minute. >> but first lets get the the latest forecast from katie good morning. >> that is exactly right. it appears to see that we will be seeing flakes out there but it is more of a big old nuisance then anything. the as we start off by getting out to storm scan 3a tighter zoom to show you our area more localized. it is very obvious where you'll fine the snow, northwestern tear of our region northwestern berks, lancaster county a and lehigh northampton counties and mount pocono. if you are traveling and up that northeast extension you will start to see those flakes flying with time here but this is a a system that moves from northwest to south east. even though we may end up with a, a little bit too light of an accumulation or moisture source through southern tear of the area and too much mild air believe it or in the for that snow to have a chance to stick, we are all going to see the cold air take over here and further north you go yeah, this is going to be something that slows you down here as typical morning drive

happening here through next few hours. the it will feature that light snow. in philadelphia though, if you see a snow shower i'm not surprised by that at most we would be talking about a coating to this point. 36 degrees further north it is cold enough to support the the snow, sticking and accumulating but we have had a chance to warm up nice yesterday at least for standard. what that means is milder air at the on set you will not necessarily i have chance to see quite as much snow stick. throughout the course of the day look at what happens here. normally we will see temperatures climb. it is not happening today. cold air rushes in the wake of this front and with that the wind is going to crank. vittoria, that end up being the bigger legacy and turning really cold behind this snow. >> wind freaks me out, especially trying out and about because some people don't think it can be a factor on the road but it can. that is you why want to make sure you are aware of your surroundings and take it easy, regardless. the lets get outside as we take a look at a the vine street expressway n delays in

either direction. everything very calm, serene still this morning. no delays everybody just moving just fine whether you are heading in the eastbound direction towards 95 as these folks are or westbound toward the schuylkill expressway it looks beautiful out there. so yeah isn't that nice. isn't that nice to start off on a good note like shake it out, right. moving on to 476 right around route one again very calm serene barely anyone out there. breeze in either direction. for the the most party would say all over, speed sensors are high up in the 50's, it is pennsylvania, new jersey and traveling in delaware we have good news. we have some construction zones in new jersey. route 168, between nicholson and collins avenue, one or two lanes will be block until 6:00 a.m. be mine full of that. pennsylvania pennsylvania turnpike eastbound a approaching bensalem right lane blocked as a result of construction. we have a down tree accident situation traveling williamson road which is closed between dove lake and youngs ford, all
