Threat is there. 32 in pottstown. Right at the freezing mark nor trenton and and mount holly.

Meteorologist bill henley has your first alert forecast. The rain is making it an impossible situation for some people. Especially on untreated surfaces. Rain is moving in which normally isnt a problem unless temperatures are at or below freezing. Thats whats happening this morning. Temperatures are falling in much of the area near freezing so we have a first alert weather day issued today. Theres the potential for icing, mainly slipping and sliding from freezing rain and then later today the sleet. The untreated surfaces are the greatest risk during the day today. Were already seeing some precipitation. Its fairly light and it is rain that is falling in portions of the county Chester County right now seeing light rainfall. Temperatures are just above freezing there. You can see this pink purple color, thats where the freezing rain is happening. So thats rain that comes down and is freezing on frozen ground. And heres the problem, the temperature has dropped to 32 degrees in northeast
Could go through much of the day without seeing much of anything. The problem is the pink. Then you start to see the purple showing up indicating some snow later today. So whats happening is as this front drops south, it is bringing colder air with it, and we will see that extends as far south now as southern new new jersey and new castle county.

Even though it is all very, very modest precipitation Winter Weather advisories currently in effect across most of the board here. They last us until tomorrow morning at 6 00 a. M. So, even though all of the precipitation we find out there will remain light throughout the day and into tonight, it is going to be with us, throughout the day and into tonight before completely tapers off. Through the morning basically, whats going to happen here the general gist of this is that as temperatures slowly key word slowly decline, youll start to see that precipitation morph to rain and freezing rain and sleet and eventually tonight to some snow. While not expecting a ton of accumulation from that snow, some every you could pick up coating to an inch north every philadelphia meanwhile temperatures stay margi
