going to change pretty rapidly while you're asleep tonight. that rain changing to snow and in many cases heavy snow. it is going to be snowing for the morning rush across much of the area. and possibly heavy snow during that period, leading to the biggest snowfall of the season. most likely 4.8 inches is the biggest in philadelphia so far and we have a very good chance of exceeding that. there is a winter storm warning for virtually the entire area except for the lehigh valley and poconos, which actually is going to get less snow than just about any other part of the area. there is the path now. just patchy light rain and there isn't a whole lot more coming. so it is not going to be a real wet few hours here. but look what is back to the west. not only heavier rain but this is the snow area. that's going to arrive right along that and come in tonight. we're up to 39 degrees at philadelphia, hasn't been that warm in a while. we're at 37 allentown, reading. above freezing everywhere. even in the poconos, so no other icing today, no icing during the evening, almost 50 in georgetown. so we're in the 40s further to the south. but here's what's going to happen. there is that patchy light rain. there is the heavier rain coming in. by 2:00 get a little bit more 4:00, not a whole lot. but by 6:00 more and more rain. by this evening, it is getting more widespread. it is getting heavier. 9:00 it is still just rain. but there is midnight and here comes the changeover. once we get the changeover, it can go from heavy rain to heavy snow like that. and then start to accumulate. there is 2:00 in the morning, 5:00 in the morning, the snow is widespread. you notice not much up to the north and there is 7:00 a.m. the changeover from rain to snow, midnight to 2:00 a.m. north and west 2:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. in and around the philadelphia zone. 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. little further to the south. and 6:00 to 8:00 a.m. far south. it is going to take longer to

bumps and bruises after the rough landing. now, your nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. >> well we had a rough month of february and first week of march certainly not very different. got kind of gloomy skies right now and it is going to stay looking like that overall for at least another 24 hours. we have first alert for later tonight and into tomorrow. first alert weather day. that rain changing to snow perhaps heavy rain to heavy snow in a very short period of time. snowy morning rush for much of the area. things are going to be very difficult to get around tomorrow morning. and possibly the biggest snowfall of the winter season in philadelphia our highest numbers so far is 4.8. and we have a good chance of being higher than that. we're higher in the temperature department than we have been lately. look at that 45 in dover and wildwood. even 37 in allentown. 39 in philly. so it is not nearly as cold as it has been. a winter storm warning, though for most of the area except for lehigh valley and poconos because of what is coming overnight tonight and into tomorrow. we have patchy areas of mostly light rain now moving from west to east across the area. so it is just wet. some of that snow melting. but it is what is happening back to our west. there is extremely cold air to the north. and so you see a little bit of a changeover in ohio way bigger changeover back to the west near st. louis. this area is where the storm -- that's going to arrive right along the cold air and that's what's going to help change this from rain to snow. so we have different computer models. i'll show you a couple as we go through the hour here. this is one of them. you can see the patchy areas of rain through 5:00. the rain gets heavier this evening. and then melting more snow. and then we see that changeover to snow. that's heavy snow. darker blue. middle of the night, so you may go to bed, and it is raining, and it is above freezing and you think, not much of a storm. and then you wake up in the morning, like where did all that white stuff come from? and it is coming down from the sky too. there it is. morning rush. now, it is possible it could already be over in the lehigh valley and poconos. so be a morning rush that is not too bad up there. but the philadelphia area close northern western suburbs and through delaware and south jersey, that's a snowy morning rush. then again this model is ending the snow by early afternoon. but other models keep it a little long and therefore higher snow totals. but it is certainly gone by tomorrow evening. now, in general, we have got the bull's eye and i think it is going to be perhaps just south of philadelphia itself. that means northern delaware and a lot of south jersey gets the most. lower amounts as you head to the north. so just how much? 3 to 5 inches from the lehigh valley berks county which is not a huge storm for that area. and, again, it is going to be the first place to see it end. 4 to 7 inches from philadelphia up towards central bucks and upper montgomery doylestown norristown westchester, all of chester county in that 4 to 7 zone. trenton in the 4 to 7 zone. 6 to 9 in much of new castle county salem, gloucester the southern half of burlington camden county and down toward central delaware near dover, millville in the 6 to 9 category. then 4 to 7, little further south. that's still a pretty significant snowstorm for the southern areas. cape may county. and 3 to 5 inches far south. that is pretty significant too. so it is going to vary according to the area. and, of course we'll update it throughout the day and night. temperatures in the 40s with periods of rain milder rain gets heavier this evening. changes to snow. and it is a snowy day tomorrow with falling temperatures. so even if the snow is not sticking immediately, it will eventually as it gets colder and colder. bitter cold on friday. and into saturday morning, but then really nice weekend, although we lose an hour of sleep. >> thank you, glenn. is your cell phone vulnerable to a hacker? some cell phone companies are scrambling to fix a possible security

