Tonight for the southeastern half of our area it does include Philadelphia County and goes out towards some of hose outlying suburbs of the chester county, eastern montgomery, lower bucks and all points south and east essentially. Heres a shot. The snow is already here. Not so fast. Radar can be deceiving. Very dry air here at the surface much of this is not actually hitting the ground just yet. We still have several hours before that is going to start to happen but it is very cold outside. By comparisons certainly to what we saw yesterday below freezing in a lot of instances and at Philadelphia International airport currently 31. It sure beats what youve got out there though in chicago look at this 11 the current temperature. Two below zero in minneapolis. Frigid out that way.

Its generally a light to moderate snow beginning as early as 8 00 give or take an hour so it will move from west to east light to moderate snow lasts us into early tomorrow morning. Even though were not expecting major accumulations out of this, for one thing this is the first sort of quote unquote significant snow that we are going to see so far this winter, but in addition to that, the timing is certainly less than ideal.

Topping off in the middle 50s we got to 54 degrees in philadelphia yesterday. Weep had some upper 50s down the shore. But forecast highs for today running about 10 degrees below average generally across much of the delaware valley. High temperatures will top only in the middle 30s and we have a little bit of a breeze and certainly have had high level cloud deck in place as that moisture is starting to roll on in that will set the stage for our snow that is impending overnight tonight and into early tomorrow morning. Plus, this isnt even the coldest of the cold. As we head into the upcoming weekend, i think kelly drive is going to be even more bear as were likely to spend more than 60 hours with temperatures below freezing and on all the fun katie will have the details on the arctic cold and that impending snow and your full forecast coming up just a few.

Its not like we need snow. But were due for it for sure. Weve only had. 30 of an inch of snow so far here in philadelphia for the season as whole. So little hint of a deficit by this point in the year as we take to our our statistical information to start things off.

Here we go again taking a peek at that storm system its a small disturbance more than anything. I dont even like calling eight storm system as its streaking very quickly across the appalachianings out of kentucky into the virginias right now. It is starting to move in a little earlier than originally anticipated thats why were calling for that 8 00 oclock window of start time you do have another storm system way out west streaking in snow across colorado and kansas and that, too, is going to end up becoming east coast issue but very likely not for us. And when we look at the winter alerts posted around the country, youve got winter storm warnings and Winter Weather advisories posted in that a for mentioned spot here. Meanwhile winter storm watches already posted for that same system out across portions of southeastern southeastern united states. These Winter Weather advisories are for what is currently moving in and again we currently have some now here in our area. They start at 8 00 p. M. Tonight. Now, you saw earlier in the broadcast it looks like theres already snow moving in. But look at these dew points guys the lower they are the drier the air and theyre really low dew points. Thats why youre not going to see any of the snow actually stick just yet. Thats why we need to give it more time for the atmosphere too moisten up. Heres our most up to date eyewitness weather snowfall map. We have tweaked it. Coat to go 2inches still stands for all of the areas shaded in white here including Philadelphia County. But into Central New Jersey maybe even new castle or kent you can see up to 3inches now if we get a little thump through the overnight of that snow. As we had mentioned expecting it to start right around 8 00 oclock at night moving in from west to east over spreading the region through the overnight hours and it will be a light to month rat snow up until two, 3 00 in the morning as we mentioned were going on bright and early dark and early at 4 00 in the morning on Eyewitness News and this is going to be i think long gone even as were looking at maybe even four, 5 00 oclock its sipping right on out of here. That is helpful but keep in mind, youll going to have the aftermath to contend. Still giving you red light for friday morning. Flurries left over out there. But also watch for even icy spots left oh on friday evening. More of a big fat nuisance than anything. But its something well have to deal with. Now, the cold is the other big story.
