Coating, maybe a couple of you with closer to a quarter to a half inch and most road surfaces that were pretreated overnight have done fine. I will tell that you some sidewalks could give you a problem and weve got a concrete terrace out here that has a little bit of air flow beneath it but it is definitely frozen up. I just about did a face planter out here a seconds ago. Be careful under foot and some of those untreated surfaces. Theres another round of snow showers beginning to build up through southern New Castle County Delaware Crossing into salem and Cumberland County. Farther south you can see how its mixing with a little rain and Lancaster County about to pick up some of that as well so there is more snow shower activity on the way. Again the first batch that came through was real light but looks like this next one might be a little bit more robust. You can see the brighter white shades beginning to bloom in washington. 33 in millville so really anywhere from millville up through i95 corridor up through the Lehigh Valley and berks county, if you do get snow showers, you could see some slick spots and in those places where you see the freezing temperatures right now, you may also have some of that icy buildup in places from the previous snow showers. Winter weather advisory in effect until 6 00 a. M. Wednesday. Looks like most of our off and on snow showers will be during the day and tonight a little bit of lingering stuff overnight. And notice how it is a warning out in Lancaster County, Chester County and parts of Delaware County where generally were looking at two to 4 inches of snow. A couple spots in the warning area could go a little higher. We have a coastal Flood Warning times of high tide we could see minor to moderate flooding up and down the bay and the back bays. Todays high 38 degrees. We are getting well above freezing this afternoon. Karen rogers that means any snow showers this afternoon will hopefully only produce wet roads. Well want to be careful whenever its snowing though and then later tonight snow showers and dipping temperatures could be more problematic. Details coming up. In areas where we are below freezing because the roads have been salted and treated, were finding it just melting so its just a little damp right here on the schuylkill expressway. No big problem as we look live in king of prussia. This is the schuylkill at 202. Eastbound traffic headed towards gulph mills with no problems.

Some jersey shore communities are concerned about coastal flooding this morning. Reporter thats right, flooding is a concern as well as the snow later on today. Right now theres no snow yet. Were just seeing light rain here in ocean city. And were not seeing any flooding where we are, either. Were taking a look at west seventh street right now. Its right near the bay and this is an area thats prone to flooding. We are keeping an eye out for it as it gets closer to high tide but right now all seems well here on west seventh street. Lets go to video last night from ocean city where you can see that they had some minor street flooding and it is expected to get worse as the day goes on. There are winter storm and coastal Flood Warnings in effect for areas of new jersey and delaware so people want to be prepared for the rising water levels. High tide is between 7 30 and 8 30 this morning. Waves could get as high as 14 feet. And we could see significant beach erosion. Street flooding is expected to be widespread. So, as always, dont drive through flood water flood water. You never know whats under the flood waters. Use caution in the snow when it comes later. Right now here again were just seeing a light rain but we could get snow later on today. Visibility will deteriorate when the snow is heavier. We could see some heavy wind gusts and you do want to check for School Delays and closings. Theres only a handful right now but we do know schools in Wildwood City School District are already closed today. So, again, were taking a look out for flooding in this area, widespread street flooding expected at the shore today. Were live in ocean city, Katherine Scott channel6 action news. Thanks katherine. With flooding and snow in the forecast keep 6abc. Com weather saved to your favorites on all your devices. Rely on the power of Storm Tracker6 live double scan radar to know when and where the heaviest rain or snow is headed. It is now 6 06. Lets get an update on where things stand with the markets and the economy. Maribel aber is live at the nasdaq if times square and shes starting with stocks. Good morning, maribel. Reporter good morning, tam. Stocks recovered a bit yesterday but still finished lower thanks to a fresh drop in oil and then jitters over the state of the global economy. And overnight in tokyo the nikkei index plunged 5 percent on worries over global growth. As for the u. S. Right now futures are pointing to a lower open. Weve got a report on whole sale inventories due out later today. Gas is getting close to a dollar a gallon in some parts of the country. Gas stations in at least eight states are selling it fortress than 1. 25 a gallon. In Oklahoma City you can find it for 1. 11 a gallon. Texas, missouri and ohio also have low prices according to gas buddy. Com. In philadelphia the low is 1. 72 a gallon. Thats the latest in Business News from here. Back over to you matt and tam. Thanks so much maribel. See you later. So, we are off to a little bit of a snowy start. We had a couple of light snow showers overnight, have your low impact. As you take a look at Storm Tracker6 live double scan right now theres a little bit more coming up from the south and as we go in tighter these may be a little bit more pronounced with in Brighter Shade of white showing up near salem and the top of the delaware bay and out to the west of oxford theres another cell that looks even better than some of the stuff that came through overnight. The overnight snow showers really only dropped about a coating to maybe a quarter inch in much of the region. These may put down a little bit more. If youre driving around this morning up until about 9 oclock in and around the i95 corridor and points north and you see some of this, you really want to slow it down. Even down into the heart of south jersey because its cold enough on the roads where untreated surfaces could start to get slick and start to give you problems. But thats where the action is right now pushing up toward wilmington and you want to slow it down if you encounter snow shower this morning. As we take a look outside, we have the Commodore Barry bridge in chester just above all of that approaching snow. Still dry but on the cold side and a little bit breezy out there, too. Temperature right now in philadelphia is 32 degrees. The freezing mark. Winds have picked up to 12 Miles Per Hour out of the east. Thats giving you a wind chill of 23 degrees. And again some snow showers starting to creep up from the south. Future tracker6 shows that you between now and 9 00 some of those snow showers will probably stay mainly to the south, but again in these areas close to wilmington where we are close to the freezing mark you do want to slow it down. Now as we get into the afternoon, 3 oclock were going to see numbers jump up into the mid to upper 30s across most of the region so yes there could be some more snow showers but all likelihood most of them are going to produce mainly wet roads during the day time period. The problem may become after about 6 oclock or so where those numbers start to dip again, we still have some snow showers wrapping threw up to tho 11 oclock. You plight see freezeup on untreated surfaces. Main roads probably able to lathe this fairly well because each of these snow showers arent individually delivering all that much snow. By the way, the winter storm advisory expires at 6 00 in the morning but our latest model runs show that the snow is over well before that. Tomorrow mornings commute may be a little bit slippery in places where it got slippery early in the overnight hours but not a lot of active snow tomorrow morning for the commute. Expected snow totals about two to 4 inches in the Center Portion of the region, one to two on the outside. Less down at the shore where rain mixes in. There is a concern out in Chester County, Lancaster County and perhaps Delaware County that some areas go a little higher and in fact theres a winter storm warning still in effect in these cases, all of these expire in the overnight hours and theyre done by tomorrow mornings commute. Your day planner. Here are those numbers. 31 degrees still below freezing in philadelphia by 8 oclock. But up above freezing by 10 oclock and during the afternoon snow showers fairly light impact i think with the High Temperature getting well above freezing, 38 is your high at 3 oclock. High temperatures across the region will all get above freezing. 36 in allentown, 36 in trenton this afternoon, 39 in wilmington, and 42 in cape may, new jersey. Your exclusive accuweather 7day, todays high is 38 degrees. We have periods of off and on snow shower activity through the day. Totaling about two to 4 inches by the time it all wraps up late tonight or early in the overnight hours. Then breezy with some flurries in the morning on wednesday but sun returning during the day and back up to 40. Then an arctic boundary starts to come through and we only goat 31 on thursday, brisk with a snow shower. Friday still brisk and cold, a high of just 29 with a snow shower at night.
