Reporter as far as air travel is concerned, many airports on the east coast are roaring major delays which could ripple across the country as airlines try to deal with passenger backups much at Ronald Reagan National Airport peter barnes, fox business. Philadelphia interNational Airport, you know, no exception to that one. My daughter was sitting in houston trying to get here for about 3. 5 hours because of what was going on here. The weather in houston was beautiful. Perfect. Exactly much thats how it happens sometimes, of course, right now were still dealing with the storm system this noreaster but the good news, the heaviest of the precip now moving into sections of new england. We still have a few more hours to get through. So its not o as we focus in on ultimate doppler, you can see north and west of i95 thats where most of the snow has been throughout the day. So this system is playing out just as expected with mostly rain in sections of south jersey and delaware. But right along i95 north and west, once you move toward the back to the nations capitol. So this moisture will continue to head in our direction over the next couple of hours. But once again, temperatures have been critical throughout the day today. Many locations have been above freezing so that has helped us out and also just monday we were looking at high temperatures in the 70s so its hard to get that snowfall to accumulate to of course the concrete and we talked about this yesterday, that mainly it would accumulate on the grassy surfaces. So as we take a look at how things play out over the neck several hours heres, 7 00 oclock, once again, mainly north and west were looking at that snowfall continuing but look at what happens by 8 00 oclock, most of the moisture continues to move on to the north and east were looking at rapid tapering from 8 00 until 11 00 oclock and overnight it stays cold and and that for thanksgiving, we are dry but chilly. So heres the timeline over the neck several hours watching for that wintry mix mainly rain in south jersey and delaware but once again along i95 were still looking at that change over continuing and then from 8 00 to 11 00 rapid tapering overnight watching out for slick spots. The pocono mountains so far about half a foot or more of snowfall. Allentown 4inches. Quakertown three. Exton 3. 1. Moving toward the albrightsville area in the pocono mountains 8inches of snowfall. Chadds ford 2. 5inches. Wayne about an inch and a half of snow. So once you move north and west its a totally different scenario with those secondary roads pretty slushy but the primary roads have really just been wet. 36 degrees right now. So temperatures are above freezing at the Philadelphia International airport. Still watching for some airport delays, arriving flights up to two hours and if youre trying to fly from philadelphia to boston or new york, longer delays than that. But 37 right now in atlantic city. Low 30s in pottstown. The only spot right now below freezing the pocono mountains at 30 degrees. So temperatures have been critical f youre traveling tomorrow on thanksgiving across the country lets take a look at self destinations. At at a sunny temperatures in the upper fours. Chic shock may a few flurries 20s for high temperatures. Dallas its going to be pretty comfortable were looking at temperatures in the 60s. Boston more rain and snow tomorrow. That system will leave there last. So as we take a look tomorrow morning, much of the nation it will be quiet across the area. Were looking at High Pressure in control. Really no problems for thanksgiving few showers moving toward sections of the pacific northwest. But all in all looking pretty good for thanksgiving. Temperatures tonight, in the low 30s for center city. But outlying areas watching out for black ice and also a freeze up slick roads slushy conditio conditions. Tomorrow for thanksgiving, temperatures top out around 40 degrees. Well see a mixture of sun and clouds, drier, but it stays chilly with temperatures below where we shall be for this time of year.
