the benches are covered, the trash cans are covered, even the sand covered with a fresh coating of that white stuff. we're dry for now, on storm scan3, right here, in philadelphia. that is going to be changing. literally within a matter of hours. you're going to see that snow over spreading the region, from south to north today, the steadiest snowfall occurring this afternoon, and that's when i think we will see the best chance for that accumulation to begin occurring. and be ongoing. this evening, and tonight, the snow will be tapering off from west to east. so let me show you what i am talking about here on future weather. look how the snow over spreads the region, really from south to north. here we are at 10:00 a.m. starting to see that snow falling back down, toward some of our shore point, then as it crosses the entire region from the shore to the poconos, by lunchtime. in the, though, this pink strand, this is some mixing that's occurring right along the coastline, so for that reason bump the totals down from the shore points two to 4 e rain mixing in from time to

time, maybe even some sleet, and freezing rain, that's something we have to keep close eye on, regardless, dealing with some steady snow from time to time throughout the afternoon and even into the early evening hours, across much of the region, and really the entire region throughout the day today. now, as we head into tonight, that's when we start to see things tapering off. notice it tapers off from west to east. maybe a lingering snow shower around by 11:00 tonight. but i think by midnight much of the area will ends up being completely dry. as far as how much snow you can expect, in your neighborhood, well, right along the i95 corridor, we're thinking anywhere from two, 4 inches every snowfall, as real solid possibility, the jackpot zone however, always has been, since we were tracking this system, well, that's portions every south jersey, where we see anywhere from four to 6 inches, maybe even locally higher apartments , certainly not out of the question. but, right along those shore points, see the lighter blue shades, that's the main change i made this morning, and that's where some of that mixing could cut down on those totals a little bit.

keeping an eye on that, as well. we have winter weather alerts in place, winter storm warnings south and east of i95 , and south jersey, they're in place through tonight, winter weather advisory in place along the i59 corridor, also into chester, montgomery, bucks counties in delco, that's through tonight, as well. temperatures are in the 30's, 36 degrees in philadelphia, 33 millville, 34 degrees in atlantic city. however, dew point are keeping really dry. so have to get the air to saturate before you start to see the snowflakes falling to the ground. that's going to happen throughout the day today. we continue with this cold, throughout the week, and then as we head into the middle of the upcoming week, the bottom just falls out. that's due to a very big dip in the jet stream, that's going to be arriving by the middle of the week, just look at the arctic air that will plunge down into our neighborhood. temperatures only in the 20's for some, right around 30 degrees, in philadelphia. periods of snow throughout the day today. high temperature right around 36 degrees. for those numbers to fall just little bit headed into the
