four day at 4 00 that rain and mix ending early tomorrow morning and then just again some lighter showers throughout the day. At 39 warm degrees and then clouds build on sunday after morning sun of 42. Sunday night into monday morning well have another period of some snow. That will not be a mix. Temperatures will be cold enough to keep it all snow at 29 and then tuesday brisk and cold only 26 for a high. Well have much more on that monday system and how much were expecting to see with that one as well coming up in the next half hour. Keeping you busy adam thanks. Historians in Delaware County had a big delivery to handle today and we mean it. Under this white tarp is a trolley that used to run in chester back in 1916.

The latest on a noreaster set to dump freezing rain and snow on parts of our area in just a few hours. Lets get right over to meteorologist adam joseph tracking the timing and track of this next system. Hey, adam. Just a few hours away. We had a decent amount of sunshine throughout the day with temperatures seasonable in the upper 30s to near 40 degrees and right now a live look on sky 6 over center city still showing some highlight of glow to the sky but the clouds are really beginning to thicken and were about four hours or so in philadelphia from seeing the first snowflakes fall. As we look at double scan live radar this is a very life imagery you can see it is clear across our region. Towards baltimore starting to see a little rain develop. As we look at double scan live radar on our wider scare the actual low pressure System Center still south of atlanta near the panhandle of florida. That will transfer its energy to a coastal storm but you can see it already has a lot of precipitation with it but the majority of it is in the form of rain with very little bit of snow at the leading edge and thats what will push in here this evening for most of us but as we look at the temperature profile notice one thing on here. You dont see any 20s off to the north on this map. There is no large high High Pressure center in Eastern Canada as weve been talking the last couple days to kind of pull down some cold air to keep this in the form of snow for most of us so right now philadelphia 38 degrees, the same for raleigh and atlanta coming in at 43. So heres that time line for the noreaster as we get into this evening overnight into saturday. It arrives from the southwest to the northeast between about 6 oclock to 11 oclock, 6 oclock towards dover 11 00 to the Lehigh Valley. Heaviest precipitation is when most of us are home and sleeping and around 2 00 a. M. To 8 00 a. M. And then between 8 00 a. M. And 5 00 p. M. Tomorrow its just some lingering very light precipitation throughout the day. Well talk about how much were going to who is going to see what when that transition pulls in coming up. Thank you adam.

A vehicle that broke down here on the westbound side approaching the roosevelt boulevard. They got it wished off to the side but still a little pushed off to the side but still a little bit heavy. The dv in the middle of that delay. On the roosevelt boulevard northbound on ninth street we had that crash in the inner drive. Thats cleared. No need to worry about that. But you still have plenty of traffic on 95. Lots of slow speeds, just 12 Miles Per Hour there in the normal busy spot northbound by the betsy ross bridge. And its been a very busy afternoon on the blue route. Southbound side still solid from past the schuylkill through this point at lima springfield but the crash here is gone so no need to worry about that. Just expect heavy delays as you travel south on the blue route n mansfield Burlington County still have that Police Activity on 206 southbound past 68. In audubon park Camden County theres a wham water main break. 3232 youed. Yeah, we wont forget. Thats if were not doing the shorts. I think we should avoid the shorts. Just saying. Thank you. Meteorologist adam joseph back with that exclusive accuweather 7day forecast coming up next. Huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Everybody knows that. Well, did you know you that former pro Football Player ickey woods will celebrate almost anything . Unhuh. Number 44. Whoooo fortyfour, thats me get some cold cuts. Get some cold cuts. Get some cold cuts whooo gimme some geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Whoo fortyfour ladies, thats me whoo. Gonna get some cold cuts today meteorologist adam joseph now. This noreaster its been a bit of a bear to pin down over the last couple days. Yeah, its the timing, its the precipitation type. From the get go said the warm air is going to win out with this storm because theres a lack of cold air and that is definitely still the case with the latest information. As we take a look at live double scan radar, were dry clouds are thickening up. You can see rain to the west of dover and near baltimore as the leading edge is beginning to push in. We take a look at the numbers. Were in the upper 30s right now. 38 in philadelphia, 37 in millville as well as dover. The poconos the only spot right now where its sitting at 32 degrees. Now, as the precipitation comes in, although it looks like the majority of it is in the form of liquid rain, we have those dewpoints which is the measure of moisture in the air and thats in degrees fahrenheit, that is low enough that when this precipitation comes in, well create a little bit of cold air at the onset to change it to snow for most of us but then the warm air will overtake as the low develops and the wind is sent in off of the atlantic. So at 10 oclock tonight it begins as rain and stays as rain in far southern areas of new jersey and delaware. For philadelphia, wilmington, all the surrounding suburbs it will begin as some wet snow. It snows for a few hours before that rain takes over all the way north from lancaster, philadelphia, on the verge of trenton around 3 oclock in the morning still snowing in those far northwestern suburbs of bucks county and the Lehigh Valley and even by 7 oclock in the morning, that rain will even try to get as far north as reading and allentown but could be right on the verge of seeing not only wet snow but some sleet and freezing rain as you get that transition period and by noon, some leftover rain showers throughout the day tomorrow, some snow showers north and west and as we wrap it up and pull this system out in the afternoon at 5 oclock, it could end in all areas as some brief wet snowflakes but it wouldnt accumulate in the afternoon. Association how much are we expecting . Again, that coating to an inch in far southern areas of interior new jersey, also central parts of delaware before it washes all away. 1 to 3 inches philadelphia trenton, wilmington and those immediate northwestern suburbs before most of that also begins to wash away overnight. And then 3 to 5inches far north and west, but in addition in those far northwestern suburbs to the greater totals of snow, there will be a period of some icing as well on top of the snow. Were looking at less than a quarter with the light blue here, quakertown, pottstown reading, into the Lehigh Valley and that period would be between about 4 oclock in the morning to 9 oclock in the morning after the snow and that icing would develop on the power lines, the trees the bridges the overpasses, sidewalks and driveways but the good news is many of the surfaces will be treated by then and also there will be snow on the ground so the ice would accumulate on the snow not on bear ground so its a very different story but still something we have to follow compared to last sunday. As we look at the forecast for tonight, snow to start for most of us. Then it mixes and changes to rain hail. 28 to 31 early and then temperatures rise overnight. In the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast rain mixing and ending in the afternoon as a quick period of snow were out in accumulation. Sun to clouds sunday, 42 and early on monday morning another round of light snow as a weak clipper comes in. It looks like it develops sunday night and its in time unfortunately for the morning rush on monday, one to 3inches of snow so expect delays monday morning in your might but thats out of here by about 8 oclock monday morning so most of monday is just cloudy and its very cold thereafter tuesday and wednesday and still below normal all the way into friday of next week at 35 degrees.
