big issue at high tide tuesday for the morning and late afternoon high tide. here is that snowfall map that we're all waiting for. because i think we will see some sleet mix in along i95, still stuck with six to 12 inches here in philadelphia. and most of the i95 corridor, vicinity, but notice, so much lower after total. go down near the shore points, then looking at at least a foot across northern chester, western montgomery, upper bucks counties, and then all the way up into the lehigh valley. so i can almost guarantee you will see school closings up around this one, allentown, meanwhile we take you forward here, meantime, right now, our temperatures very cold. colds air setting the stage for storm system. twenty-four in philly at this hour, thankfully the winds light, but still very cold outside, look forward in the seven day, we don't really see the whole storm itself pull away completely until late wednesday. they're still lingering snow showers, but i would say the snow at its worse brought to close after lunchtime tomorrow, meisha. so we will have our hands full.
