maybe at an inch an hour. now, we're not looking for a long time of that happening. but if you see it, it can be really a problem on the road, can quickly overwhelm those roads, even when they're treated. then the warmer air starts to move in. this is a look at 6:00 tonight. still some snow through philadelphia, we start to see this mixing coming in, the warmer air coming in, and any rain of course, then tamped down, any snowfall totals that we've seen, so probably be relatively hard one to measure. by 4:00 in the morning we should be transitioning over everybody to rain. but, be so careful. if you are out at those hours in case you're in a area where the temperatures have not done what they're supposed to do, which is rise, and we're still looking at some cold ground. >> this get out 11:00 tomorrow morning, this thing should be completely out of our way done gone. winter storm warning noon to 6:00 a.m. tomorrow philadelphia, in the advisory, along with new jersey, and delaware. generally, one to three here. generally four to six in the areas shaded in the pink. and, you can have a pretty

as you head closer to new jersey, and you pick up the two, two to four, to five, the farther you get away from philadelphia, and to our upper reaches of bucks, montgomery counties, it is possible. so this is the general transition zone, from the heaviest north and west, through philadelphia, to the coating to 2 inches through the areas to the south. this snowfall totals, computer models, weighing in, saying, generally, one to three almost 4 inches, so, it is just almost two to four, generally, but you could be finding the one to three and they're in pretty good agreement with this now. so nobody gets extreme snow, but we get extreme variability, because it is snow and then it is some freezing rain, sleet some rain, you have to be so careful with this kind of a storm. 2:00 this afternoon we're seeing it through allentown reading, lancaster pressing into philadelphia, by the time we hit little later on this afternoon, 4:00, through philadelphia, bursts of snow are possible, with reduced visibility, of about an inch an hour. we start to see the warm up,
