today, for sure. but this is going to be one of those systems that lingers. it won't leave us alone, because it is going to hit a roadblock, not have chance to really move on out. so the brunt is with us, as we speak. pretty obvious, right? heavy rain falling through the garden state, mixing taking place back through the lehigh vale, as well as lancaster, berks county where you may have the slick travel this morning. but, don't, you know, necessarily brush off the fact that you've got just rain, in jersey, because you're getting soaked down that way. so, ponding on roadways, slick travel, gusty winds to reduce your visibility, i mean, you have the whole mixed bag going on out there. >> winter weather advisories taking up central sliver of the delaware valley again where we are beginning to see mixing take place, so you might see few wet snowflakes, little sleet perhaps rain that freezes on contact.
