there on the nuisance scale. >> would i give it a three, it is a press low key storm but problem is with the timing. we are looking probably i put over/under in philadelphia at 1 inch which we have been through an inch or two were. but when you leave your house trying to get to work, kid to school and snow is just not fun. it is definitely a nuisance out there tomorrow morning. that is when war will hit. when you wake up tomorrow morning you will wake up to coating of fresh snow on the ground and depending where you are it could be more than. that lets look at is what happening right now up in the pocono, up in jack frost big boulder people outside on the slope, may not even need snow makers here tonight and some itn courtesy of mother nature, you cannot see it, coming down lightly, on and off light to moderate all day, intermittent light snow and will continue through tonight and tomorrow morning, a winter storm warning, is still in effect, in the pocono region. lets check on our eyewitness weather watchers.

they are tracking conditions all across the area we will start off with a look at temperatures right now across the region. you can see temperatures not that bad. close to normal even above average today in a few spots. at jeff's house in hatfield it is 38. jerry's 39. eileen in gilbertsville a chilly 34 but in the 40's in levittown at bill's house. landingberg gary at 37. david mitchell in norristown at 39 degrees. so not actually all that bad. but lynn sent thus progression of the photos showing how day started off with a good deal of sunshine outside, and then cloud filtered in and by the time sun prepared to set you can see it is overcast sky out there the cloud starting to proliferate as this system approached, and bill sent this shot of the beautiful sunset but again a lot of cud cover in place, and that is all we saw around the city and suburbs today, didn't see much in the way of snow except for a dusting in a few spots, early this morning but seeing a little bit more than that in our far north and western zones. lets check with bernville counts

time lapse starting at 7:00 o'clock this morning. you can watch as the snow comes down lightly intermittently on and off all day long, just some cloud and then another round of light snow and then some cloud and another round have light snow and sun has set and currently 38 degrees, the snow is still falling so coming in fits and starts lightly but when we talk about snow flurries, better part of the 24 hours even fit is intermittent it will pile up a bit. storm scan three shows how this front extends down into portions of the deep south a very rare snow day for folks in south texas, southern louisiana as well and that is moving through tennessee, north caroline, down toward atlanta this evening, and they are more strangers to this kind of weather then we are, i don't think we will have much in the way of snow day possible, possibly some delays , depending when snow comes through and how quickly it clears out. you can see snow falling across the lehigh valley, falling likely in the poconos. steadier snow is on the way.

winter alerts followed this all the way through the eastern half of country and that purple being the weather advisory, pink winter storm warning and it is northwestern half of the viewing area that is under advisories and warning tonight. warnings only for poconos. so here's what to expect at 9:00 tonight, snow still lingering to the north and west. by 1:00 o'clock it starts to permeate southward and could start as a mix and then we will see snow at 50 that will continue seven or 8:00 before it moves off the coast by 11:00 a.m. and cloud giving way to sunshine in the afternoon. quick hitting system what to expect after 10:00 o'clock that is when snow spread south e, steady is early tomorrow morning in the city, and moves off shore. light snow. concerns are with the timing. even it is only a inch in philadelphia which is looking likely it will hit just as first part of that morning commute, a brief coat to go as much as an inch down the shore and three to six in the northern and lehigh valley in the poconos. here's good news we will get cold air out and milder air will start to take over, as we head into the weekend, and we

can see that on the seven day forecast here, chance to see temperatures rise and 50's by the time we watch that eagles game on sunday. nasa's making plans for its next generation of explorer. >> new rover with major upgrade including radar that can search for water beneath the plan heat's surface and a sample of solid martial rock.>v it may reveal fossils or other signs of life from the planet 's past. >> we expect to find rocks that were deposited billions of years ago around the time when we think life was first beginning to emerge on earth. >> nasa scientists hope to one day collect rock sample and remotely rocket them to earth. sylvester stallone introduces guy who will play ivan drago's son in creed two, we will know, we will show you why, he might not even have to train. >> um, um, all right, let's do it. selena gomez ist the
