And taking a look now live outside at i95 in south philadelphia. You can see snow falling right there on our camera this morning in south philly. And heres a live look from the ground in Chestnut Hill. First alert meteorologist bill henley has your first accurate forecast for your neighborhood. And those roads surely becoming a mess this morning. Yeah, Chestnut Hill gets a little bit colder than center city. So you can see that accumulation on the roadway. Meantime center city is kind of missing out. There are a few snowflakes, but its mainly been rain overnight, but it is warmer in center city. Thats normal, but it is melting as it comes down. But the temperature is slowly falling. Not going to get cold enough for a scene like this. For camelback mountain, they have 7 plus inches on the ground this morning. We are getting our share. Its a very light snowfall in south philadelphia. In new jersey is snow has slowly been making its way into new jersey. This was just getting rain overnight. The temperatures have been above freezing in south jersey and especially towards the shore where theres only rain this morning. Off towards the north and west, thats been steady snowfall for much of the night for allentown and reading and into the suburbs as well. We will see more accumulation even into delaware as well. The temperatures have been clearing up. It temperatures will slowly cool down the air temperature. And then the ground gets cold enough to support that midwintery mix, that slushy condition that we were seeing in Chestnut Hill this morning. This will come to an end this morning. We will see some sunshine later today. Meteorologist crystal cline is standing by with an update. Were starting with the areas getting the most snow, which is over the poconos and view from camelback mountain. But this is light snow. Seeing reports of 3 to 5 inches. For the rest of us, though, many of us only half an inch or an inch at best in pennsylvania neighborhoods or just rain so far in south jersey and delaware. Theres the setup were currently dealing with. This is just one computer models forecast. I want to show you a tight view of some of our neighborhoods forecast here. Snow already falling and its going to continue as we go through that 9 00 a. M. Hour. Notice the coloration here. Its a pretty light blue purple. That indicates a light snow, but regardless this is 9 00 a. M. This is in the peak of our commute time. Is it heavy snow, no. But is it going to be an annoyance and slow you down on your way to work or school, yes. Temperatures going to be right near freezing as we go through noon and lunchtime. Everything is starting to thin and start to move out down to the south and east. So from noon into the afternoon hours theres just nothing left for us. The evening commute should be fine as you head home, but it will be quite cold. And few wet spots could still be a little slippery still. So you have to watch out for that. But youll no longer need those windshield wipers. The areas in white thats a rain to snow mix. The shore likely everything will melt on those roads. Theyre a little too warm. The areas in pink, one inch or less. So this is from mercer to philly down to wilmington and New Castle County for snow totals. Ask that includes berks county as well as the lee high valley. Already 3 to 5 inches already reported in some of the poconos. Reading up to allentown, pottstown over to richland and eastland all in that 1 to 3 zone. Perksy the same. In abington to morristown and that change over farther south. When we came on the air at 4 00 this morning a lot of roads were wet but now theyre snow covered and very slippery. She has first alert traffic for you this morning, jessica. I feel like the roads are actually a little bit worse when theres less snow when its a morn like today because everyone still goes out. A lot of cars are on the roads and that causes a lot of problems. Were watching a few of them. 95 on gerard avenue is the first one. The drive time is already hiked up there, and its probably going to stay there theiat leas through the morning commute. Also watching a vehicle fire right around green street. Now, probably weather related here. A crash right around lincoln avenue and a road closure out in ben salem because of a crash here that is closed around creek road and on the southbound side closed around park avenue. A predator and the monster thats how our nations elite gymnasts are describing their former team doctor. I have experienced flashbacks and nagt mares of the abuse. Next dr.

