All snow to eventually mix of sleet and freezing rain. In fact as we head to the south, the blue is all sleet and freezing rain and millville smyrna now approaching glassboro and hammonton all rain at the coast in southern parts of new jersey and this will continue to inch from the south to the north as we go through the evening hours. Youll see a coating to 2inches more especially north and west of philadelphia where we still have that snow going on. Very slick on untreated surfaces where you have that transition period of sleet and freezing rain and it changes eventually over to rain a little bit later on tonight. In fact, the area of concern when were talking about a period of icing here this evening of that sleet and especially freezing rain is really north of the pennsylvania turnpike, most of northern Chester County, Montgomery County, bucks county into the Lehigh Valley poconos berks county and Lancaster County where we pick up between a tenth and 210ths of an inch of ice before it goes over to rain and meteorologist cecily tynan were watching those temperatures really rise in the south and by tomorrow morning it is warm everywhere. Thats right. Hard to believe when we only hit a high of 20 yesterday, right now you can see that this storm system is pulling to the west is going to be pulling in the warmer air off the ocean. The Atlantic City airport this is why its raining there, its 35 degrees, wildwood 31, philadelphia though 26, allentown 21 and reading 21 and the poconos only 15 drones the atmosphere works from the top down so thats why the warmer air will gradually be moving to the surface and thats why well get the sleet and freezing rain before that changeover all to rain but this is pretty unbelievable. Look at this rapid temperature rise overnight. Typically overnight temperatures really drop off very quickly but by 10 oclock, up to 35 degrees, up from 30 at 7 oclock and temperatures will continue to rise in the overnight hours so in a 12hour period were looking at temperatures up 15 degrees when typically they do the opposite overnight. So these are the key times, the changeover to rain, this will happen very gradually so central delaware southern new jersey, its happening now and it wont be complete until about 7 oclock so you really do want to be careful driving. The i95 metro area including philadelphia that changeover will happen after sunset between about 7 00 and 10 oclock tonight. The northwest suburbs this is where we could see more of that extended period of icing that changeover between 10 oclock tonight and 1 oclock tomorrow morning and then future tracker showing the next part of this system will be a cold front and this will bring a band of some heavy rain in through our region perhaps even some thunderstorms and also pull in some very warm air so this is what to expect tomorrow. Were talking rain, not snow showers a quick half inch to an inch of rain between about 10 oclock in the western suburbs and 4 oclock the east coast up across the shore points. Were talking about two hours of rain, the problem though, the ground is frozen, theres going to be a lot of runoff that could cause localized flooding and some small street flooding but temperatures are going to be off to the races. Adam will talk about that in the full accuweather forecast. Sharrie. Cecily thank you. As the storm moved in from the south, people in delaware saw it first this morning and theyve been dealing with the effects all day. Vernon odom continues our Team Coverage tonight. He is live in fairfax. Vernon. Reporter good evening, sharrie. For most of this day there have been no major problems reported in the delaware and the in the state of delaware. The residents were ready and so, too, were state officials.

