Welcome back at 5 14 on this monday morning and the plan, we will have some snow on it but that will begin later this evening. So just enjoy this day, lets get over to sue to give us timing. It is first to try to break down these watches and Warnings Issued by National Weather service. Mostly here in the pink area are under a winter storm warning for tonight, into early tomorrow, and i want to say midday tomorrow, and then a blizzard warning for ocean, monmouth counties and as well as new york and long island. Winter weather advisory in kent county delaware and for sure where we dont expect snow, a high wind warning is in effect with flooding possibility, as well. So, lot going on for tomorrow but nothing happening, for precipitation today. Lets time it out. We will start with today and plenty of sunshine, it will be cold sunshine and then cloud roll in at 10 00 oclock tonight. We will see snow spreading in the area by midnight mostly getting what we will get, either snow or rain but it is this line in between that is crucial to how much snow we will end up getting if you get snow, so that sleet line looks like it is trying to move further north by 8 00 oclock but in philadelphia we are still in the snow area. So if that sneaks further north we wont get as much. If it stays to the south then it is a whole different story, piles and piles of snow. North and west of the city, it looks like that is where major snowfall will be, by noon we are still in that messy area with the sleet, and then again , this is just one computer models, others have us staying cold throughout the whole morning and snow piling up but it looks like by afternoon we are dealing with snow squals and showers on tuesday so it is not completely over but war of it will be through the morning, i would say morning rush but i dont know how many people will be rushing, through early afternoon. So as the timing here are totals, project, eight to 12 inch is around that i95 corridor metro area if you will. More than a foot in berks county, Lancaster County and mountains, 15 to 18 inches, hardly anything with snowfall it will be more noreaster problems at the shore points down to the south and then in between, that is where it is trick toy predict snow fall amounts because of this sleet line that we saw trying to move northward we will see how far it gets. I wanted to show you future wind gust as well by tomorrow morning at 9 00 oclock we should have close to 60mile an hour wind gust as long the shore points and in the 30, 35 e metro area and by afternoon it is still wind which 55mile an hour gusts so beach erosion possible as well with this noreaster. I wanted to take you back, average high is 52. We will be no where near that today. It was last thursday, when we got to 68 degrees. Those seem like a distance memory now . We have been in the 30s all weekend and we will stay there even after the snow end, and we are going to be into st. Patricks day with a high of 40. We will have lucky sunshine by friday. Take you back to 12 inches of snow. I was snowed in at a bent he will low. If i had to be snowed in, that was place to be. There was no where to go. I dont think anybody was complaining at that point. Storm of the century. Good morning. 5 18. Here we go, schuylkill expressway eastbound do you see difference in the road surface.