This is live look at allentown, the lee high valley this morning and nbc 10s matt delucia is there live. And as of an hour ago he was using his trusty ruler telling us theres about an inch and a half of snow on the ground. Shame, disgust and selfhatred, just some of the feelings gymnasts say their usa doctor caused them. Without they knowledge and consent i engaged in my first sexual experience by kindergarte kindergarten. This is just one of the many accusers to continue today. Tracy, the woman you just heard from there asked the judge to make sure that larry nasser would never be free to hurt anyone ever again. Her testimony was moving. Nasser, the former gymnastics doctor was a friend of the family. He said his actions tore them apart. She looked right at master and told him he convinced her parents she was leeing aboying abuse. Nasser never looked at her and instead he sat quietly hiding his face with his hands, at times visibly shaking as his victims detailed how his abuse changed their lives. She was one of the first nearly 100 victims who will give their testimony. They were not in the courtroom for a second straight day in that michigan courtroom, nasser set to hear from the people he hurt. I listen to you tell me no one should ever do that, and if they do you should tell someone. Well, larry, not to tell someone but to tell everyone. Another victim testified that she too often thinks of suicide. Nasser is facing a maximum of 125 years in prison. Thats on top of a 60year sentence for possessing child pornography. All right, thank you, pamela. While we continue to watch Road Conditions this morning as they are going from bad to worse in some areas pause of the snow. In some areas, and we have you covered with where its wet, where its slushy, whats happening on the overpasses and onramps and offramps. Jessica always warns us those are the first to get really slick. Thats what always happens especially on day like this where you cant necessarily see a huge accumulation of snow immediately. This kind of stuff happens. 95 right around gerard avenue a crash off to shoulder now that was off in the lefthand lane before. The drive time really hasnt moved, though, still 29 minutes. More cars heading up from wood haven road to the vine speeds still up into the 20s. Another crash on east county road right around lincoln avenue. And in ben salem another crash where we have a route closure. 13 southbound closed around park avenue. So clearly a lot of crashes to contend with this morning and some speed restricts too parts of the new jersey turnpike as well, and bridges are the first to freeze first. So remember that slippery on the on and offramps and the bridges. You want to go slower. So the snow isnt stopping these people. Take a look at this video we got this morning. Getting their work out in. Be saw them jogging carefully. By this afternoon you guys will have sunshine, but it looks like you have dedicated runners slash joggers still. Its going to be cold all day long including in the lee high valley. This is where were seeing our colder temperatures and very light snowfall but still coming down in the lee high valley. Cape may, thats just rain. Streets are damp from the rain overnight. Right now were seeing interior new jersey right around freezing. This is down in the last hour. The atmosphere is slely cooling down. First the air cools down and then the ground actually cools down and well see some accumulation like were seeing in Chestnut Hill. 30s for much of the area, but now in berks county most areas in the 20s. Fleetwood, reading, hope town township, those are all going to stay on the ground unless treated or shoveled. Bethlehem at 31 degrees. We will see some breaks of sunshine through the clouds this afternoon. This morning that is snow. That is light snow that is falling, and it is now spread across the suburbs into delaware, and it is inching into new jersey as well. And eventually theyll sweep that rainout of the picture for south jersey. There are some thin spots, so youll see some breaks in precipitation. Were only looking at light snowfall. This is not a big storm but its the timing of it and the slippery conditions for the morning commute, why weve issued a first alert for our area. Were tracking rain and snow, but the snow is taking over from west to east. So well see less and less neighborhoods getting rain. The slippery morning commute especially on bridges and overpasses. Those will be the first to cool down. Then well get that gradual cooling this afternoon. For philadelphia snow showers at 8 00, dry at lunchtime and the snow will be done in the suburbs by noontime. Staying in the 20s this afternoon for the suburbsch a. And a break or two of sunshine after the morning snow comes to an end. For delaware snowing right now. Its going to be snowing at 8 00 but just cloudy skies at lunchtime and delaware and new jersey. The clouds will thin for some breaks of sunshine later on in the day. The jersey shore mostly cloudy. Youll see some flurries but no accumulating snowfall at the shore. There are warmer and dryer days ahead. And actually, they start tomorrow. After a cold morning, 38 degrees for thursday.
