word crippling, that's for sure, jan, but i think a nuisance, that's the kind of verb and that we will be using here in the next day and a half here. so, you know, we already beginning to see some signs of life out in the midwest, central planes area, where some things are starting to show up on the radar, as this storm begins to get its act together. southern missouri, kansas, yes, all ends up being a pretty substantial ice storm for that area. just the way the warmth is meeting up with the cold, and right across that region, where two combine. and it is just the right temperature for them to see quite a bit of icing in this area. this is going to be a system that rolls its way east, heads to us, and hits us, say, about midday tomorrow, with precipitation at the earliest. you are going to get through the morning without any major hitches here. but locally, at the moment, we are actually just in the midst of a transition. cold front crossed through last night. we will see the clouds clear. and skies do the same, obviously, and we will end up with more sun than anything, the breeze will also be picking up. certainly also going to see colder air, make its way in,

so the timing is just right for just wrong, really, when you look at it. because as the colder air nudges in, and the storm gets here, the two just meet up with perfect timing. and as a result of highs only in the 30's, you will get this light wintery mix. just come off really warm days. so even if we do see modest accumulation, primarily untreated surfaces, and also, on the grass, but, we can expect to see maybe coating to an inch out there. and otherwise, maybe a little bit of slickness through the midday on saturday. but this will be more of a nuisance, so be careful, but you won't be shoveling anything away. take a look at future snow amounts, that's definitely telling that story pretty well. at most, again, colt g to inch or so is the expectation. so, not something that i want you to get overly confident about traveling through. but it is not a major system. breezy, cooler though, as the day goes on, in the 50's right now, guys, we level off mid 40's at best through the rest of the afternoon. it will field colder when the factor in the wind, light snow, sleet, come tomorrow. then we start to clear it back

out, and warm back up again next week. meisha? >> in the 50's, before the sun comes up, katie. all right, thank you so much. good morning, everyone, happy friday. looking at the schuylkill right now, this is schuylkill eastbound, near spring garden. you can see, headed toward the city. what you are looking at. yes, good with the flashers on, moving in the westbound eastbound side, looking okay, i would just gave you a heads up, now, pushing in the 5:00 hour. this looks a little -- i don't want to say it looks heavy by any stretch, but little heavier than what we typically see in the 5:00 hour, for a friday. so, for what it is worth for you, just heads up on it, seeing some brake lights go off. this is again pushing in the eastbound direction toward center city. vine closed overnight for that construction now lifted westbound eastbound, looking good, and the levels there are actually looking as they should. had 22, head lights moving in the eastbound direction, this is past oaks, see what it is like being look there, another area looking just as it should, big thumbs-up. moving past the construction pa turnpike eastbound between valley hill road and norristown two, left lanes blocked there, that will start to slow you down more into the
