12:17 pm
>> okay. katie fehlinger so we have business to take care of. looking into the distance the weekend of course important but some snow too. >> yes. absolutely. seeing snow. another clipper system moving in and these clippers have very specific characteristics this one is going to be two of the typical three. i'll explain as we move forward. but for now lot of clouds, it's cold outside. nothing too harsh. not too much wind thankfully but something you do need to be cognizant if you are partaking in volunteer activities here today or making the regular commute. we'll show you what's happening first on storm scan actually pretty empty right now here locally we do have clouds overhead but that's really it.
12:18 pm
the sunshine real he will at a premium today won't he much of it but with time we'll see this next disturbance move in technically is a clipper system once more it's not your classic. the classics have three characteristics. they move quickly they don't have a lot of moisture and they do reinforce the cold we get the last two. so this is one that's going to hang out nearby. for a little bit of extra time. that's making it tricky when it comes to timing things are start to go come together at this point. let's give a sense how it will shake out. it's really light snow i don't expect much of out of this get to the snow map in a second you see one front lift in here late tonight that could actually touch off a quick flurry or snow shower north. not here in the city. don't be shocked if you see a couple of snowflakes much this ban comes in. and this will likely move in for tuesday night into wednesday morning in the city. but could it come in as early as just the first half of tomorrow in the northwest half of our region so it's kind of a split forecast when it comes to timing it mov northwest to southeast. starts in the northwest half,
12:19 pm
eventually works its way southeast so notveryone ge getting hit at the same time we end up pretty consistent recast for amounts across the board. it just comes in at different times. so let's tal about again in terms of bullet points it will move in tonight but you won't see much precip out of this until tomorrow. especially in the city tuesday night into wednesday. with daytime highs stuck in the 30s it's straight up snow you're not going to see anything but that.-inches is the general idea for most of us. certainly here in philly. you could see as much as 4-inc 4-inches with up near the pocono mountains with all that cold in place. and then a coating to one is the worst you'll have to deal with at the immediate shore points. but again tuesday night into wednesday for philly i think the wednesday morning drive is probably going to be the one that is most impacted by this. unless all of your travels keep you couldn't find into the north and western counties then it's probably more of a midday issue for you tomorrow. outside whitfield elementary
12:20 pm
school here's one of the spot that is will see the snow first. out in berks county this is technically just next door to reading in west lawn pa things are very quiet. i don't think the kids have school in this district here today. meanwhile the rest of the afternoon best we're in the low 30s here so it is cold. later on tonight, other than that straight flurry or snow shower far north just clouds. we'll dip down to 27. so it's almost 10 degrees milder by comparison if you call 27 mild but better than it was early this morning. although you don see much rebound here because once more these clippers reinforce that cold. we're just stuck in the 30s for the next couple of days. again, the snow will linger as late as early wednesday before starting to clear back out. come thursday the sun is back. it's still cold. however, friday we finally crack a seasonal value. 40 degrees the expected high and look at warming trend. 51 never looked so good. and with a big game coming up on sunday there might be rain showers but since we are so far out, i guarantee something will change there stick with us and we'll fine tune the closer we
