Chadds ford almost four and almost 2. 2inches at the Philadelphia International airport. So ultimate doppler showing you this system. Weve been dealing with it pretty much the balance of the day, but you can see that back edge is in site so over the next couple of hours we will see a rapid tapering of the system and then melting during the day tomorrow. But right now, as we zoom in around the philadelphia area, still dealing with some of that rain and snow. Starting to warm up a little bit as we move toward the west deptford area. Changing over to more in the way of rainfall and then its just all rain extreme south jersey and sections of delaware. Those temperatures holding pretty steady right now. In the low 30s and visibility right now its terrible out there. Zero in wilmington, millville as well as atlantic city. So lets go hour boy hour. Watch the clock. You can see were still dealing with that snow around philadelphia. Rain south jersey. So if you have some plans over the next couple of hours once again a rapid exit of the system system. However, slick slushy and icy Road Conditions out there. So drive slowly. Slow down, use some common sense and we still have the winter wet advisories through late tonight. So overnight tonight were watching out for a refreeze of all of that slush. But once again we are looking at spring arriving in less than 30 minutes. 6 45 is the official vernally with knock the sun will be directly over the equator. Those nights will start to get longer and also those temperatures should start to warm up. Well warm up for the first par of the weekend. Lots of melting. 54 degrees for the High Temperature tomorrow. But chilly again as we move toward sunday with highs only in the 40s. So that wintry mix ends over the next couple of hours. But watch out for slick roads and black ice temperatures at or below freezing. Moving ahead to tomorrow, partly sunny, lots of melting out there there. But if you have errands first thing tomorrow morning it is still going to be cold, slushy and icy. So just be mindful of that. 54 degrees will be achieved later on in the day. As far as those temperatures moving toward sunday into the 40s. It stays chilly to kick off the first full week of spring. 47 on tuesday. Then milder by wednesday mid 50s. Thursday temperatures top out in the low 60s. And then it turns a little cooler but i mean we can still manage 49 degrees. Just no more snow until we need to have it again probably in the fall.
