definitely going to be the case down the road here, guys. chilly granted for this last day, can't believe it is the last day of january already. but regardless, today will actually ends up being pretty seasonable day. low 40's, where we expect to top off. but we're in for stretch of days that don't break out of the 30's. for now, the clipper system that will help to get us to that point is just beginning to make its arrival here in far western most lancaster county. see light snow over spread the north and western suburbs, especially, up the mountains here in the next couple of hours, and that is going to be a running theme for the poconos here today. so, very quickly let's highlight the region, get the biggest impact. light snow. periods of it all day. it will be arriving no later than eight, one to 3 inches of accumulation is the expectation, around certainly close with travel pretty obvious there but worth a mention. meanwhile actually coal enough to produce snow anywhere right now, won't see it roll through the southern counties. southern two thirds of the region generally dry for the rest of the morning, upper 20's, the best we're finding across the region right now. cold start. thankfully not terribly windy. hint of breeze, nothing more. as the day goes on, you know, i think if you're in southern new jersey most of delaware you probably don't see raindrop let alone snowflake. but there will be a rain or snow shower that rolls through philadelphia, especially this afternoon, that's why there could be few raindrops mixed in, so not going to amount to much, meisha, but if you ever fine yourself driving through snow it, could reduce your visibility as you well know. >> oh, yes, there is no doubt about it. all right, katie, thank you so much. speaking of reduced visible, not so much that we're seeing right now, no fog, roadways nice and dry, but starting to see problems on the roadways right now. looking at right now, do have accident, schuylkill eastbound past belmont avenue. pulled off to the right. you can see a lot of the flashing lights. no doubt about this will start to slow you down right now have, at love gaper delay, people putting on brake lights, and if you can see from the blue route to the vine, on the schuylkill it, will take you about 30 minutes. and it is looking very red, letting us know you are not even close to traveling at posted speeds, in fact, i wouldn't doubt it if you are almost completely supposed if you pass by the accident. heads up. again, that's going to slow you down. then also have a disable box truck here 95 south near allegheny. pulled all the way off to the right. kind of block that shoulder. plus a little bit of the far right lane. that's going to slow you down as well causing some of the vehicles, looks like hopefully starting to mover out of this way right now. nevertheless, it is very slow on 95 between the southbound direction as we well know at around 6:30 in the morning. then we have been talking about there is two alarm fire at six story apartment building in old city. road closures for you. market closed from third to front. latesha close from the market to chestnut, second
