cold enough itly straight up snow at least initially before the temperatures have chance to rise. not talking about much accumulation out of this, one to 3 inches for the poconos, for the rest every us, i don't think it accumulates much, will certainly not much if any at all. twenty-seven the current temperature at the airport right now. eventually going to reach to about 41 degrees or so, and that's generally when the precipitation is set to arrive here. so as a result, calling for rain or snow shower, but again, very minimal, if any accumulation expected out of that. down the shore, mainly dry. might see renegade shower of rain or even snow there, too, but if you are looking for any accumulation, all be it very light, do you have head north, folks. periods of light snow in the poconos today. meisha. >> katie, thank you for that. and good morning, everyone, looking at the ben franklin bridge. looking good, push in the westbound direction toward center city, still dark out, still early, just now cracking into the 5:00 hour. this is when we start to see just very subtle changes, and that's if we have dry roadways, right now for the most part, most part, we do,
