coast of california. once it moves on shore as i told you yesterday we can start sampling some more rich data and figure out where the storm ising. here are two separate solutions. this is gfs, north american model we look at quite a bit. friday a at 6:00 p.m. it is already snowing here in philadelphia this is a faster solution. heavier snow blanketing i-95 corridor. further are north and faster. this has highest snow amounts for us, could bring rain/snow mix to the south and east along the coast. another model we will look at and usually this time of the year most accurate models is european and watch what this did this afternoon. this is what throws a wrench in to things. net is where bull's eye is over richmond area into north carolina. that means further south, all snow but heavier snow stay off to the south. coming up we will go further in department, what does this mean as far as our forecast is concerned. if one model verifies over the the other. we may be splitting the difference. we will have more details coming up and if you are not

fan of the snow after the storm we could be talking about a warm up for end of january. is there always a light at the end of the tunnel. >> i think they will split difference, i think we do get a major storm. i don't know if it is historic feet have of snow here in philadelphia, may just a typical winter storm but definitely something will happen. just plan for that. >> thanks, kate, a appreciate it. still ahead a possible health danger for some residents looking in a high rise. and then flying with your pets make it more difficult. some airlines are changing their guidelines what you need to know when they come back. >> reporter: doug pederson makes his first impression with the fans but we sit down with someone who knows him way better than most, one of his former teammates will weigh in on what we saw here today at the novacare
