after. we do expect a lot more information coming from bensalem police later this morning. we are reporting live from the bensalem police department, jan carabao for cbs-3 "eyewitness news". right now 4:33. lets get back to katie and we can hear about the forecast. >> lets start off with the here and new is too what is happening with storm scan three. it is generally quiet across most of the board. this is what i was worried about yesterday. the these systems, they are tricky guys especially ones that develop right at the very last second. that is what happened here. it wasn't until yesterday evening that we had much to track on radar. now we do. this one, oops there it was it popped out of the no where and now creeping just far enough north to affect some of our viewing area. so notice, these are outer band really. any precipitation we find will be generally light, you have to go down in the southern most del marva before we are looking at significant precipitation but this is all sort of the rotating through our southern most counties and
4:34 am
until 1:00 o'clock today, cape may, kent, sussex this dell will wear and a few of them in maryland, better part of the state in the winter weather advisory as a result. we are looking at a wintry mix of some rain sleet, snow and possibility of slick travel. how much are we talking? not a lot. enough to slow you down. this is absolutely a a nuisance is tell for us, not a major storm. but if your travels take you down the shore many of the shore points and across salem, cumberland, southern counties, you will even up with that possibility of slick travel. further are north maybe a flurry around in philadelphia but as we stand temperatures are cold enough that any presip that does fall will come down as snow at least initially but we will be hovering around freezing in the hours ahead. that means we will have potential mixing taking place. watch for slick travel here. thinks a half and half forecast. what we are looking at is for philadelphia you can see a flurry around. further north you will just have clouds and a little
4:35 am
sunshine but further south you go it is a whole different ballgame, variety the tore use. >> thanks, katie. good morning. the a as we wait on that precipitation, maybe, we will be in the clear on the roads. we are not dealing with any major problems. the as katie said you could find potential slick spots on your commute. not only on the majors but throughout the neighborhood. just be careful out there looking at ben franklin bridge there are in delays in either direction. all bridges are moving extremely well this morning. it is only 4:30 in the morning. we are in the dealing with too many delays at this time. we are still waiting to are that rush hour commute. but every where still in the clear. 476 is another great picture of barely anyone out there, traveling. if you are traveling around mid county toll plaza traveling around schuylkill, i-95, speed sensors are moving very well. i would imagine so if in these areas why we are seeing slower speed then we would see in the 50, 55 miles an hour is because folks are taking it easy a as they should but

4:43 am
in the forecast. you have to account for the poconos verse city verse south of that down the shore and that is one of the days where we have a split difference depending where you are. >> lets get to it. >> exactly. would i say basically further south you are more likely you will see precipitation today. when it does come through it will be a mix of some sleet some snow some rain, could see a all of those represented by all three colors available here on storm scan three. so depending on the temperature profile it could be any of those three things a mix of those three things and as we go throughout the day it will lead to some slick travel. it would appear it is making a beeline for rest of the delaware valley but because it is rotate ago way you won't to have worry about any snow or presip further north you go, lehigh valley fine poconos in the clear, philadelphia i think at worst we're talking a flurry maybe a snow shower but even that it would have to get going for that and we don't think it is going to.
4:44 am
how much snow are we talking here. you have to go far south to find any and even there coating to an inch max. that is where we have winter weather advisory posted cape may, kent, sussex counties out over delaware states and points to the south and west of that. temperatures as they stand are on the chilly side. cold enough to produce snow but it is relatively light in terms of moisture content because we are on the outskirts. while there will be rain in philadelphia, you might see a flurry otherwise cloudy and cold. high hits 32. clearing skies for everyone tonight. that system will move out to sea and then it the is done. we will clear out nicely. to 22 degrees for the low. we will look forward to the forecast. we have been promising this nice warming trend. 40 degrees seems so warm to us at this point. that is what we will see by saturday. saturday is a a nice day. by sunday even milder but, of course, is there a trade off. here it is chance for some
