they're about to get put to good use. upper 40s right now but allentown along with the rest of our area is under a winter weather watch. but first, we get to enjoy a day of record warmth. good evening, i'm lucy noland. we've got one topsy turvy forecast the next 36 hours. let's start right now. warm february night. a lot of folks have light jackets on probably not even thinking about snow, but it is coming. the question now is when and how much? so what do you think, kathy? >> well, we'll talk about significant snow lucy when we use the word significant, meteorologically it equates to about five or 6-inches of snow. so you can keep that in your back pock. ultimate doppler showing a front moving through tomorrow. highlighted with some of those showers. ahead of it very warm temperatures. temperatures will be rising overnight tonight. you mentioned 40s in the philadelphia area. it's 42 degrees. look at raleigh 64. we'll get a piece of that during the day tomorrow with temperatures warming but look at the cold in chicago 33. this is not that far away. so tale of two seasons. tomorrow it will be shorts weather feeling like spring and then back to the shovels by your thursday morning. so front moves through tomorrow cooling temperatures. then this area of low pressure that looks benign a few days ago will be moving offshore intensifying we have the cold in place. we have the moisture from the ocean and we'll be seeing that significant snow. it will be late tomorrow night and into thursday. at least through midday. winter storm watch has been extended through philadelphia through south jersey and northern delaware. that winter storm watch gets underway tomorrow night. it continues through the day on thursday. now as we go hour by hour you can see wednesday temperatures will be peeking in the 60s with some breaks in the overcast. the clouds thicken and then by 1:00 a.m. this snow is knocking at our door and then by 3am it's here. the peak of it the height of the storm during the morning rush six, seven, 8am and by noon it is exiting the east coast at least new jersey and temperatures will be falling it will be gusty as well. the snow starts between 1am and 3am thursday morning. heaviest between five and 8:00 a.m. it ends around noon. when we talk about the snow accumulatioaccumulations, we'reg about significant snow over a big part of the region. where you see the dark blew about six to 8-inches. philadelphia five to 6-inches. four to six through this blue area extending through wilmington and then two to four through millville and dover a coating to couple inches possible with more mixing gone going on down the shore. impacts will be significant periods of heavy snow through the morning rush. poor visibility slow travel. i anticipate airport delays thursday morning and biggest impact will be during the morning rush. overnight tonight low temperatures in the 50s actually be rising overnight. during the day tomorrow, around noon it will already be 60. the record is 63. and we will tie that record most likely tomorrow winds becoming northwest in the afternoon. your seven day forecast tells the story. look at this.

season. it's been good news for penndot. crews have used 33,000 tons of road salt so far this season in the philly area. but they still have 115,000 tons left to use. and any snow removal money
