Now your nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz. The cold air is in and now all we need is precipitation to add up to snow and thats why we have a first alert out for friday for this kind of slushy snow that were expecting. It will be sticking to everything and sticking to the trees and not a lot of wind and it will be beautiful looking to a lot of people and it looks like it will affect the morning and evening rush creating slippery conditions. Weve got a lot of sunshine there now and not a lot of wind but it is cold. 44 degrees and only a 6mileanhour wind out there. As far as the storm is concerned i expect it to be all snow north of the pennsylvania turnpike and especially in the Higher Elevations, youll see the greatest amounts. Snow generally changing to rain in the afternoon across this area right in the philadelphia North Delaware and much of south jersey and mainly rain farther to the south. So thats the broad picture of it. Right now we have temperatures in the 40s, but the humidity is very low and tonight temperatures drop into the 30s and by tomorrow morning when the precipitation is in, it could be enough to start sticking on untreated surfaces. A lot of it has been going straight to the east during the day today, but its just now starting to make its turn up in our direction. Once again, there is a lot of moisture in this thing.

It may have an issue there with this slushy snow thats going to start and it will get heavier as we head toward the midday hour across a good bit of the area and that will change to rain during the afternoon and then well watch what happens in the evening and could end in rain with the philly northern suburbs. As we go into friday this computer model again is too slow with this. Very often the snow comes in faster than the computer models say, but look at the darker blues indicating a little bit heavier snow that certainly peaks in the early afternoon and by the afternoon rush this computer model still is snowing in philadelphia and may be at its peak there, but we think if its going to change to rain it will be happening at that time late in the afternoon. Three to six inches north of the pennsylvania turnpike all of the way up to the poconos. Two to four inches from wilmington, up through philly and trenton, Burlington County and all of the counties in new jersey bordering the Delaware River and also kent county in delaware. Portions of kent county and much less to the south. Clouding up with a chance of snow by 6 00 a. M. In some parts of the area and the temperatures down about 30 and in philadelphia, 25 in the suburbs, snow changing to rain late in the day for at least parts of
