What about that accu Weather Forecast and please dont say that we will have a big storm on the weekend. If you are waiting for a mega block buster storm. Im not. I dont see that happening but this could be more significant storm than todays system. It looks like a developing noreaster. Tonight thinks the calm between the storm. Storm tracker six live, showing the the snow has moved out, we received anywhere from a coat to go 3 inches of snow. Really higher amounts all across new jersey and delaware, as expected. Bridgeton reporting 3. 3, seaville 3 inches, Estelle Manor, 2. 9, smyrna delaware 2. 7 and manahawkin in ocean county reporting two and a half inches of snow. Philadelphia officially half inch of snow this was more of aeneas nuisance event. Problem tonight is falling temperatures. Philadelphia 31. Millville 30. Trenton 28. Wilmington 30 degrees. Then we have the little bit more moisture on the way. We have low pressure out of here. Little bit of the upper level feature with this storm has some light precipitation across western pennsylvania pennsylvania. So this could bring us a little bit more moisture in the form of freezing drizzle. We have Winter Weather advisory in effect until 8 00 oclock tomorrow morning.

So the exclusive accu weather seven day forecast cloud, sunshine not a bright sunny day. 42 degrees. Friday loads of sunshine with a high of 40. On saturday we will be dealing with that noreaster. Will it bring accumulating snow or mixture of snow, sleet and rain. I wouldnt be surprised if we see a mixture accredits our region. We will get a break in the action sunday, more snow showers with a clip on monday and then temperatures cool down by wednesday, high only 28 degrees. We are in a pattern where we have a possibility of snow every two to three days and of course tomorrow morning we will want to watch david murphy on action news with possibility of that icing.
