where you live. we'll break it down coming up. let's talk about those temperatures right now. 40s. up from degrees right now the high temperature today made it up to 46. you factor in that wind out of the north it feels a little chilly mid 30s. so have a jacket and sweater if you're stepping out. there could be few passing sprinkles and flurries this evening with the fast-moving disturbance but it's not the main event. main clipper arrives wednesday afternoon and evening. 2-inches of snow on average. so slick commute for tomorrow afternoon and evening. as well as thursday morning's rush so just be mindful of that. here's the disturbance bringing with it the sprinkles like showers across the area today. a few flurries far north and west. but it's rapidly dissipating as it moves through our area right now without a whole lot of fanfare but the main event we're still watching it take shape toward sioux falls also moving toward the minneapolis area. not whole lot of moisture but it will continue to head in our direction. winter wither advisories posted for sections of delaware county, new castle counsel fee chester lancaster as well as berks county for that snowfall beginning in the western zones first. so as we time everything out you can see as we watch the progression of that moisture by lunch time tomorrow, trying to move into those western zones. so it's really going to take several hours before it starts to intensify across our area. by 3:00 o'clock we're looking at that snowfall moving in once again the timing not good for that evening rush. you can see by 6:00 o'clock, we're looking at that snow from trenton to philadelphia moving in to dover parts of south jersey. by 8:00 o'clock, we're still looking at that snow. it starts to taper off as we move toward the 9:00 o'clock and midnight hour. but we are looking at a couple of inches accumulating across our area. so i'll step out of the way you can see mainly rain for cape may county as well as sussex county in delaware but as we move toward new castle county, chester county, lancaster as well as berks county we could see two to 3-inches of snowfall. what does that mean for philadelphia? trenton voorhees moving into millville and dover? we could see from one to 2-inches out of this event. so timing that clipper the snow begins far west around lunch time tomorrow and then the instead yesterday snowfall from four to 9:00 p.m. starts to taper off in the evening toward midnight tomorrow and it's out of here but once again, tomorrow evening's commute and thursday morning's commute will be compromised. we're looking at temperatures tonight below freezing. early sprinkles and flurries with that disturbance. high temperatures tomorrow in the mid 30s. that snowfall it starts far west approaches the philadelphia area as we move toward the three four 5:00 o'clock hour. right into time for that evening commute to cause some slushy conditions on the roadways especially those untreated surfaces. we dry out for thursday. it's chilly 40 degrees. pretty seasonal. and then it looks like another kha*l chance for some snowfall perhaps from maybe even potent stronger system for saturday. then look at monday and tuesday. we have more chances for snow in that seven day forecast. so, yeah lucy, i think you might want to invest in and shovel. >> i'll get one. i got a question for you as meteorologist. >> yes. >> do you think that rain has a smell? you know when it rains out -- >> sometimes. >> i do. i kind of do. and if you do, you're -- >> smells like rain. >> smells like rain,
