Still rain but i wanted to show you poconos where if you look closely do you you see flakes flying out there, you can tell there is mixing taking place and if i step on this side of the camera there is light dusting that started to accumulate over the course of the last 20 minutes or so. So, it is a sign of things to come, further south you reside and not just poconos but basically the entire southeastern portion of pennsylvania, all of the northern half of new jersey, were looking at some snow. Lets get to it. Storm scan three we will see pretty colors we have available out there, red, orange, greens, all indicating rain but then pinks and purple showing up through the spine of the appalachian. Even though it is hard to detect we have it looking closely at williamsport some mixing that is starting to take place. Nice wide zoom shows we have more of this storm to get through. As storm rides up basically, a stalled frontal boundary not only intensifying and gathering strength and moisture but it is also going to be gathering and generating its own cold air. That is why we are expecting change over from rain to snow. Currently in most spots say for poconos as we just showed you it is too warm for anything but chilly rain, you will see these temperatures decline. In fact we were at 50 degrees when we went on the air at 4 00 a. M. On cbs3. Temperatures have already seen a deficit of 7 degrees now in just a matter of hours. Core of the cold, backup towards say, you know, nashville, columbus region. That will join forces with this storm system and that will help us get that snow. Lets walk you through northeast traveling future weather with the mobil weather lab here and all of your different major highways. Once that change over happens it is like a switch get flip. We will see that rain turn over to snow, heavy slushy wet variety that makes it just sloppy outside. Meanwhile as we go to the southeastern half of the region thinks primarily a heavy rain maker. But that will will slow you down too. We know that very well. Heavier snow looks to be mainly through the midday hearst before you we will still have on snow, even into tonight but storm will quickly, retreat, and as it does so, we will have a about half foot to contend with here back through Lehigh Valley and as far south as up are bucks, Chester County, poconos dot best, in philadelphia we are talking a slushy 2 inches or so because we are starting off with the rain. It will really fall to accumulate much more than that. Outwards in the forecast it looks like it is so much more quieter but we have to get through today with so many people outside on the roads trying to fly and take the train. We want to continue our team three weather coverage with meteorologist Carol Erickson live with the cbs3 mobil weather lab, good morning, carol. We have left the airport and now at other travel hub and that is around 30th street station. I want to show you to see what you will encounter picking up someone or taking yourself to the train station, and heading to other parts. Amtrak at this point is not reporting any delays whatsoever and it is not a problem at all, getting into the 30th street station area. You can see we are taking a loop in and find out exactly what is going on but you can generally expect, let me show you a graphic. This is day of travel on the rails, wet rails, and depending on where you go if you go up and down i95 corridor or where ever the train tracks take you on that northeast corridor you will fine these wet roads and some cases youll find some snow depending on what time of the daze youre leaving. On the roads Poor Visibility is already the sunnies up but you can hardly tell, very glummy looking out here and rain on the roads, slick travel there and also suspect ponding because we could be finding heavier amounts. On the airplanes, well, it doesnt look bad, runways at this point are just wet. There was a flight, that came in from the tampa area, or left from the tampa area supposed to leave at 7 05 and it is long gone up in the air. They are really husseling outside the airport trying to get these planes out and keep to the minimum any kind of travel delays that anybody may encounter and they have the opportunity now. This is window of opportunity, not just for us here at the train station where we are find ago lieutenant of cars park but also at the airport and on the roads as people make their way out this morning and finding not a problem at all. Our temperatures mobile weather lab 43 degrees. Anything that is falling not undercover or you the inside it will be coming down in the form of rain but katie is noticing we are seeing that change of as colder air gets in here. Not a problem, so far this morning which is good and if you have early travel plans that would probably be a very great move and if you had to have move your plans to make them early, i think youll be glad did you because later on it will be getting more. But right new not a problem around 30th street. We will head out to the schuylkill to feigned out how those roads are because many people stay in the area so not a bad start, not a great finish to this unless you you go much later on in the day, lets check on the roads right now with vittoria. Thanks very much, carol. Traveling on the schuylkill expressway i know that is where carol is heading right now. It will be Bad News Bears once you get there. Seventysix is just swarmed with traffic. We will talk about that in a second. Let talk about i95 in Delaware County in the northbound direction approaching 322. We are starting to see those brake light being hit. That is not the only spot on i95 where youll fine traffic. Southbound i95 out of the northeast down through the vine swarmed with volume. Heres the schuylkill expressway. If carol is jumping on the schuylkill, maybe you are heading down from the airport to the platt bridge and then jump on 76, you will run into this but this is coming from 30th street she will jump on the vine or do maneuver to get on the eastbound side of the schuylkill anyhow it will look like this in short that is what i was trying to say the whole time. Head bound direction in university approaching the vine you are jam. Then continues to be slow making your way throughout western suburbs at 22 miles an hour. Thirteen is your average on 95. Thirtyseven on the blue route. Traveling from the pennsylvania turnpike 422 eastbound is a bit slow as you make your way out of the trooper.
