Quite the difference from what we saw from john. This comes to us from farn ham. They are socked in there. Some areas could see two feet of snow. Now here in philadelphia, its cold outside. Were closely watching the chance of the first flakes of the season for many of us. So we are talking some snow showers. Youre not measuring in teet. Your first snow of the season was always a big deal. Well walk you through that and what to expect here. It will be a messy saturday meaning that you dont want to wear your good outfit or wardrobe out and about. Your latest headlines tonight is just gray and chilly. There could be some flurries south and east by friday night. As early as then but the steadier snow comes in here on saturday. Thats south and east. I think i95 is really the dividing line between the steadier snow and rain versus little to nothing north and west of the city. And then the story becomes shots of cold that come in here so we are locked into the cold pattern all the way through next week here. After a record warm november, nothing like that here in december.

You can see this disturbance moving through pennsylvania. It has a couple flurries with it. These flurries will peter out through the overnight hours.

Its bringing Winter Weather and these are Winter Weather alerts in the white purple here from the mexico border up to atlanta and into areas of the appalachians in south and north carolina. So its a winter system that has some potential to deliver several types of precipitation. Lets walk you through hour by hour as we watch the storm from south to north. Its not tomorrow during the day. Its tomorrow night and especially on saturday. You can see this white shade here. That light, steady snow through south engineer. Also look at the temperatures. 34 degrees. That means the snow would not be sticking on the road surfaces. But on the grassy surfaces. Your car tops, the normally colder spots. So after you get through 5 00 at night, the temperature chills down a little bit and you have the solar radiation from the sun. You can see an inch or two. Well watch it. If this shifts to the west, we have more issues to the south and east. We have less issues than that. This is just how it plays out. As we go through the day on saturday, it looks like a snowy, rainy mix. It doesnt look like anything that would be too significant. A few slushy inches. The garden state parkway and expressway, 295 if you live in this vicinity, thats where you have the best chance of seeing flakes and you may see a light accumulation. Philadelphia north and west will not see much at all. Then the story becomes the frigid air. Lets talk about that on your tenday. The snow showers on saturday, 38 on sunday. 42 on monday. And then the next storm o well be tracking is tuesday night into wednesday. Potential to be some snow followed by another arctic blast. We know youll be watching.
