High seas and maybe intense very dangerous. Like a northeaster. Its Something Like a tropical system. Rapid in intensifications. We might see it tuesday, wednesday. That is a week away. We have to deal with two systems before then and our system is inching in. Theres bans associated with it and they are beginning to move a little bit inland. You can see that activity southwest of monterey. A possibility of some convective activity and the lower levels the atmosphere are drier. The system did have lightning strikes and its lifting south than north. What that tells you is this may be a coastal and bay event thane lent because it wont have the energy. Its too far away from the Energy Source as it moves toward the Sacramento Valley and sierra. Cloudy with rain moving in. We talked about it around the noon hour. It will start to pick up for later as we head into the afternoon and evening hours. Rainfall from this first system will not be much through today. Less than a tenth of an inch. Lat
Will be dealing with. Not a lot. It is coming in around 3 00, 4 00 in the afternoon. It could be a couple of one hundredths. Highs today in the 60s. 7 01. Did the metering lights ever come on . They did, steve. Okay. Something interesting it that you might find. People in oregon can pump their own gas according to a new law. They couldnt do that before. Yes. New jersey has that law too. In oregon you cant pump your own gas. And you cant pump your own gas in new jersey. I will keep that in mind when im driving in new jersey. Lets take a look at the commute here in california where we have been pumping our gas longer than i can remember. This is a look at the westbound bay bridge. Its backed up now. To answer steves question, the metering lights are on but not as long as of a delay as usual. Traffic looks good. If youre on San Francisco freeway, northbound 101 looks good approaching the 80 split. The east bay commute is looking good. Not much slow traffic. This is northbound 280 on the r
Heavier snowfall during the Morning Hours. Thats going to make for a treacherous morning commute and even this afternoon getting around is going to be difficult. Were already seeing gusty winds and this afternoon, winds of 30 to 50 Miles Per Hour are possible, so even after the snow stops falling from the sky, blowing and drifting snow is going to limit visibility. You mention the winds. Look at the view. Thats from center city. Thats the lowes hotel camera. Those flags are getting a workout this morning. Hundreds of miles offshore. Its a big storm system and so this one even though its going to be riding up offshore and stay away from us, its close enough to do this, spreading heavy snowfall. The bands of heavier snowfall have been crossing into not only new jersey but also southern delaware and parts of southern delaware. Already have five inches of snow on the ground and there is more on the way. Well break it down hour by hour and when the snow will come to an end coming up in just
Right now. We have part of the region, berks county, Lehigh Valley, poconos, upper buck and montgomery that has seen the precipitation and extreme south jersey, it hasnt even started yet but we have a zone in between where its coming down and this area of pink, that is freezing rain. Those are raindrops that freeze upon contact with surfaces. And especially untreated surfaces, like side roads, driveways, sidewalks. Youve got to watch where your walking tonight. Much in philadelphia is in the freezing rain and all of Delaware County, camden, gloucester, northern, burlington counties.
