So rain is in the process of changing over to wet snow. It is wet, slushy snow, expect some slick roadways as bob kelly has been telling u. S. Specially on bridges, where that cold air, gets under neat the bridge and can freeze the the bridge surface, reduce visibility, could slow you down as well. So the earlier you can leave the better, on a kay like today. Here it is, it is i a storm that is hugging the coast and because colder temperatures are rolling in precipitation changing from rain to snow, and then it looks like that change is almost complete in our viewing area as you can see over last hour the rain in Atlantic City changing over to wet snow but may change back a little bit with the temperature close to freezing but some of them at least at the surface air above freezing. Lighter snow to the north and west of us, heavier snow along the coast where the it is closer to the storm and that is what we expect the rest of the morning as we see this area of purple and blue is more intense in Atlantic City, cape may and delaware beaches as well, throughout the rest of the morning as we get hour by hour we will see that it is still with us but heavier snow is falling east of philadelphia arc we will probably get that slushy coat to go an inch or so in the metro area but higher accumulations pretty quickly through 11 or 12 00 oclock is when the storm leaves the shore. Probably by 10 00 oclock it is gone here in philadelphia a. So, snowfall totals three to 4 d accumulation mostly on the grassy surfaces, the Atlantic City, sea isle city, cape may, one to 2 inches in the philadelphia area it haze quick. The it is gone by 10 00 a. M. 356789 degrees in philadelphia most of the temperatures just above freezing. The wind, because of the visibility, reduced, wind are out of the north and wind are gusting up to 22 miles an hour in places like millville, new jersey.

That change over is happening, during our morning rush hour here. All right another accident north of the freeway, coming in toward philadelphia, right here near black horse pike. You can see snow coming from the sky as we see here 202 at horsham road up in bucks county, but roads are still wet but that will all change as those temperatures continue to drop and 95 in the Construction Zone is tough, tough to see those lane markers here, we even have salt crews out here as well, penndot, new jersey dot, dell dot they have put down the brine yesterday, layer of salt this morning.
