Not a lot of snow, but it has been a steady light snow overnight. Lee high valley, 32 degrees. 32 in the suburbs. Philadelphia, south jersey, temperatures above freezing. Were starting to see the rain that had fallen overnight change into snow. Important because the warmer that ground is, the less likely were going to see accumulation. And not really expecting a lot in south jersey. Its the timing of this system for the morning commute thats a problem more than anything. The atmosphere is cooling down that colder air is making some steady progress moving into the area. So its starting to show on the radar that its starting to change over from rain to snow. Its already happening in philadelphia, too. Were still getting some rain drops mixed in. But its steady light snow into the suburbs and lee high valley. Nothing heavy about this snowfall. And its not going to be heavy during the day. It will be coming to an end during the day. A look at the progress itll make this morning and when itll finally move out. Meteorologist crystal fly has been standing by with an update. The totals arent going to be impressively high. Lets take a live camera view outside. And this is where they will hunt all of the snow. Its all about the fluffy flakes falling onto the mountain side. And those areas actually starting to see reports between 3 to 5 inches of snow near parts of the poconos. But further south the amounts are going to be lower because temperatures are a little too warm yesterday afternoon. We go through 6 00 a. M. This morning and snow north and west. That change still occurring over south jersey and delaware. But 8 00 a. M. We are looking at a light snow thats falling through the i95 corridor right in the middle of our morning commute. Even if its only an inch that could lead to some slick roadways. By 1 30 this afternoon everything starting to dry up. Well stay around freezing but the evening commute should be okay. Lets talk more about that commute, crystal. Both directions maybe look a little wet. Not a lot of cars out the door there, either. I want today show you that anyway just to show yesterday afternoon they started salting operations on the roads here, too. So thats a good thing. The rest of the new jersey roads arent doing too bad.

This is not much of a view this morning, but much more impressive than the light snow we started with yesterday. This is wilmington mean tile, rain overnight. Now reporting snow, but you can see by this picture that is some really light snow. Its allentown that has some nice accumulation. Its still snowing in the lee high valley and many of the suburbs. Lancaster, 39 degrees. 32 degrees in allentown. Even though theres snow falling in wilmington, not seeing accumulation. And above freezing still in northeast philadelphia. 3 00 in the morning that was 36 degrees. Last hour it was 35, and now its 34. So slowly getting colder. That cold air is going to slowly sweep across jersey and delaware, too. Even those spots seeing rain will wind up with some snow. Will it stick in these areas, probably not. Farther inland, yes. It shouldnt be too bad in philadelphia. More likely the suburb and the lee high valley, thats where youre going to see the slippery conditions because of steadier snowfall overnight. And there is snow on the ground. You might have to dust off your car or your walk before it melts. I dont expect a lot of melting today. Thats coming over the next few days. Theres the tail end to the west. Its a slow moving system. It was slow to start with. It will be gone this afternoon. What we will feel this afternoon, our cold winds blowing, 13 mile an hour winds in allentown and philadelphia and millville, too. Thats the cold air thats going to sweep into the area thats going to limit any warmup we get. Late in the afternoon this is when were more likely to get some breaks of sunshine. Well peak at 32 and dip down into the 20s. So whats on it ground still later this afternoon will be freezing tonight. And were on our way to a very cold night tonight. But tomorrow starts a warming trend. Not a big warmup. 38 degrees in the afternoon, 40s on friday. And look at the weekend. Friday, saturday, and even monday well be in the 50s, which means were in great shape for the eagles game. Dry and fair weather, those a few more clouds around in the Fourth Quarter at 46 degrees. Ten day on ten. Show you how long that warmup will last. This is certainly not the type of morning you want to do any type of rushing when youre on the roads. Go easy and go slow even for your departure. Even if you might not seeing any accumulating snow and saying ill take my time and rush around, this is what happens, theres a few accidents already and overturned vehicles. 295 off bound ramp, again an off bound or on bound ramp, typically are we accidents. Not moving towards delaware or moving toward central injuresarjersey. Its just the ramp partially blocked. These are our cameras around cottman avenue. You look up here and that looks like a little bit of snow. But when it gets to the ground, the ground is a little bit warmer so a lot of its going to melt anyway.