alert weather day, rain changes to snow perhaps heavy rain changing to heavy snow within an hour. snowy morning rush over much of the area and potential for the biggest snowfall of the season in parts of the region. winter storm warning in effect for just about the entire area even southern delaware. but not for the lehigh valley and poconos because they'll be getting lesser amounts of snow. and they can handle the amount of snow that is going to be coming. you can see patches of mostly light rain on the radar right now. everything is moving from west to east. so let's look back to the west and see what's going on there. that's what's going on snow. the blue indicating heavier snow in the darker colors. there is snow sleet, rain. that is going to be coming right across our area tonight. now, it is kind of mild now 39 degrees, even 43 in northeast philly. way too warm for snow. but start to melt some of the snow and ice, then it gets colder. temperatures fall during the day tomorrow. by tomorrow night, it is brutally cold again. so here we go and there is the rain moving through as we go through the night and into tomorrow. there is the heavier rain. and at 8:00 tonight. at 10:00 tonight. so you're out there this evening and it is just raining, it is mild. what's going on here. here comes the changeover to snow. very quickly. and in a matter of a couple of hours, heavy rain to heavy snow and spreads through the rest of the area. and by tomorrow morning, all of a sudden everybody is getting a good amount of snow. it changes midnight to 2:00 a.m. further north 2:00 to 4:00 a.m. across the area and later further south. that means that it is going to take longer to end further south as well. more of an update on the snow totals and timing with the rest of the seven day in

buckets blake. well -- >> now your nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. >> well had a real active february and now beginning in march, another first alert weather day coming in for thursday starting basically after midnight. and lasting into tomorrow afternoon. that rain changing to snow overnight tonight, possibly heavy rain to heavy snow within an hour or two. the snowy morning rush for much of the area. and potential at least for the biggest snowfall of the season philadelphia, so far, biggest is 4.8 inches. we had several storms bigger than that last winter. up to 41 degrees now in philadelphia. mild as it has been in a long time. 46 in dover. 37 in allentown. hard to believe that we're about to see snow. but there is a winter storm warning in effect for the entire area, except for the lehigh valley and the poconos, which is going to get much less snow than the philadelphia area for example. we have some patchy areas of mainly light rain now moving from west to east. little more in delaware than elsewhere. but this is the area around st. louis on the cold side of this system going to arrive right along it. there is bitter cold air to the north, very warm air to the south. temperature contrast is extreme for this time of the year. and that's part of the reason that you can get a lot of snow totals. now, we showed you one computer model, half hour ago, this is a different one starting off with the rain this afternoon. this gives you a general area of where the rain and snow and mix is. at 8:00 still raining, but possibly starting to mix up toward berks county lehigh valley and go into snow. around midnight with a bit of mixture all the way into the philadelphia area then. and that changed to snow so by 6:00 a.m. just about everybody is in snow as we have been saying. this model, slows everything down, and then the blues start getting darker to the south in delaware and south jersey. so this is suggesting some pretty heavy snowfall in central delaware, into south jersey and that's where i'm tending to agree with in general as you can see the heaviest snow just south of philadelphia northern delaware northern half of delaware, much of south jersey. still significant amounts in the darker blue. and then lesser amounts as you go farther to the north. so specifically 3 to 5, lehigh valley, possible it could be even less up toward the poconos. 4 to 7 inches across the southern half of bucks county. most of montgomery and chester, delaware county city of philadelphia 4 to 7. and then 6 to 9 inches
