great if you are a grown up. we had a great day to day but tomorrow anyone trying this this mess, shovel this mess, as stephanie just told us, it is a mess outside as heavy wet snow blankets area through morning commute hours tomorrow lets go and start off with a look at storm scan three not showing much of thinking. this is a has halving system. precipitation has hade tonight to western pennsylvania, and this will get in overnight. good news about fast moving system is it will get out rapidly as well. it will not be around through tomorrow into tomorrow night, this is a quick hitting system looking like 2:00 a.m. to 1:00 t coming in the middle. that is what we are looking at timing wise with this storm. it is getting its act together with heavy snow blanketing indianapolis area over toward cleveland and heading our way. that will intensify even more once it moves off eastern seaboard and draws moisture from the atlantic ocean. we will throw that back on the coast and convective banding will set up.

banding is a wild car with these systems where you can get intense snowfall rates of up up to 2 inches per hour. that cannulas two or three hours plus. temperatures right thousand still very warm, still pretty amazing. we could be talking about six plus inches of snow, 57 in philly. sixty-one millville. record all over the region but cold is starting to come in and temperatures will crash rapidly it this by the time precipitation begins, lightly at 3:00 a.m., there is a mix with rain down to the south where we are seeing temperatures sub treeing in the lehigh valley, still in the upper 30's in philadelphia but as this storm comes in temperatures will tropical rapidly and snow will start by 5:00ah in the city as temperatures drop in the lower 30's. cold enough for that snow to fall. on the set first couple inches hit the roads piling up on the grass. as this intensifies and as these band set up we will see that snow pile up on the roads and temperatures crashing in the 20's by 8:00 a.m. we will see that change over between eight and 9:00 and

10:00 a.m. it is snowing every where, continuing through about 11:00 and gradually tapering there noon to two there west to east. snow time line, makes it easy to see 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. snow, rain and sleet arrives. heaviest is five to 10ah. between 10 and two we will see that taper there west to east. jackpot zone is where cold air gets in earliest and that is lehigh veil, upper bucks, montgomery county, berks county and northern new jersey eight to 12 inches expect there. philadelphia four to eight. six to seven for city. that sound pretty reasonable. lower down toward the shore points and delaware beach. this is heavy wet snow. clings to tree branches and power lines. while first couple inches hey melt on the road those intense snowfall rates with 2 inches per hour will cause to it pile up on main roads. we may have possibility for thunder snow as we head through tomorrow in the heavier band, it is like when you get a thunderstorm it will

be pouring snow virtually and that means very, very low visibility. once wind pick up in the afternoon wind chills dropping in the teens and single digits and win could lend itself to increased power outages with the weight of the snow on the branches and lines. good news if there is any here we will rebound over weekend. back to above average temperatures and snow should melt quickly. this is good old fashion snowstorm six to 12-inch swath up and down east coast no hat ter where you are headed, it will be a west. >> we're ready. let's do this. >> you know what no matter how are everyone has a budget, big or small. eagles want some honey back. we will tell what you that means. learning how to play without joe joe, sixers have some work to to up next in

>> caller to sister station wip said he want joel embiid to play it this. biggest reason why he was a taking his date. if the big fellow plays and win it can good for him. sorry, bra, it is not happening. sixers at shoot around, embiid sporting a knee brace, and glasses. he will miss his seventh straight game, were four straight loss these who, the sixers need to build chemistry with an ever changing line up. >> you know, we have to go out there and we have to do what we have to to, regardless of who is laying or not. so obviously different line up but, we have to mesh the best way that we can and make that chemistry click with whoever is out there. here's hypothetical for you. you are best employee in your office, but your boss wants you to take a pay cut. the eagles have reportedly asked jason peters to to exactly that. he is 35, but he just made his ninth row bowl, and he counts

11 million against the cap. meanwhile they made no such request of cornerback mc kelvin they just cut him. move save them 3.2 million-dollar heading in the off season. eagles have the fourth least amount of-i to money to spend on free agents. deangelo williams will be the on the opened market, on twitter, eagles fans asked fest would play for the bird, he said no, because they don't commit to the run and they asked carson wentz to do too much. >> okay, so, eagles fans decided to troll deangelo. one guy wrote, hurts to get blown out, um. that is in reference to the steelers 31-point loss to the birds in september. williams didn't miss a beat. speaking of truth, but now that you mentioned getting blown out did you guys, have a great playoff experience? ouch. as you know, the eagles, watched the playoffs like the rest of us from the coach. >> oh, high. >> burn, burn. >> major burn. >> yes. >> thanks, sir.