The snow blowin blowing into dee 11 00 a. M. It came from the south. Motorists headed north said it was tough going headed towards the masondixon line. Theyre not plowing the snow in virginia. Theyre not plowing the snow. Luckily we know how to drive. Reporter as the day wore on and the snow made side streets a lip slippery delaware and took it in stride. A High School Basketball coach held his practice session on this cool holiday and came home. We had practice this morning. We got it out of the way and here we are looks like got some work to do at the house now. Reporter shoveling . Yes. Reporter going to rain this afternoon this evening and wash it all away. It is. This weather has just been crazy. Because deldot treated the roads with brine before dawn the main roads never got slushy. Allowing a lot of folks to get to work and do their food shopping without a hassle. Doesnt seem to be bad. Its any other slipping. Reporter supposed to rain later today and wash it all away. I work tomorrow and hope to have the sunshine out here and dry ground. Reporter indeed we all hope so mr. Oconnor. Along 202 as you can see traffic is moving along here at a pretty good clip. State officials have not designated any major roads impassable throughout this day but they are urging caution as you travel anywhere across the first state tonight. Live in fairfax, delaware, im vernon odom, channel6 action news. Vernon thanks very much. He just mentioned that conditions on the roads behind him. Lets give you another look, mobile6 driving right now through south philadelphia. This is the scene on ninth street heading north to the italian market where they welcomed this kind of weather, a bit of an outdoor refrigerator for all that delicious food. As you can see snow piling up on the roads there and it is a mess to navigate those small streets of south philadelphia today. Penndot crews have been working all day to make sure roads are clear. The wing treatment means you could have to deal with slush as you head out this evening. Walter perez continues our Team Coverage live in montgomeryville this afternoon where it is snowing at a pretty good clip, was there. Reporter thats right, brian. Live look at bethlehem pike, near the five points in montgomeryville. It has been snowing steadily over the past four hours or so much you can see some slush but nothing plowable. Officials say the tricky part for them is going to be when this snow develops into that freezing rain. Roads across our region remain passable for most part but slick conditions are developing despite the fact that penndot crews did a thorough job brining the roads over the past 24 hours. And penndot Officials Say dont be fooled by the fact that temperatures are expected to rise above freezing later this evening. Our pavement temperatures are very cold due to the frigid weather we have. So, they can still continue to ice after the temperatures have risen above freezing. Reporter still the fact that the snow is arriving before the rain is working in penndots favor. That allows the salt to begin working before the rainwashes it away. Lower Traffic Volume due to the holiday is also a plus. Be aware that if youre out and about this evening penndot has temporarily reduced the speed limit to 45 Miles Per Hour on a number of highways. And that order remains in effect through the evening rush as the snow is expected to turn into a freezing rain. Changing conditions will present a challenge because it will be slippery and then bridges, overpasses, elevated ramps will tend to freeze quicker than the roadway when the freezing rain starts. Reporter we spoke with a bunch of local commuter whose say its all just one more reason why this winter really needs to end. Im done. It hasnt been that bad but im ready for warm weather. What can i say . Im ready for spring. I think we all are.

We turn to matt pelman in the action news traffic center. Youve got the story from there, hey, matt. You think i would have bad news for you on an afternoon like this . Youre absolutely right. Were thanking those president s that the volume is a little bit lighter than normal because the people that are out and about this afternoon brian and sharrie theyre having a tough enough time as it is without a whole bunch more people on the roadways. This is 202 the southbound lanes. You can see an accident taking out the two left lanes. Just the right lane squeezing by very slowly. Youre seeing delays coming down 202 because of this accident near chesterbrook and as you can see the snow continues to fall t lets see if it continues to fall, yes, it does, here in northeast philadelphia along 95. You can see some of the blacktop but you can also see theres definitely slush on the roadway meaning it is slippery and thats why weve seen a number of accidents. Little bit of southbound volume passing cottman entering the work zone headed towards s had a crash on the ramp from the walt whitman bridge to the northbound side of 95. Would have been right about up there. Looks like it may be cleared out. Good thing about accidents in weather like this, theyre often minor in nature so they can clear pretty quickly but weve seen a bunch of them this afternoon. In center city this is the vine street expressway stacking up headed toward 95 so whereas normally on a holiday like this we might not see the typical afternoon delays because people have to go so slowly this afternoon because of the wet and slippery conditions, we are seeing some of those delays. This is the blue route 476 in delco. A southbound accident approaching the route one media bypass. Just got it pushed off to the side. Youre seeing plenty of slowing as you come down from villanova.

Yes, kind of a transition period from that deep freeze we had over the weekend to near 60 degrees that comes in tomorrow. So as you introduce that warmer air over that arctic air you got to ring out some precipitation. You can see it is in every single form on double scan live radar from the white to the north when is some of that light snow that continues to fall, the blue is sleet and freezing rain and then the green is rain. As we close in on double scan live a little closer you can see a large area of blue, so this is where were seeing those sleet pellets, the pellets you hear kind of pinging off of the window and bouncing on the ground from salem middletown smyrna to hammonton. Its raining out and temperatures on the ground still below freezing and it freezes on contact. That is the worst type of winter precipitation you can have and it is all rain in southern areas and this will continue to lift to the north. Now we can switch double scan live radar into a different mode called the correlation coefficient mode. Our radar has two scans, one in the vertical, one in the horizontal. Both radars is indicate where did you go its seeing similar particles. Where youre seeing the smooth nature where the purples are it is one constant color, thats snowflakes. Thats the isis the radar is picking up in the atmosphere. South that of area you can see these colors, its kind of confusion the radar saying theres many different particles in the atmosphere, whats going on . Well, thats that mixing of some of the ice crystals and the water in there atmosphere and thats where youre seeing the mixing. In fact lets flip back to the radar mode and you can see north of 70 which is where were dealing with the white and that snow and that continues to lift off to the north and there you see that mixing line approaching from the south and the east.
