degrees in his backward yard, kenneth in willingboro new jersey at 33. now john in pennsylvania at 31 that's one of the first weather watcher numbers i've seen actually below freezing. we take you to very snowy scene. you're looking at our live neighborhood network,, boardwalk plaza in rehoboth. i've been showing this all morning, it payments the picture what a lot of areas will be looking like later on this afternoon, and just so happens that delaware beaches received some of the snowfall first. looking at very snowy boardwalk, you can see, the footprint from people walking on through, i saw couple of people walking through last night, believe it or not, and also this morning. so you can see those footprints right on the board, you have snow covered trash cans, snow covered benches, and also some snow covered sand out there. you can see it now that the sun is starting to rise, and the skies are beginning to brighten just a little bit. storm scan3, shows, change in the trend. earlier this morning, around 3:00, 4:00, completely dry across the philadelphia region the tri-state area. that's starting to change though. notice, things are starting to

fill in. starting to see more white on the map. not all of it is reaching the grounds. but some of it is in some locations, like into portions of northern delaware. likely seeing couple of flakes flying into wilmington, maybe even just east of salem, new jersey, and maybe even near washington, seeing couple of flakes flying again, it is not all falling and reaching the grounds, but this is a sign that the air is getting to saturate. that's what we need to happen, to start to see the snow pushing through the region. here's what's going to happen throughout the day today. i'll show you what i am talking about on future weather. snow will over spread the region from south to north. here we are at lunchtime, see some of the snowflakes flying right here if philadelphia, really as we head into the afternoon, when we see the best potential for the snowfall accumulation, to really take shape. and really unfold. and some spots, picking up couple every inches every snow it will continue into the early evening hours, we won't see that snow tapering off until later tonight, maybe as late as midnight 1:00 a.m., start to see things taper from west to east.

so, our forecast snow map, really hasn't changed too much from last night. the only adjustment i made this morning, was to drop the totals right along our shore point just little bit. due to some mixing that's going to be happening. as some rain mixing in with snowflakes, maybe even some sleet and freezing rain from time to time. that will likely drop the totals. but the jackpot zone still remains, portions of south jersey, where we could see anywhere from four to 6 inches , maybe locally higher amounts, around two to 4 inches, right along the i95 corridor. winter weather alerts are in effect because of that. we have winter storm warnings, that's in place poor portions of south jersey, also, the lower two thirds of delaware, even have winter weather advisories, in effect for the i95 corridor as well as chest, bucks, montgomery counties even delaware county under the advisory, all the way through tonight. temperatures are marginal, so once the snow starts falling, the flakes are likely to be rather big. a lot of water content in those flakes. thirty-six right now in philadelphia, 36 in wilmington , 34 in millville. 31 degrees now in wildwood, 34 .

we are going to stick with the colds all the way through next week. and then look what happens. as we head into the middle of the upcoming week, giant dip in the jet stream, that's going to pull down the season 's so far: and i'll show you in the seven day forecast. for today headed to the army navy game, 33 degrees at kick off. likely see snowflakes flying out there. across the region today looking at 36. periods of snow. as we head into tonight, 28 degrees, as snow tapers off , likely see some slick spots, refreezing will be a possibility. your eyewitness weather seven day forecast, 42 sunday, but it will feel more like the 20 's when you factor in the wind. then all eyes toward wednesday high temperatures in the suburbs only in the 20's, right around 30, in philadelphia. jan? >> chelsey, thank you. a big congratulations is in order at high school team from bucks county, bridges home yet another state championship. archbishop wood, celebrating its fifth class five state crown in the last seven years.
